Classiccruiser777 Posted March 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have read on another thread that galley tours are given on QM2 but that they are not advertised. According to that thread one may sign up for a galley tour at the purser's office. Has anyone done so and does anyone know of any other "behind the scenes" tours? Are such available on QE and QV? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwestie Posted March 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2011 you are correct about the QM2, we have been three times now, same thing, but always interesting to do, they are done on sea days normally. I cant say for QE & QV, I would ask:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerking Posted March 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2011 My wife and I did the galley tour on our Caribbean Cruise last November. It was indeed very interesting. But it is the only available tour "behind the scenes". No bridge, no engine room, no crew accomodations, no storage areas and so on. It's not even possible to get a plan, fotos or videos from those parts of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2011 At least on QMII, I have seen "virtual" bridge tours offered in the Planetarium on some sea days. I found them interesting. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwestie Posted March 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well, true, except they also do a medical room tour, you have to a nurse, doctor etc, but they enforce it, it too is very interesting and QM2 is one of the best places to have a heart attack, the quipment they have is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Barcroft Sailor Posted March 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can't say about the QV (sailing for the 1st time in 2 weeks) but on the maiden TA to NYC on the QE, they did have a galley tour as part of the ship's program. We all queued up at around 1100 and went through the galley as announced in the ship's programme for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
