  1. I don’t think there is any evidence that Cunard are altering the menus to make people go to a restaurant where they have to pay extra. But as I have said before, it seems strange that they give two vegetarian choices out of five main courses, when there is also a separate vegetarian menu. It is invariably subjective, but when I have travelled, I doubt anywhere near 40% of my fellow passengers have chosen theses dishes. But this is not something new for QA.
  2. The only menu I have actually seen from onboard was yesterday’s lunch menu, which was quite remarkably similar to past lunch menus. As to the slowness of the service, isn’t that really more likely to be because it was her first day of operation?
  3. Yes, she clearly doesn’t know the current usage of infamous. On the other hand she was down to earth enough to have no truck with Artisan’s Food Hall, and just called it the buffet. I must say I do think the ship (mainly) looks great.
  4. Yes, and in general I was wondering if people had come across many staff they knew.
  5. I do like there is somewhere for weary weeds to sit while the lifts trundle up.
  6. According to the brochure, standard insides on QV are 152, those on QA 148. I would call that a very slight difference, not a considerable one. QM slightly larger at 157.
  7. Now that might have been a Cunard tradition people would have been happy to deviate from.
  8. Is this at extra cost? Lunch menu looked very nice. I hope we get it next week.
  9. But they always seem to be full of people, when I go in. Yes, I wondered if there might be at least some books in, say, the gift shop.
  10. I think this happens in all the ships. Luckily, we have enjoyed the owners of nearly all the adjacent tables, some admittedly more than others. But, if they are not congenial, you just have to say Good Morning and that is it. Indeed saying Good Morning when arriving at dinner is an especially effective way of avoiding unwanted conversation. 😀
  11. Yes, that is a point. Well, if I were on a cruise with my best friend, I wouldn’t want the beds together like that.
  12. You’d think some of them would look a bit happier.
  13. That inside cabin had two single beds together in the middle. Were they made up as a double, there would be slightly more from down the sides. Were they actually being used as two singles, they would probably be against the walls, leaving a larger space in the middle.
  14. As tonnage is a measurement of volume, don’t QM2’s very high ceilings on Decks 2 and 3 give an extra possibly illusory amount of spaciousness. After all, you can’t hover up there. However I must say she always does seem very spacious, except the lifts.
