You didn’t say that and I did not assume it was the case.
-
Certainly the food is one of the reasons I go on Cunard, and I have never felt I have been treated like an animal. Perhaps my standards are too low to be worthy of mention, but I don’t think you should assume what others might do.
-
It is indeed most important to avoid misapprehensions, as about cabin size, or the rather bizarre idea there is a class system on Cunard, whatever that may be.
-
Some of them are. But surely even a moron in a hurry would realise there might be some differences between a Q1 and a Q6, given the different names?
-
I would never dream of doing anything else, helped by the brochure which has helpful pictures of nearly all categories. Why would anyone not?
-
You never know, he might change his feelings about travelling after the cruise.
-
Undoubtedly true, but what does that tell us about QG?
-
I think that is the point V2 was making. But isn’t that the same on other lines? Most suites on RSS aren’t 1,000 sq ft.
-
I would guess they don’t care too much where they go. 🙂
-
Never set foot in one on Cunard, but from the pics they too seem rather nice.
-
RSS seem to have some very large cabins, but again not so many, rather like QG on Cunard.
-
Aren’t you contradicting yourself? Isn’t 2,249 bigger than 2,000?
-
Most Crystal cabins appear to be less than 500 sq ft. from an admittedly very cursory look.
-
I’m sure many world cruises are indeed once in a life time. But Cunard do have an awful lot of repeat passengers, so it would be nice if on shorter cruises they could come up with a few new ports. QE has just been in Naples, but how often does that appear on a cruise starting at Southampton, for instance?
-
I think Rotterdam is great too. Lots of interesting modern architecture, a wonderful modern market and station, some good museums, and you can also visit the namesake ship.
-
QM2 really does seem to be treated like a Queen when she is in Hamburg. It is a shame she can no longer dock at Hafencity, where she was so much more visible.
-
I expect it is made rather easier by the fact that transit passengers do not have to disembark in Hamburg unless they want, and there are probably quite a few of those.
-
How discomforting.
-
Perhaps you should have asked? I do remember that they all became very neurotic after a fire which started on a Princess ship balcony. Perhaps they gave up on the CCTV when they installed smoke detectors, which would make sense. Or they could be monitored from somewhere else.
-
And there is along the outside so the bridge can see whether the balconies are on fire.
-
On a serious note, does CCTV make anyone feel safer? It certainly has the opposite effect on me.
-
Wonderful cruise terminal. Apropos of nothing, the last time Vesuvius erupted was the day after my father went up it. Obviously a dangerous man.
-
Hamburg always seems surprisingly disorganised at the best of times, so no doubt there will be some degree of chaos at disembarkation and embarkation, little of which will be Cunard’s fault, all of which they will get blamed for. 🙂
-
Surely someone with that approach is just as likely to be a historian.
-
But it must be said, to judge by this board, that a microscopic proportion of Cunard’s potential passengers live within throwing distance of the Med. And those of us who don’t might enjoy a little more variety.
