I will experience it Sunday, my priority is good views on departure especially on fiords passages.

Emergency evacuation is paramount without lining up to swipe a card.
-

you should get your first look at QA on 23rd as you berth on QE2 terminal lwith QA on Mayflower either on arrival if lucky or if QA departs before QM2

I have no problem with the Liverpool connection given its unique place in Cunard history. But coming from a long standing seafaring family I much prefer the traditional.

Not unusual, ship has to turn in wind and set speed as dictated by helo,then evacuee has to be brought on deck and whichman decends, maybe short discussion with ship medical staff etc. At all times helo pilot is in charge and will only carry out operation when satisfied. He may well wait for rain squall to pass etc.

Ferries have pilot exemption for at least 2 deck officers,pilot station Wandelaar is 10 or so miles out. Forecast is 4 north winds up to f7 which blowing all way down NS may build up a fair swell. Also QM2 is restricted by the various shallows in the Schedlt. I once spent 3 days in the Anchorage waiting 4 a pilot on a much smaller ship than QM2.

There is usually a very small notice advising use of button in the DP but in reality it is rarely used as most appear to.use their arms to stop doors closing.
