Where is QM2?

[turquoise 6]

it looks like it will be exceptional calm seas all across the the TransAtlantic

crossing.

There is a tropical storm brewing in the Caribbean:eek: ,and will not affect this crossing.

The name is tropical Storm Chantal . We will be watching its path

[turquoise 6]

The QM2 is sailing in exceptional calm

North Atlantic . Very nice

I notice there seems to be a "push"

By QM2 to book the "grills"

It is a very subtle sale but its persistent

I like Britannia , but I don't like that I have to rationalize this fact to

Crew members .

My observation , any one have experienced this?:D

I 'sea' that you are plodding along at a very nice 19knts and just to cheer you up the weather in the Western Approaches of the Atlantic is beautiful clear blue skies, a calm sea and a nice cool breeze to ensure we get sunburnt without realising it :eek:;) The weather is purrfect

I am curious if any passenger who has been sailing with Cunard In 2013

been "PUSHED" about moving up to 2nd class:Princess G or 1st class:Queens G?

Yes Your right "slide" into grills

Subtle :)

Blue Ribbon has written an informative and interesting log of the July 6, crossing:)

it's been an unusually calm crossing , a true pond.

The first class Queen G and 2 class Princess G seem to have been booked fully. I noticed on the July 4 Cruise ,every balcony on the Queens G suites above Deck

8 aft was full and being used.

The Hot tubs on deck 8 full, and pool standing room only.

Does anyone know what a 2 nighter cruise is,on the Queen mary 2?:confused:

The shortest cruise the Queen Mary 2 does is a 5 day?(Halifax,Northern Europe)

No it isn't, they do 2 night trips to and from Hamburg and sometimes Cherbourg.

Interesting but disappointed:( I didn't think the Queen Mary 2 did the party cruises .

Carnival,NCL do a day at sea from NY,which is about 2 days. once or twice a year. I haven't done them nor will i do them

I think only Carnival does party cruises

I think that a two day trip with 1500 or 1600 German guests on board can't really be called a party cruise. :)

I can't imagine it. Visions of "lifeBoat":eek:

With all due respect to my fellow passengers on Cunard ,or any ship; I made a foolish, untrue statement. I have sailed with Germans, and I have spent time in Hamburg,Germany with my dear close friends. Sometimes

I get caught up in the internet frezzy.

As far as the movie Lifeboat: Is a vintage Hollywood movie, nothing more.

Happy sailing to everyone!! Ich wunsche eine gute Reise.:)

Gute Reise! Safe home to you Turquoise, and your fellow passengers sailing back to New York. Man, you were in the right place at the right time: the heat wave in NYC (and most of the US) was really nasty.

 

What a great time to be at sea - hope you all enjoyed your voyage.

Cheers from a Sweltering

Thank you Salacia, I do appreciate your thoughtfulness.:)

I hope you fared well in the heat wave.

My time clock is off and I do enjoy gaining an hour traveling to NY.

I am able to use my I phone to log on to the internet at any hour in my stateroom. Since I am a Diamond member, I am able to get get extra time.

Cheers and all the best

Bon voyage Queen Mary 2

:)

[turquoise 6]

My voyage was superb on the QM2. The Qm2 is sailing back to Southampton

wonderful ,great... A true Ocean Liner doing what the QM2 does best.

:)

[turquoise 6]

I am not on board the QM2 now, but it so easy to see " virtual computer"where,the weather conditions, the wave height,the milage from Brooklyn and the distance to Southampton .

great,great... but "virtual Computerization " can't replace a Martini in the Commodore .

Today the QM2 is in Southampton (Ocean Terminal) together with the QV (Mayflower Terminal). Meanwhile the QE is presently in Invergordon as part of her British Isles cruise.

I'm looking forward to my first crossing on the QM 2 on May 9th 2014, when all three Queens will sail out of Southampton together! :D Is this a common occurrence or am I just lucky to have picked that sailing?

[BlueRiband]

The shortest cruise the Queen Mary 2 does is a 5 day?(Halifax,Northern Europe)

 

The shortest QM2 voyage in the States is the July 1-5 NY - Halifax - Boston - NY loop. (It cannot be any shorter than that due to the US PVSA.) I was on it in 2012 and it was filled with vacationing Americans. Because of its popularity, and Cunard doesn't need to make deep price cuts, it will likely continue. It appears to be a win-win. US passengers get to sail QM2 without committing to a long voyage. UK passengers can spend a few days in NY and still travel round trip TA.

It happened twice last year. In June for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and then again on 13th July (I was on the QV that day). The reason for this second coming together was so that photographs of all 3 ships leaving Southampton could be taken in daylight. (In June they left in the dark). There was a helicopter taking photos for an hour. I bought a 2014 calendar on board the QM2 a couple of weeks ago with these photos on it.

 

The May 2014 get together is to celebrate QM2's 10th anniversary.

Good that you bought the calendar .I sailed in on the QM2 from

NY for the Jubilee. The ships were docked in the early am on Southampton

And we passed & saluted the Qm & Qv . It was amazing .

The crew , passengers on all shops ,all wide awake

Waving and cheering. Music blasting

The whole of Southampton was awaken
