"Looking smart" is subjective. The time, money and effort it would take to dress up is simply something in which I have no interest. I am not being critical of those that get a kick out of such things, it is just not me.

 

Therein lies the rub. Most of the passengers on Cunard do spend the time, money and effort to look befitting of the environment and appreciate others who respectfully do the same.

There are well established and published guidelines pertaining to dress for men and women for all occasions and environments. Debrett's Guide to Etiquette and Modern Manners being one of the most recognized references.

My wife and I just crossed to NY on the QM2. We are in our early 50's and were definitely on the low end as far as age of passengers. There are plenty of activities and special events during the day and evening but all pretty commensurate with an older age group. We had a great time and look forward to our next voyage with Cunard.

Wife and I just crossed on the QM2 from Southampton to NY. For evening wear I took a tux and 3 suits. My wife had 8 gowns/dresses. There were 4 formal and 4 informal nights. Additionally, neither of us brought blue jeans or shorts. It was nice to be in an environment where most everyone dressed well. I noticed only one person whose attire probably would have been more appropriate on another ship and coincidentally he tried to order a beer from the champagne server during afternoon tea.

Thanks Fishywood!

My wife and I will be sailing from Southampton to NY on the QM2. We will be flying out of Laguardia and would like to take the earliest flight possible.

What would be a safe time to book for our flight departure?

thanks
