rt86 Posted February 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi all, We're first time travellers on Cunard, booked on QV for August. We've cruised twice with P&O so are no strangers to the dress code etc - pretty much the reason my wife wants to go back on another cruise is the dressing up and atmosphere in the evening! I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips / guidance, which isn't published directly on Cunard's website, or anything we should be aware of in advance? Thanks in advance! :D Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted February 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Which dates are you on? I ask because my husband and I are in for two weeks from August 19th. QV is a lovely ship, and will not long have been in for a refit, so will be in good shape. What would you like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc88 Posted February 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Ryan Great questions. I'm also new to Cunard but have done a little research and found out that the soft drinks package is unlimited. They don't tell you that on the website. But could be a useful tip for you. Also in case you were wondering the dress code hopefully shouldn't be too different to P&O. I enquired about chinos and great news -- you can wear these too. These forums are a wealth of information. Looking forward to being on QV myself later in the year. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rt86 Posted February 14, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Gill, I think we may just miss each other. Just really looking for any info that isn't advertised or that you'd only know having cruised with Cunard / on the QV, which would help make our time aboard even better. Joe, great investigative work! This is exactly what I'm after. I saw the soft drinks package and noticed the wording was a little 'loose' around usage, but this looks like a bargain for $6.50 a day. Chinos is good to know - may pack a pair just incase. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegase90 Posted February 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2017 For the informal nights, chinos and a sports jacket/blazer will be fine. Up to you whether to add a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBearSF Posted February 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A few bits of Cunard advice The room service is great. You can write-in breakfast requests and they will be honored. (within reason, of course) The pub lunches in the Golden Lion Pub are excellent As is afternoon tea (hmmm... I wonder why all my advice is food-related?)
