tybee1962 Posted October 20, 2011 #26 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Recived an update Wednesday morning from a friend on board - "Yes, engine troubles apparently. They appear to have sorted it out now. The captain mentioned it in his midday announcements on Monday and Tuesday. They didn't adjust their course at all! Kept on careening out into the open ocean despite the problems. Apparently it will have no impact on our arrival time into NYC." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised - there is nothing out there. The QM2 could turn sideways for the rest of the voyage and not hit anything during a transatlantic.

Ryancoke Posted October 24, 2011 #29 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I was on. And up at 7:30 Monday morning. I noticed no noise out of the ordinary nor that the ship had stopped. It did travel slowly on and off the next few days. No one I met mentioned anything and our table mates would have if they had noticed. Maybe we're unobservant. Or not overly taken to drama.

southwestie Posted October 25, 2011 Author #31 Share Posted October 25, 2011 A Lot of people did not that we had stopped, odd as we floated in silence for 20 minutes each time. the return so far is very smooth and so far no problems. The captain did mention it both days and again at all the world club parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to confirm the best time for a roll call M&G. I think 14:00 is good because it's straight after lunch and doesn't cut into afternoon tea.

Cruachan Posted October 25, 2011 #33 Share Posted October 25, 2011 ...I think 14:00 is good because it's straight after lunch and doesn't cut into afternoon tea. Good thinking - but remember that, in that short interval between organised eating, a lot of people will want to be putting in some serious buffet time in the Kings Court. :eek: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise D Posted October 25, 2011 #35 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey, could you do me a favour. Is there anything major going on in the daily program at 14:00 each day. I'm trying to confirm the best time for a roll call M&G. I think 14:00 is good because it's straight after lunch and doesn't cut into afternoon tea. Around 2-15 to 2-30 there are generally some lectures and bingo - at least I found that most people would rush off from lunch with something to do around that time. I looked up the Daily Programme for 20th March when we were en route to Nha Trang. Between 2pm and 2-30 the following were listed: Hostess Corner - Needlework Watercolour Art Class Duplicate Bridge session with instructor Social Bridge and Whist Canyon Ranch lecture Jackpot Bingo Shuffleboard tournament Computer Seminar.
