delgirl Posted July 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2017 On our TA end of july samantha barks was one of the guest lecturers, now it is showing emma samms instead. But if you look on cunard insights it is still saying samantha barks. Don't know which one to believe. I'm not bothered either way but our niece who is coming with us was really excited when she new samantha barks was on as she is a big musicals fan.

Lanky Lad Posted July 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2017 There will be more then one guest speaker, so with a bit of luck you will get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted July 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Just to help expand on what the OP is saying, here is what I am seeing for the enrichment programme speakers on voyage M728, 28 July - 4 August 2017. The document currently found at https://ask.cunard.com/resources/carnivaluk/life-on-board/QM2_insights.pdf shows this list of speakers. Emma Samms - Actress and Philanthropist John Renninger - Global Affairs Julian Woolford - Theatre Scott Bornstein - Memory Performance Expert Jeff Tall - maritime / aviation New York Times Speaker An earlier version of that same document I happen to have downloaded in June shows this list of speakers. Samantha Barks - Movie Actress / Singer - Les Miserables John Renninger - Global Affairs Julian Woolford - Theatre Scott Bornstein - Memory Performance Expert New York Times Speaker The document currently found at https://www.cunard.com/Documents/Enrichment/QM2insights_2017.pdf shows this list of speakers. Samantha Barks - Movie Actress / Singer - Les Miserables John Renninger - Global Affairs Julian Woolford - Theatre Scott Bornstein - Memory Performance Expert I don't know for sure, but since the document that lists Emma Samms instead of Samantha Barks is the most recent document of the three, my guess is that most likely Samantha Barks is no longer scheduled as a speaker on voyage M728. Hopefully I am wrong about that for the sake of the OP's niece, but that's my interpretation for what it's worth. On the plus side, the latest list does show an additional speaker, Jeff Tall, for a total of six speakers. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavovsky Posted July 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I am happy to see the latest list as finally there are speakers scheduled for the 8 December crossing. I see some high profile speakers for next year including Michael Parkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted July 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Did anyone see Bryan Batt's lecture earlier this month? He is on my cruise in September and I plan to attend. I saw both his evening show and the lecture in the theater one day at 11:00 am. Both were great. Bryan has an amazing singing voice and his lecture (question/answer) with the entertainment director was very entertaining. I think you will enjoy him.
