Could I please ask you to double-check one of those dates? 22 December is a turn-around day in Southampton. I'm guessing that's actually meant to be 23 December, the sea day after departing Southampton, for your Red and Gold gala evening. I'll list the date as 23 December for now since that makes the most sense. It might also be 25 December though since they sometimes like to schedule a Red and Gold gala evening on Christmas Day. In any event, please confirm for me the date you are seeing for that Red and Gold gala evening. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted January 4 Author #28 Share Posted January 4 Introducing the Queen Anne 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule document. I'll add the link for QA to the list of links for the other ships to have them all in one place. QM2: QM2 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule QV: QV 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule QE: QE 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule QA: QA 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule Of course at this point, the QA document is still very sparse. If you are on a QA voyage that I don't already have listed please let me know what you are seeing for your dress code and theme schedule in the daily calendar section of your booking in My Cunard. I just need to know the dates of your voyage, which dates are scheduled as gala evenings, and what themes (if any) are scheduled on those gala evenings. Also, additional dress code and theme schedules have now been posted for QE. If you are on a QE sailing departing March 10th or later please let me know the schedule for your voyage as well. And of course there are still quite a few gaps in the QM2 and QV documents. Please let me know the dress code and theme schedule for your QM2 and QV voyages if they aren't already listed in these documents. As always, thanks for any assistance you are able to provide with this project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NE John Posted January 4 #29 Share Posted January 4 (edited) 1 hour ago, bluemarble said: If you are on a QE sailing departing March 10th or later please let me know the schedule for your voyage as well. Q420 10 Nights Alaska from June 21. Only two Gala nights: 6/22 - Ice White 6/29 - Masquerade All other nights Smart Attire. I really thought for 10 nights we’d have three Gala’s. Frustrating to bring all the Gala wear for only two nights, especially since we have the equivalent of four sea days (scenic cruising). I emailed Cunard to give my feedback about going all the way to Alaska for 10 nights and only two Gala nights. The voyage in July has three.

LittleFish1976 Posted January 4 #30 Share Posted January 4 Finally, some information regarding themes for Q415 and Q416; QE in Japan. Q415 27th April Black and White 30th April Masquerade 3rd May Red and Gold Q416 6th May Black and White 8th May Masquerade 12th May Red and Gold No surprises there! However, I'm hoping the red and gold theme might be rather spectacular in Japan and hopefully with a large number of local passengers on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted January 15 Author #40 Share Posted January 15 The QM2 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule document is now complete! I recently learned the schedule for the Christmas cruise and one of the segments between Hamburg and Southampton I was missing. As of now, the 2024 QM2 Christmas cruise has a non-themed gala evening on December 23rd (apparently a recent addition) plus a Red & Gold gala on Christmas Day and a non-themed gala on New Year's Eve which is fairly typical. I've noticed Cunard are still scheduling Gala Evenings on the seas day of the 2-night segments from Southampton to Hamburg as they have in the past. But they are now scheduling Smart Attire evenings during the 2-night segments in the other direction from Hamburg to Southampton. In the past, it has been more typical for Cunard to schedule "Gala Optional" evenings in both directions between Southampton and Hamburg. For those who may be interested, here are my stats on the number of Gala Evenings per week for QM2 this year now that I have the complete 2024 schedule. QM2: 1.78 Gala Evenings per week (down slightly from 1.80 last year) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted January 16 Author #41 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Here's an interesting observation about which ship is leading the way in the number of gala evenings during 2024 based on the partial schedules I have so far. QV's Mediterranean schedules during 2024 consist of many individual cruises which can be booked as 7-night itineraries. Cunard are keeping to their word that there will be at least two gala evenings on each 7-night voyage. The trend in recent years has been to only offer three gala evenings on 14-night voyages which aren't bookable as two 7-night itineraries. But since each of QV's Mediterranean voyages are bookable as 7-night itineraries, we're seeing 14-night voyages on QV with four gala evenings and 21-night voyages on QV with six gala evenings. The number of 7-night Mediterranean voyages on QV during 2024 rivals the number of transatlantic crossings on QM2. Overall, QV is leading with the most gala evenings per week during 2024 based on the partial schedules I have so far. QV (82% of schedule) = 1.83 Gala Evenings per week QM2 (100% of schedule) = 1.78 Gala Evenings per week QA (93% of schedule) = 1.70 Gala Evenings per week QE (91% of schedule) = 1.69 Gala Evenings per week Edited January 16 by bluemarble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles2000 Posted January 16 #42 Share Posted January 16 QE observation. We are booked from 2/7-4/28244 on the 81 day cruise from San Francisco to Southampton. Our cruise is 11 weeks long, and we are only scheduled for 16 gala nights which equals 1.37% All the 2 week segments are 4 days but the 3 week segments are also only booked for 4 cruises?

Hmmm> Vernzina Looks like a few details may have been lost in translation here. I think you meant that you are on the 81-night cruise on Queen Anne from February 4 to April 27, 2025 sailing from San Francisco to Southampton. That sailing does indeed have 16 gala evenings scheduled over those 81 nights. That's typical of longer voyages such as that world voyage segment. Cunard does say there will be two gala evenings on each seven-night voyage. But that does not mean there will be two gala evenings per week on longer voyages. For the record, I count 22 gala evenings scheduled on QA's full 107-night 2025 world voyage starting in Southampton. That works out to 1.44 gala evenings per week. Still significantly fewer gala evenings per week than I anticipate will be the case for the remainder of her 2025 schedule when she will be doing more shorter cruises.

Rare NE John Posted January 16 #44 Share Posted January 16 Going back to QE, it seems that a number of 10 day Alaska voyages have only 2 Gala’s per voyage so that would skew QE #’s down a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
