rjms74 Posted January 2, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Does anyone have any further details yet of the just over 2 week refit of QE2 after the 2006 World Cruise? I would not have thought they could do much in this short time? Kind Regards, RJMS74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougnewmanatsea Posted January 2, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Quite a lot can be accomplished in two weeks... In fact most refits except for very major ones do not take more than a few weeks. Many ships only go into drydock for five days or so every two years. I am not sure what is being planned - I will ask this week when I am on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen@stoneyard.co.uk Posted January 2, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Whatever Cunard are planning, I hope they finish the refit as scheduled. I am booked on the first cruise after the refit. Apparently they have been doing redecoration work while QE2 is on cruises. I dont think I would like that if it was my cruise when they were doing the work. Many public areas did seem to have been refreshed when I was on my last cruise. Paint looked bright and carpets seemed new. I did think redecoration was needed in the cabins. I saw cabins on Signal Deck (my cabin) and Two Deck (visited). The paintwork was marked, furniture seemed battered and some fittings did not work. Nothing too bad, but QE2 cabins will definitely need work soon. I dont think two weeks is long enough to do much to all those cabins though. Of course they will be doing work on the hull and other certification matters. Best wishes, Stephen.

Cunard Cruiser Posted January 3, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I saw on the Cunard US website that QE2 will be going to NY/FL at the end of the 2007 world cruise. So where would be her refit? I am wondering if she is doing a US Caribbean cruise as she would always do after the world cruise? MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen@stoneyard.co.uk Posted January 4, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QE2 refits seem to be every two years. As a refit is booked for 2006, the following refit would be 2008. I would expect 2007 to be free of refits. Best wishes, Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
