On the other hand, we did have a supply of Qtips in the bathroom, along with cotton balls. QA doesn’t have a Concierge Lounge as such. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start on Deck 7 but forget to which Deck. Decks 7 to 11. Walk through spa reception area deck 7 forward behind Carinthia (Winter Garden as was). Entrance to lift is a little tucked away in a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to psckv QTips. with all the time zone changes people are getting out later every day and at 10:00 it really gets busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was getting chilly yesterday as we head northeastward. I think high was 50F and light winds. At yesterday’s briefing Captain said we should hit some heavier seas and wind probably on Tuesday. Today is starting overcast but very smooth with no white caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then look for the Statue of Liberty, then look a little below that. That’s on the agenda for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, once you figure out statistical quantum mechanics, it isn’t that complicated, either… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare elmsliebev Posted 20 hours ago #236 Share Posted 20 hours ago So glad you’re enjoying QM2. We have very happy memories of her as we did a TA for our honeymoon. My husband’s new wedding ring followed us home on the following EB TA! We are currently in Tokyo and boarding Regatta tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your trip and your UK travels. I went to university in Newcastle and I’m a Lancaster girl so Kendal is very familiar to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted 20 hours ago Author #237 Share Posted 20 hours ago One thing I really like is that on the bridge information screen they show the dates and city to change our clocks. On this crossing we only have 4 because DST began on Sunday in the UK 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted 20 hours ago Author #239 Share Posted 20 hours ago Found the famous hidden glass elevator. there are actually 2. Easiest way to find is walk the deck until you see it. Another quick option. In Commodore Club in the corner next to Churchill Lounge and also opposite corner. IMG_0532.mov 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an easier way to find the 'Glass scenic elevator is - 'Port Side of the Commodore Bar' ( past the Piano) situated over in the corner- sharp right - Ignore the entrance inn/out . Lift can be called for down to deck 7 or up to deck 11 - lift will ignore deck 10 suites .

Rare Jim_Iain Posted 19 hours ago Author #246 Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) As many of know that follow, I’m a tecky. Took me awhile to get things working but I have my Firestick up and operational. Once plugged in simply press the AV button on remote and it will shows the source ports. I mostly use YouTubeTV so we can watch our local news as well as our recorded programs. Generally streaming well. Been strange in the late evenings 11-12 we loose connectivity. Haven’t figured it out yet. On our TV there is a cord to tilt TV for easier insertion of the HDMI device.

Luv2Crus40 Posted 19 hours ago #248 Share Posted 19 hours ago We also like to visit forward Deck 2? where they have games and puzzles out on tables. Also great place to watch the waves go over the windows in rough seas. Our Yatze dice kept falling to floor. Had to shake them in the game box lid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
