Last week QV was 1750 passengers so c86% full. Grills at 100%

I had rack of lamb last night - just for one. Lovely.

Retreat Lounge yes - rest of Retreat areas no.

Head for Picton area and Cloudy Bay.

It was as I ordered smoked haddock.

Can confirm that QV does have fish knives onboard. We been using them most days.

I know there have been some posts about limited a la carte menu. Not the case. Excuse pour pictures but you will see current offerings below. Bar set up - asked for Hendricks gin, unable to get for us.

Yes. Once on a port day. Not on E class.

Cunard now, for cruises from U.K. & Europe, now only ask you to test but don’t want evidence of a negative result. It’s self certify line you do for norovirus etc.

Change of policy for U.K. departure covid testing. Email received today ……. “For your embarkation port, all guests aged five years and over must still take a Covid‑19 antigen test and receive a negative result within two days of departure. You will no longer need to provide a test certificate, however, you will be asked to confirm the test has been taken, with a negative result, for you and each member of your party as part of your pre‑boarding health declaration at the cruise terminal. Adequate tests include over the counter tests, providing they fall within our list of accepted Covid-19 antigen tests. NHS tests are now only issued for those in medical need. However, if you have any remaining NHS tests, these would be accepted.”
