  1. Knowing the country based on the previous Casablanca identification helped to narrow down this location. I think this is Essaouira, Morocco. Yeah, I'm not finding any evidence that a Cunard ship has called here either. Looks like an interesting location for a work meeting. Hopefully you avoided any serious intrigues here. 🙂
  2. Here's a screenshot posted by @Pushpit last September showing the main menu for "My Voyage". That's the same timeframe I last sailed with Cunard. I do not know if they have added any more functionality since then, but this will give you a general idea of some of the information and services available through My Voyage.
  3. Sorry, no, the My Voyage process is based on connecting to the intranet site "myvoyage.cunard.com" once onboard ship using the ship's wifi. None of the information found on My Voyage can be accessed from home. There is a webpage for "myvoyage.cunard.com" which you can access now from home, but it won't get you very far. That page simply discusses accessing the real site once on board and how to bookmark it on your device for easy access.
  4. @Colin_Cameron, I'll go ahead and rotate your photo to the correct orientation. It's easy to explain how photos in landscape (horizontal) orientation are sometimes upside down on this forum. One way to hold the camera horizontally is considered right side up and the other is considered upside down. Photos taken while holding the camera upside down contain information within the image file telling software that they need to be rotated 180°. The software on this forum that performs attachment file uploads apparently ignores that information about the image needing to be rotated, resulting in an upside down image here. I'm stumped though as to what could possibly be causing your images, presumably taken while holding the camera in portrait (vertical) orientation, to be uploaded here as if they were taken in landscape (horizontal) orientation. I'd probably need to see one of the original files from your camera to try to get to the bottom of what this forum is doing to it, but figuring out a good way to get that done might be more problem than it's worth.
  5. Concerning the promenade, I've seen a sign posted elsewhere with the following information. PROMENADE DECK 2.5 Laps = 1 Mile Jogging permitted 8.00am - 8.00pm <<< We recommend following a clockwise circuit when using the Promenade Deck to exercise I suspect @roscoe39 may be quite pleased with this arrangement for the recommended direction of travel around the promenade on Queen Anne. 🙂 Are those on board for the maiden voyage following that recommendation to travel clockwise around the promenade?
  6. Here's a transcription of a photo found elsewhere showing the Golden Lion Daily Specials board on Queen Anne. The date of the post indicates this is from yesterday. GOLDEN LION DAILY SPECIALS Pork Apple and West Country Cider Pie with Mash Potato and Vegetables of the Day Chicken Tikka Masala, Saffron Rice, Poppadum Steamed Syrup Pudding
  7. Queen Anne departing A Coruña, Spain this evening. This is a capture from the "A Coruña (móbil)" webcam found on the CRTVG "g24.gal" website. Looks like she had a fireboat water display to accompany her departure.
  8. Rather odd that, since as @D&N mentioned earlier, Cunard have increased the measure for wine to 175ml for the drinks package. That's the measure shown in the Queen Anne drinks menu I found elsewhere where the price for Whispering Angel is listed at $15.50 for 175ml. From the "A World of Drinks" page on the Cunard website: "Wine will be served in 175ml measures." Perhaps another case where the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. The other two rosé wines listed in that Queen Anne drinks menu are as you have mentioned, with these prices. "Cunard Private Label, Grenache/Syrah, France $9.00 (175ml) $12.00 (250ml) Rosé Zinfadel, The Bulletin, California, USA $9.50 (175ml) $13.00 (250ml)"
  9. Here's what I've seen posted for yesterday's Gala Evening menu in Britannia on Queen Anne. Perhaps a few items I don't recall seeing on a Britannia menu before. In celebration of Queen Anne Appetisers Duck Liver and Madeira Parfait with Smoked Duck Sultana and raisin brioche toast with onion and mandarin marmalade Cold Smoked ChalkStream Trout Fennel and apple remoulade and burnt apple purée Lyburn Old Winchester Cheese and Saffron Arancini Crispy chili and sofrito Mushroom Pâté and Wild Mushroom Artisan bread and mustard seeds Soups Lobster Bisque with Aged Cognac Butternut Squash and Lentil Velouté Turmeric, coconut, pumpkin seed and pistachio granola Salads Heirloom Tomatoes Bocconcini, basil jelly and balsamic dressing Celeriac and Apple Salad Frisée, red radish, pickled walnuts and grain mustard dressing Entrées Duo of Beef Glazed Rioja short rib, peppered chateaubriand, forest mushrooms, truffle Dauphinoise, asparagus and sauce Béarnaise Grilled South Coast Lemon Sole Fillets Baltic shrimps, samphire, capers, creamed leeks, crushed Jersey potatoes and sauce Nantua Roasted Rack of 'Red Gum Creek' Lamb Braised shoulder, potato purée, cos lettuce and bacon Pithivier of Spiced Cauliflower with Wilted Spinach Coconut curry cream and parsnip purée Braised Miso Asparagus Spelt, mushrooms, grilled gem, tofu dressing and pumpkin seed pesto Desserts Pistachio Soufflé Served with cherry ice cream Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Crémeux Passion fruit, espresso sponge and salted caramel parfait Vanilla Cheesecake Strawberry and vanilla salsa Choice of Ice Creams: White chocolate, cherry and Madagascan vanilla ice creams, pineapple sorbet and praline chocolate sauce Selection of British Cheese and Biscuits Cunard 'Stowaway' ewe's milk cheese, Smoked Blyton and Stilton with multigrain-crusted rye bread, quince jelly, fig and fennel chutney and biscuits Coffee and Petit Fours
  10. There's a drinks menu for Queen Anne recently posted on another forum which includes this line. "Whispering Angel, Château d'Esclans, France $15.50 (175ml) $21.00 (250ml)" So, it would appear Whispering Angel is now over the $13.50 limit for the Beers, Wines and Spirits drinks package.

  13. I've seen yesterday's Britannia dinner menu for Queen Anne posted elsewhere. I'll transcribe it here.

  14. Just under an hour now until this Solent Ships stream goes live to cover Queen Anne's maiden voyage sailaway with fireworks. SHIPS TV - LIVE Cunard Queen Anne (With Fireworks) Maiden Voyage Port of Southampton
  15. I just saw a photo a Queen Anne teddy bear posted on another forum. Unfortunately I don't have permission to post that photo here, but it does appear there is a bear available for Queen Anne now. The one in the photo I saw has a dark teal jumper/sweater with the Cunard coat of arms and name in gold on the front and "Queen Anne" in gold on the sole of his left foot.
