QM2 Departure time May 16, 2014

Does anybody know the QM2's departure time on May 16th. I understand it to be 11:59pm. Anyone know if this is indeed the case and why so late?

See Cunard Roll Call - QM2 M405A TA 16May 2014

I found this in the Roll Call section for the May 16 2014 QM2 sailing.

"I asked our TA to check on this for us. He was told that "officially" the departure time is still 17:00. However, there is a high probability there will be "something" special for the 10 anniversary that will delay the departure past 17:00. The 23:59 is more of a place holder than an actual time. Cunard will most likely announce what the "something" is when we get closer to the May 16th departure."

While it does not answer your question in full it is a hint. We are arriving on a red eye from Los Angeles at 6:30 A. M. on the 16th and I hope this does not delay boarding time. I don't like the idea of sitting around the cruise terminal all day with luggage in tow. Tom

Our e-ticket shows our check-in time as 12:00 and says check-in closes at 15:30. Somewhere on Cunard's official site - I can't find it now - there was a hint of a celebration in New York for this designated 10th anniversary crossing.

If it is any help, we are on deck 8 for this EB crossing and our check-in time is shown as 2:00pm on our e-tickets.
