1: 2x blackjack, 2x poker, 2x roulette. Will check minimums. 2: Twice a day. Not sure what you mean by how many stewards. We’ve only ever had a single steward. I'm sure if they were unavailable for some reason someone else would cover but in 30+ years of Cunard cruising I've never known that to happen. 3: Yes 4: Depends on your check-in time and cabin grade. Probably Lido/buffet or Golden Lion.

Queen Anne's newest crewmember has now taken up his position. His final training session. Try as I might I cannot get portrait photos to post properly from this phone. HH could you pls work your magic.

I guess they're getting it ready for the cocktail parties.

Nope.⁰

As someone that rarely uses the promenade deck on QE or QV I have no particular axe to grind, but here's my thoughts anyway. The promenade deck has a more consistent width without the very narrow bottlenecks that exist on the Vistas, so may be more suitable for those out for pure exercise. The lack of any view on 60-70% of the circuit may discourage those out for a stroll. And those that used the loungers are obviously completely out of luck.

I got on at the top deck yesterday to be informed that the lift was going down. I thought, "I @&%£!* hope so"

There are gates but no sign of a card reader. Though that may come.

Especially when the alternative is two decks down, through the lido, and two decks up again.

No, because that's also the Grills. You need to go down to at least 9.

No, it's only the Centre section. The problem is getting from A to C without going through B.

Tha Chart Room, Carinthia Lounge, Queen's Room, at least three of the outdoor bars and probably some others.

I'm with Myles on everything here. Edit to add that the photo I have from below, looking up is a portrait one so will probably turn sideways if I post it.

@tacticalbanjo I thought you would be easy to find but there seem to be quite a number of babies, infants and children on board.

Things are improving. Slowly, but they are improving. Last night, night three, there was no queue to get into second sitting. The tablet/pad ordering system (used by the waiters, not the passengers) seems very hit or miss. Sometimes they're all using it, sometimes they're all back to pencil and paper, and sometimes it's a mixture. The food itself has been good, with the exception of a bowl of cold soup last night which was promptly replaced.

We watched this and enjoyed it as well, and agree about the pillars. I can see this being a useful second entertainment venue. Maybe we shouldn't be comparing to the other ships but Cunard have invited the comparison by branding the ship as a Cunard Queen and labelling this as The Queen's Room.
