But smoking at breakfast has always been the most vile thing for me, not even the dawn air is sacrosanct. And yes, because people had just got up and were in the early stages of nicotine withdrawal, smokers did tend to light up at breakfast on QE2 and get through maybe 3 cigarettes to get their nico levels back up. You would see long-married couples who clearly had an unwritten contract - not a word to each other until the third fag. Another piece of trivia for you: QA is the first Cunard ship to never allow smoking inside. Notably in the Golden Lion, where smoking was allowed in the other 3 ships until about 2012. Ditto the casino and G32/Yacht Club - this was 5 years after the UK indoor ban in 2007. QA does still have a cigar lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly cigars, but pipes are also welcome (hence the identification as a "smoking" rather than "cigar" lounge). I've seen a post here mentioning a sneaky cigarette smoker getting in, but that's not the norm. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger3858 Posted August 21 #56 Share Posted August 21 Looking forward to my second time in QG- this time in QV. The previous was a transatlantic pre covid and we both enjoyed going off menu. I particularly enjoyed the crepes suzettes and cherries jubilee- I haven’t tried banana foster yet. Are there any other flambee desserts you would recommend? I’m interested in seeing what else they can do with Dover sole- sole bonne femme and sole Veronique seem to have come up in previous posts. On our crossing we got to try Osman’s table side spaghetti. Do you know if the current maitre ‘d on QV has any particular specialities? My wife says I focus on the food far too much- she’s almost certainly right!
