Daytime entertainment on QM2

Hi

Sailing on QM2 13th Jan - just looked at a review of the QM2 which gave the impression that all the day time lectures etc. were a bit heavy-going and there wasn't much in the way of fun. Quite happy to be educated part of the time but also like a bit of 'froth'. Can anyone tell me if there is a variety of things on the daytime programme. Quite keen on quizzes.

Thanks

Sandie

I happened to have the daily programme close by from our trip. They did have quizzes in the pub. We dont much enjoy this type of game, so I cant say first hand.

We also attended a comedy skit during the day by the staff, the CD played the role of Sherlock Holmes. Wonderful humor, and was great fun. We also went to one of the showings of a Planetarium film which was entertaiing.... So sure, you will find fun things to do.

Sandie, I saved our Daily Programmes from a QM2 Caribbean cruise June, 2004, here. Check page three, "Today At a Glance", of each for the activities.

Have you joined our rollcall?

There will be trivia quizzes every day that you are at sea and sometimes in the evening after dinner (around 10 p.m.) They are held in the pub and have a huge following!

"There will be trivia quizzes every day "

More than once. And classes on drinks or beer or wine, and games competitions and etc, etc, etc

There is so much daytime entertainment (both educational and fun) that I have a hard time deciding what to select. Using the schedule, I do it by process of elimination (going from the least interesting to the most interesting). Then I circle my number 1 choice, 2, 3, etc. Sometimes I get to a venue and change my mind if it isn't what I thought it would be, and head out in search of number 2 on the list. There aren't enough hours in the day to attend all that I would like to attend. You are going to have a great time.

anyone have a programme for a 4 day cruise on QM2 ?
