29th June is Masquerade (it can change though). There's a pinned post at the top of this forum that shows all the themes.

As the author of the pinned thread "Dress Code and Theme Schedules for 2024", please do double-check the schedule for your cruise. Log in to your booking in My Cunard and check the daily calendar found there. The dress codes will be listed for each individual day in your cruise calendar. For those days where the dress code is "Gala Evening" it will also list the theme (if there is a theme scheduled).

Tried to look at QV schedule but the link sends me to something called Google drive?

Yes, I post the Cunard dress code and theme schedule documents on my personal Google Drive cloud storage. That way they are shareable files I can keep updated. If I were to post the documents as attachments to a thread here on Cruise Critic, they would become static files as of the time they were posted rather than files I can keep updated as I receive additional schedules or changes to existing schedules and itineraries. I hope that helps explain why those dress code and theme schedule documents are located where they are.

 

Edit to add: When you select the link to the QV dress code and theme schedule, isn't it displaying the contents of a "pdf" file showing you the schedule for QV? That's what's supposed to happen. If it isn't displaying the QV schedule document for you, what exactly are you seeing? Just a generic Google Drive screen or something similar?

On post #1 of that thread, and somewhere on each page you should see a link to QV. Pressing on that should open a new page/window that has a list of whole year for QV. Follow that list down until you find your cruise. 

Clicking on this link should lead you directly to the file:

If that doesn't work for you (perhaps you have a pop-up blocker) I think this is a list of dress codes for the cruise you described, although you didn't specify actual dates, so it's a bit of a guess. And because it's copied from the file it's not laid out as nicely.

But I'm sure it would interest @bluemarble why you weren't able to access the link, if you can give him any more info?

Just to follow up, when you click on this link for the Queen Victoria 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule document

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cyvDcClHIEbbbga0u7o9M_DqNBL4ZdQL/view?usp=sharing

 

then you should see something similar to the following.

 

 

If you are not seeing anything similar to this, please let me know exactly what you are seeing to perhaps help diagnose what is going on.

For the masquerade ball, do they sell masks onboard or do people take their own?

[exlondoner]

Both I believe, and they sometimes have a mask making activity. But you don’t have to have a mask: most passengers don’t, though more of those choosing to dance in the Queens Room.

The masks sold onboard are very nice along with the high price $25-30.  Amazon sells fancy masks for like $4. I’d stick to the $4 mask. Masquerade Night provides a nice photo opp in the Queen’s Room so give it a try.
