Lanky Lad Posted September 10, 2010 #15 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Great news :) I just hope they can get the engine fixed, if they do then she will still be able to make it in time. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacia Posted September 11, 2010 #16 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Great news :) I just hope they can get the engine fixed, if they do then she will still be able to make it in time. :eek: Hi Lanky Lad. I don't know what caused the delay in departing from Quebec, but I don't think there's a problem with the engine because Valentino who is on board QM2 now posted just a short time ago they're going at just about max speed.

William Dean Posted September 11, 2010 #17 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi Lanky Lad. I don't know what caused the delay in departing from Quebec, but I don't think there's a problem with the engine because Valentino who is on board QM2 now posted just a short time ago they're going at just about max speed. She said that they were doing 25 knots. That's not full speed, although it is a common service speed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacia Posted September 11, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 11, 2010 She said that they were doing 25 knots. That's not full speed, although it is a common service speed. :) Hi William Dean. You are right, she is not doing full speed. I wrote that the ship was going "just about full speed". If I remember correctly her full speed is 29.62 knots and her cruising speed is 26 knots. I don't know why, but the on recent voyages, the speed at which she travels has been reduced. Fuel economy perhaps? But you raise an interesting question: why can't QM2 make up the 6 hours lost as a result of delayed departure from Quebec on Thursday? :confused: Regards, Salacia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinta Posted September 11, 2010 #21 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I haven't been on here for ages as we aren't travelling with Cunard until next May :( Still QV in May & QM2 in October 2010 :D How lovely to read this as the first post I see. Congratulations Catherine! I see Cunard put something in your tea when you first boarded too. We also booked a 'one off' TA on QM2 in 2006 & our next voyages will be our 9th & 10th :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north east girl Posted September 11, 2010 Author #22 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi Bisham boo and Heywood, Looking forward to meeting you in Manchester. Got the train tickets, told Tony today what is happening. I keep thinking I need to check my voyage personaliser just in case it goes back to our original booking. I've printed off the e ticket and luggage labels, they just cannot take it back now. Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
