Yes, the book shop will be my first go to, with my iPad to take a photo. The Cunard shop might also have one. It’s a sea day today ( glorious weather so far) so I’ll go and spend some obc on teddies and look for a journal. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we bought in September some small travel bags that came in handy. Black with read lettering. Even have small wheels on the bottom that helped. DW enjoyed the clothing selection.I saw this years version of the teddies right by the door. Even got nice passport covers to keep our doc's for next voyage. Enjoy your time in the Shop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to buy one of those bags on wheels last Christmas after 2 weeks Christmas shopping in various ports I needed one to pack all my extras in. I got mine on QV but didn’t see them on QM last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right. They are in the Cunard shop at the moment on QV. Got the member of staff to hold it to get some idea of size. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Victoria2 Posted July 30, 2023 Author #87 Share Posted July 30, 2023 For those concerned about Cunard passengers potentially letting the side down as far as evening attire is concerned, the Masquerade Gala evening was awash with elegance and I have to say, a fair few lovely masks. Yes, there were a few Queens Room watchers on the third deck but even then, I wouldn’t say 'scruffy', just not Gala wear. All's well on QV. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted July 30, 2023 #88 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Sounds like they're really leaning into their themes. What movie(s) did they show to go with Masquerade? I remember that for Roaring 20s, the TV programming including "Some Like It Hot." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We attended the drinks do this morning as we met with friends there. All I can say is, it’s many years since we attended a Senior Officers do, and it will be many years to the next one. The Queens room was packed. Heaving. Having attended much smaller gatherings in the past it was no fun whatsoever. Our little party left after the one and only speech from a WC rep. Rather a boring affair all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted August 2, 2023 #98 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Opening hours vary slightly by ship but generally the start of first sitting in Britannia is earlier than the opening times of the Grill Restaurants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted August 3, 2023 #99 Share Posted August 3, 2023 @Victoria2 sorry about the eczema thing, great to know you were able to get meds, even if not the same as yours, hope you carry on enjoying 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted August 3, 2023 #100 Share Posted August 3, 2023 @Victoria2 Sorry to hear the party was a flop. Thanks for letting everyone know. Alas, Sashenka didn’t arrive in time for the beach trip, but it was here last night and I could barely put it down. China also arrived and it was difficult to decide which to read first. Some problems are good problems. 🙂 I’ll save it for the September cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
