I'm surprised that you haven't any photos for us . By the way, are these 'so called new cabins' at a premium .   

I don't have any photos for these so called cabins as you put it.

The steward was kind enough to show us, and I had no intention of getting him in any trouble by putting them on here.

Forgot to say the new rooms also have the very nice glass shower bathrooms. 

You can also tell the new rooms as the stateroom doors are a matt wood.

The new rooms are 8116 to 8130.

The steward showed me the rooms that were being used by the workers onboard. 

Very nice they are, we swapped our next four cruises to these while we were onboard.

Hope this helps.

It all seems to have been put back in its original condition. I think the affected staterooms are occupied this week (there was a mobility device outside one of them, which suggested the room was occupied).

All in the same position , but all new staterooms like those on deck 13.

Each room  does now have a wi fi hot spot in,and is much faster than before.

We were also on this short trip.

All of my now 49 cruises have been with Cunard and this was by far the worst for service.

Main dining room food was luke warm at best, and the food choices are now very small compared to how they once were.

King's Court seemed to be fine.

Had a drink in casino and chart room and both didn't taste great like the glasses still had some kind of detergent in them,asked my wife to taste it and she said the same.

They seemed to of got rid of my favourite drink London pride in most bars.

Did I know it may be a bit of a trial run..yes..was it ..yes ,will I go again ..yes, but things need to improve going forward.

Our steward on deck 8 was great and had no problems. 

Deck  8 new carpet, Bathroom still has shower curtain.

Yep. They will be flooding the dock soon and getting her reloaded and provisioned so she can make her date to return to service. 

As long as they don't forget my London Pride for Thursday evening..

Does anybody know if the world club party's are back now for longer cruises?

Many thanks.

If she is on time I will be able to share some inside photos as soon as we are onboard having everything crossed for the 16th. 

We are also looking forward to being on the first trip...we were on the first cruise after the remastering from Hamburg in 2016.

We have now been moved, same location but starboard side.

They expect those cabins to be out of action for another month.

Cunard have just called me telling us the aft cabins on deck 8 are not now available due to essential maintenance for the 16th November short cruise.

Are looking at trying to upgrade us. But are trying to stick us in BC on deck 12 forward with adjoining doors.

Will update when I know more

Please post some pictures and thoughts on the refit when you're on QM2.  Thanks.

I will do my best, just seen your also doing the Qm2 to the Caribbean next November like us.

I'm back on for the first cruise on the 16th November after the refit, so will have a good look round her to see what they have done.

Now over 50 mbps

Currently have 23 MBPS Download, fast enough to stream YouTube and netflix using a fire stick.

Still not had ours installed yet ,but can say it's already the fastest speed I have had on any cunard ship in over 50 cruises, using my phone as a hotspot and 3 devices connected. 

May not be today just sometime during this cruise.

Not as yet , will try it when they have fitted ours and update.

We are on the QV 4 day cruise.

In todays programme it states all staterooms will today be fitted with a new wi fi hot spot , and should take around 15 minutes. 

We always do the first cruise on Qm2 after any refit , just to see what's new.

Hope the wi fi in room is true.

Guess we will find out in November. 

How about a top tier called Commodore 30 voyages or 300 Nights
