Daily Programme for QE2

I am going to be taking 2 cruises next year on the QE2, not having sailed on her since 1993 - so I guess a lot has changed?!!

I would be very interested to read any recent daily programmes anyone has and would be willing to scan - I know something similar was done for the QM2 and proved extremely popular with many forthcoming passengers. Likewise it would be great to see any recent menus for the Mauretania or Caronia restaurants.

If anyone can help with this matter I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Spinnaker

I feel sorry for you for not getting any response to your thread, seems like QE2 passengers are not as generous as QM2 passengers...

****just kidding ***(wanted to grab their attention).

If anyone has QE2 daily programmes they can scan or send me for scanning, it would be very appreciated by many cruise critic members.

If anyone can help with this matter I would be most grateful.

 

If you care to email me, would be a pleasure to help a fellow QE2 passenger, and your right a lot has changed!!!:eek: but she is still a great ship, and still has that magic!:D

Don't say that, you're a very nice person who would like to help but simply doesn't know how.

Do you have access to a scanner?

If you do, let me know and I'll tell you how to upload the scanned files to a public site.

If you don't, could you send them to me by the mail (I swear to return everything in a timely manner) and I could post them here for other people.

Thank you jp2001 for your shot in the arm to this thread, and for your offers of practical help. And thank you to kathie and cunardqueen for your offers of help.

I'm intrigued now to learn what has changed over the last 13 years!!

I scanned and posted some daily programmes and menus from a cruise in July of this year at http://de.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tapawipi/album?.dir=/6928re2&.view=t

Pages 5 and 6 of the programmes are very similiar for every sea day thus I provide them only ones. I also include one example of the short additional information for German speaking passengers.

I hope this helps somebody and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

carlmm,

Firstly, thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to post these - it is much appreciated.

Would anyone be able to tell me how I can get these images large enough to be able to read them please? I have tried copying them into MS Word and PowerPoint but neither helped (or I couldn't work out how to make them help!).

Any help much appreciated,

Spinnaker

I am sorry you have difficulties to read the copies.

Maybe somebody can recommend another free web site where I can post the images without loss of quality?

May I suggest photobucket.com, it worked out great for the Daily Program of QM2 (http://s102.photobucket.com/albums/*****).

Although they are from the January 2006 sailing from NYC to LA, I have some posted at: http://community.webshots.com/user/delrock

I too can recommend photobucket.com (I'm the pb82 of (http://s102.photobucket.com/albums/*****).

It's free and there's no loss of resolution. It does have some minor annoyances:

Uploading is tedious, three or four clicks per file, i.e, no drag-and-drop.

It stores and displays files in LastInFirstOut order, and I haven't figured out how to change that order after loading.

Finally, if there's an easy way to move files between sub-albums, I haven't found it yet.

Good luck,

Paul

Chilkoot,

Thank you very much for these - they made fascinating and exciting reading for someone who is counting the days until his cruise!

Here is the direct link to the wonderful site PB has and I want to say thank you to PB for uploading these because it helped my wife and I allot in choosing in Cunard for next summer.

That gold top to the daily programme is new. It wasn't there on the late June Land of the Midnight Sun cruise, but was for the one nighter!

I'd scan some Queens Grill menus were it not for the fact that I have no scanner!

You're welcome, patval, thanks for the kind words.

And my thanks to carlmm and Chilkoot for the QE2 information. I've never sailed on the QE2, my wife did once twenty years ago. Now we hope to work out some sort of QM2/QE2 combination for next year or maybe in '08.

By the way, Chilkoot, Captain Christopher Rynd, the QE2 master on your January cruise was the QM2 master on our May/June crossings.

Thank you to everybody for the photobucket information. Unfortunately it also does reduce the image size to 1024x768. Nevertheless I posted the daily programmes again and hope they will be of use to somebody.

Thank you very much for uploading the menus and daily programmes so swiftly - it is great to see the delicious menus and the range of activities on offer. The Princess Grill must have been an amazing experience and I can see that I certainly won't be bored during the crossing!

I hope you get things worked out to hop on the QE2. It was a wonderful experience, not like any other cruise we've been on.

I see that you have had lots of help with your requests and I dont need to streach my brain trying to send the menus to you ,although I would have posted them.Have a wonderfull time.

Kathie.:)

Thank you very much. I am now booked on the trans-Atlantic crossing in January and am already counting down the days!
