Queens Grillers- let me hear ya!

[Wedgie Wedgie]

Inside a month to go. You really do not hear much from the QG'ers. 

 

Are you so happy it's better to just keep things hush hush?

 

Give us your QG conquests!

People usually complain there is too much about the Grills, but, if you are really interested, try the thread about QA to the Canaries.

Don't know about conquests but would love to conquer the coffee machine in the cabin! 😁

We never conquered the coffee machine on QV and spoke to butler and he said he would replace it. Don't know if he did because still couldn't get it to work properly.

I guess we conquered it in a way as we bring our own instant!😀

I have never dared attempt to mix with it. The only people I remember mentioning they achieved success had Italian blood. 😀 Mind you the bath taps almost defeated me.

Are you on 23 June QA to the Fjords? We are - first time going there, and I'm very excited!

Great itinerary [one of our fall backs!] and hopefully, you'll love the whole experience. I get the impression you might be in QG. Wonderful experience. Lucky you.

We are on QA again later and hopefully, the main glitches will have been snagged. Don't forget, if you ARE a first timer, the staff are there to answer any QG questions and the Grills Concierge, who will still be there in June is beyond marvellous.

Enjoy.

Thank you! And thanks also for your really helpful tips and thoughts on your trip 😀

Make friends with your Maitre D, Assistant Maitre D, Waiter, Assistant Waiter & Sommelier and you will never want for a thing if you ask. Just remember they are not mind readers!! They are lovely hard working professionals that like us all appreciate a hello, a thank you and a how are you when you speak to them. They are there to serve you but they are not servants. 

 

Ask for any specialty meals with as much notice as you can.

 

Remember the Grills concierge can also be a very helpful person to assist you in your needs during your cruise.

That's not quite my impression of this board, indeed we are blessed by some very experienced and lucid QG posters. Are you seeing the whole board or have filtered to just one ship?

 

The ones you don't hear quite so much about are the Oceanview passengers and Inside stateroom travellers, even though they are saving so much money they can then go on a lot more sailings as a result. Chapeau to @Megabear2 for her ongoing reports around the UK.

Can someone tell us who the current Maitre D on QM2 is?

[BklynBoy8]

Having been Grill Passengers, we have appreciated the Care and Concern we have received in the past.

 

Also in the Suite, Concierge Lounge, Grill Lounge and Restaurants, we have been cared for with all our needs and requests.

 

Yes, it is wise to become accustomed to the Staff and Crew that will be attending to you.

Let’s meet up in QG for this voyage. I’ve been in Britannia and PG before, first for QG. A big difference with Cunard is that the waiters do not try to be the center of attention and are truly kind to us. No waiters dancing on tables etc… Plus, everyone makes a fuss over you.  You’ll be embarrassed with the kind attention you’ll receive. Just don’t order the gnocchi!

John,

Pls you will never see me buy a ticket for a "boat not ship" like that.

That's a bet! 

We always make friends with the staff. It's a given.

I see you're from CT. While I'm originally from Miami, most of my roots are from New Haven and Hartford- a lot of Pratt and Whitney employees.

Just listen for the Loud McNultys!

Great, do you know how long he is on QM2?  Hoping through the Fourth of July cruise.

Great, thanks - he was there on our last TA in 2019 and yes, he's great.
