Brit and proud Posted February 20, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Loved the one of the QM2 (1st one), the beach looked a bit more crowded than we are used to... Keep them coming Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindlychap Posted February 20, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2008 yes, Princess Grill. Nice to see proper balcony furniture. Not that nasty plastic tat on the other balconies (this could be something they do to seriously upgrade AA - I'm used to teak on QE2.....)

Matthew I thought the chairs were poly mesh stretched accross metal tubing, but maybe I have already lost my memories from this past weekend?

Highly possible given the sleep deprivation and martinis!:D Not sure what kind of chairs are in non-grill staterooms. My PG balcony had 2 teak deck chairs and a small table. It was very pleasant. I recall from my previous voyages in Britannia cabins that the chairs were plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayleur Posted February 22, 2008 Author #12 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Tayleur, Is it my imagination, or is that a very rough sea outside there? Paul It was gale force following wind which was canceled out by the forward speed of the ship at 28 knots, making for a very pleasant condition on deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly possible given the sleep deprivation and martinis!:D Nope .... Your memory is still intact. (Unless there's something you want to forget?? :D ) The outdoor chairs are what you described. In my opinion, an improvement over what the balconies had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treasure all the memories and am glad I did not dream this up. Much nicer than sticky plastic, but certainly would prefer wood. Although they are easily found outside (and I suppose could be carried to the room in the wee hours:D ). "Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind..."

Fun Aboard Ship When Bored: Simply don a spare deck stewards jacket and wander around the pool deck. Confused passengers will think you work there and that's when the hilarity ensues. There's nothing more satisfying than giving someone poor service with no fear of retribution. Passenger: "Can I ask you a question about reserving chairs?" Me: "You just did." P: "Listen, I..." Me, interrupting: "You must think today's d**chebag day. It's not. It's not d**chebag day." P: "I want to speak to your manager!!" Me: "I am the manager. I own this f*ck*ng ship.

Speaking of cruise photos AND how to entertain oneself, I've got another game you might like to play. Photograph whomever you think would appreciate a wakeup call on attire, demeanour, etc., have them developed and set up your own board down in the photo gallery. While you improve shipboard ambiance you also profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clearly explains all the instances of poor service that people experienced on the recent cruise.

If Cunard are reading this (and we know that they do) they may track me down in November and put me in the Brig or make me walk the plank! More likely, some service rep in HQ will print it out and send it to Ms. Marlowe with a note attached "Dear Ma'am, not to worry, this explains all the muss 'n fuss.":cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
