erniebernie Posted May 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi was just wondering if there is a way to follow the refit ie cameras on board or a dedicated Cunard page? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minz56 Posted May 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Usually this depends on someone on the ship taking photos and videos and then posting them on Social Media. From there they can work their here way to CC. When Azamara upgraded their ships there was great coverage on Social Media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahucruiser Posted May 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I asked on Cunard's Facebook page if they will be posting any photos or videos of the progress. Hope to get an answer sometime tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapIrish Posted May 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm assuming people have seen this page: http://www.cunard.com/cruise-ships/queen-victoria/refit-for-a-queen/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=qv-refit&utm_content=winter-garden&sf66125682=1 Doesn't track the refit, but highlights some of the plans.

chengkp75 Posted May 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2017 When a ship enters a drydock, the shipyard assumes full financial responsibility for the ship, so the shipyard's rules on photographing work sites apply. Sometimes you get crew posting photos on social media, and sometimes it is banned by the cruise line, or pulled from the sites, because of legal agreements with the shipyard. It comes down to liability, in that anything seen in a photo posted on social media could be used in any litigation against the shipyard. A long time CC poster, DryDock Dave, has been severely limited in his posting of shipyard photos for RCI and Carnival ships that he has worked on, for this very reason. Generally now, he uses his wife, another CC poster, to share the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahucruiser Posted May 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yesterday I left a message on Cunard's Facebook page asking if they will be posting photos or videos of QV's progress. Today I received an answer that said, "yes, indeed, we will be posting on social media. Watch for it in the next few weeks." So, sometime soon we should be able to start seeing photos and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowunder Posted May 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2017 First video of QV entering dry dock appeared this a.m. on Cunard's FB page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tillylovesseabourn Posted May 14, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yes there are now some pics on the cunard fan pages of the aft section on and now in place and the old section discarded, it looks much bigger now certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted May 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Friend Christine just got off the end of the World trip, before the refit and had this photo. QV in Southampton as workers unload containers of things for the refit. Those who followed her progress to Sicily say they were in a hurry to get there, traveling at 21+ knots most of the way.

Rare Germancruiser Posted May 15, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Ah they install the " Queen Elisabeth back" - a few more cabins - a bit more money for Carnvial- well I suppose QV can cope with the added passengers! I hope Cunard does not get any ideas about changing QM2 that way and spoil the nice " back" of QM2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summergee Posted May 16, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So what is going where the future cruise office was? We have looked at the plans for after the refit and there is no Chart Room marked and Cunardia is still there. Does anyone have a link to the correct post re fit plans?

Rare Victoria2 Posted May 16, 2017 #22 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So what is going where the future cruise office was? We have looked at the plans for after the refit and there is no Chart Room marked and Cunardia is still there.Does anyone have a link to the correct post re fit plans? To be precise, the Future Cruise Office is moving to where the duty free alcohol and cigarettes were sold,.next to the Queen's Arcade rather than the actual walk through Cunardia exhibition area. The Chart room is moving next to the champagne bar, sort of sharing the area with Cafe Carinthia, deck 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
