Love following along. Thanks for the menus and the pics. Must admit I am a fussy eater or rather have limited tastes and this is the first menu on your trip where I would not be able to chose. Don’t like lamb, fish or mushrooms! Not Cunard’s fault but rather mine. It would be Kings Court in for me with those choices but that’s okay! Really appreciate the time and effort you are putting in to this and allowing us to travel along with you!

There does not seem to be a lot of transatlantic crossings in 2026 (from my very quick analysis)

The Stefan Batory! Now that brings back memories. Sailed on her as a kid from London to Montreal. Bad storms, icebergs and sailing into Quebec City.

Yes, yes and yes. I had to cancel two trips. Once due to a sudden accident and once to sudden illness of my travelling partner. It covered the both of us. It was an easy one page document that the Doctor signed. In fact the Doctor was surprised at how easy the insurance document was. Then i fiilled out a form online with the voyage number and booking reference, uploaded the document the Doctor signed and a cheque arrived within three weeks. Very hassle free. Is Cunard Care expense. Perhaps. Insurance is always expensive if you don’t need it. Very cheap if you do need it.

Interesting question that I am grappling with. I have a 12 year old dog who has done 10 crossing and always loved it. We have a trip planned in the fall. The difficulty is that my dog has developed congestive heart failure but the vet (a canine cardiologist) says she is healthy enough to go. Complicating this, my dog has developed a tendency to faint (for lack of better word) if she gets overly excited or stressed or just out of the blue. Vet can’t pinpoint a reason. I will probably end up cancelling cause I don’t want to risk her health. Bad run of luck for me and the QM2: COVID, then had to cancel the past two years due to health problems in the human family and now the dog. My dogs always loved the kennels but I have seen dogs who have had a hard time. The kennel masters always take good care with the dogs and cats!

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Glad they did that. It is the right thing to do!

That really is an interesting question. I have taken the QM2 to England, vacationed and then travelled back. If they cancelled the journey to England then the return would be moot. For personal reasons I can not fly. Keep us posted as to what happens!
