tourlink99 Posted June 19, 2016 #611 Share Posted June 19, 2016 OK, I volunteer! Even though I'm more of a lurker but it appears that photographic action needs to be taken! I'm going on the Mary July 15 for 9 nights. Ill take a myriad of pictures and make sure there posted. We dont want anyone to be stressed out over pictures of our baby. Consider it done.

Rare BlueRiband Posted June 19, 2016 #613 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Very odd claim on the G32GBQM2 page: "Retweeted Gary (@garybull2016): @RMSQueenMary2 Found out today Stephen Payne (designer of QM2) was not consulted or asked for opinion on refit changes." If true, that is very odd with all of the structural changes that had to be in the planning for well over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted June 19, 2016 #614 Share Posted June 19, 2016 No offense to anyone else's photography but I look forward to Pepperrn's post-refit photos.Thank you sincerely Underwatr :o . Given the amount of rebuilding and refurbishment that has been done, it will almost be like photographing a whole new QM2! I'm very keen to explore and update my photos. Thank you again, really very generous of you :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted June 19, 2016 #615 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Me too! Bummer we have to wait until November :(Hi Salacia, Thank you :o . No-one is more sorry than me that I have to wait until November to see the changes and improvements. When I booked (June '15) I had no idea that the "remastering" would be so extensive. Trust me, I am counting down the days... actually, I am almost counting the hours... :D Is it still too early to start packing do you think?

I'd love to add the preceeding, and following, crossings as well (making it Southampton-Southampton rather than New York-New York), but my elderly father has serious health issues and I don't wish to be away from my parents for a month. So I'm flying the Atlantic both ways (:(). Hopefully we can meet on a crossing next year? I'd be greatly honoured to meet up with you! I hope you book your crossing, have the best time on board the "new" QM2 (and tell me all about it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, that is very odd with all of the structural changes that had to be in the planning for well over a year.Hi BlueRiband, I too found it odd that Dr Stephen Payne hasn't appeared in any of Cunard's publicity photos taken during the refit. Had he been involved/consulted I would have thought they'd be making the most of it; "Stephen Payne oversees the remastering of his greatest project" or something like that. But, unless I missed it, I've seen nothing of his involvement. Edited June 19, 2016 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he was there but just didn't recognizably appear in the background. She is heading back, here she is passing Cruxhaven Thanks for her new profile image! I'm glad she is not too drastically altered. The only thing that does stand out is the "box" where her sports center was relocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the soul of discretion and said he was unable to really say anything because he didn't work for them anymore and didn't believe he would be anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
