Marronnier Posted October 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'm booked on the QV mini cruise from Southampton to Hamburg and back leaving on 10th January. The Cunard pdf listing speakers on the QV does not have this cruise listed - although it does have the cruise before and after this one listed. Is this likely to mean there will be no speakers on this short cruise or just they haven't for some reason published them? Thanks for for any information or 'Insights'!

Host Hattie Posted October 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2018 We did this cruise earlier this year and we had speakers so I think it's just that they aren't finalised yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marronnier Posted October 20, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thank you for this additional information. Your report has given me a real flavour of the cruise. I was very interested to hear about the shuttle in to Hamburg. I've note from my Voyage Personaliser that the dress code each evening is "Smart Attire". Is this the same as last year? So no need to take formal wear. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMJP Posted October 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I don't know if your cruise will be the same but we've just returned from a 4 day cruise on QM2 Southampton to Hamburg and back to Southampton, our voyage personaliser also said smart attire. Once on board the second night was a gala night which we could either wear smart attire or participate in more formal wear. Most people were not wearing formal wear. Hope this helps and enjoy Hamburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted October 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2018 That's what happened to us and I have heard is a regular occurrence, once you are on board the night before Hamburg changes to Formal/Gala optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted October 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) As I can travel to/from Southampton without flying (and therefore without weight/bag restrictions), on the Southampton-Hamburg-Southampton trips I've packed formal wear just in case there is an "optional" formal night. Indeed on quite a few short Cunard cruises I've noted several people on each trip dressed formally regardless of there being no scheduled "official" formal night during the cruise.

I couldn’t find this cruise - do you mean leaving on 6 jan and returning the 10th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
