Vic The Parrot Posted April 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2004 First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a great Easter weekend. Hope you and yours are enjoying your holiday. I was wondering if anyone else noticed the info in the Voyage Info book regarding the currency used on the QE2. This is for the upcoming EB crossing, and my book states ..... "The official currency used aboard QE2 is in US dollars.." I thought starting this year, the onboard currency would be GB pounds. Could this be a typo, or perhaps pounds won't be used until the 1st series of European cruises? Anyone else catch this in that book? vic 16 - HAL 9 - Cunard 4 - Home Lines 2 - NCL 2 - Royal Viking Line "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisr Posted April 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi Vic, Originally after the QE2 completed her WC she was going to switch to GBP. That has chnaged. The currency on her will remain in USD to be consistent with the QM. The Caronia is in GBP and will stay that until she leaves the fleet (how sad) this fall. When are you sailing?

Vic The Parrot Posted April 12, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi cruisr Thanks for your input! I'm going on the QE2 25April crossing, and it's getting VERY CLOSE! I'm not ready! LOL Just spoke with my PCC at Cunard, and he verified that USD will be the official currency. As to GBP, it won't be til after the refit, and the European programme. I'll catch you later vic 16 - HAL 9 - Cunard 4 - Home Lines 2 - NCL 2 - Royal Viking Line "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisr Posted April 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2004 HI, Actually, if the PCC said the currency will be GBP after the refit, that is incorrect. After the refit it will still be USD on the ship. It was going to be GBP after the refit, but now will be USD after the refit. Bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
