Yes, that's your Arrival time. It's unlikely to change once you've checked in.

This post suggests a smaller allowance on a short cruise.

A quick Britannia Club question:

 

We'll be on QA in a Club cabin for the June 30-July 14 sailing. Can we expect the Club restaurant to be open for lunch on embarkation day?

No, usually only the Grills are open on embarkation day.

Gee, when I started this topic all I wanted was a pin, and a discount on internet 😆

Thank goodness it wasn't something really controversial like tipping or dress code 🤦‍♀️

.....and the outbound flight is from Gatwick (TUI) and the return flight is to Heathrow (BA). Thanks a bunch Cunard!

So don't plan on using your car to get to and from the airport for the flights. 

Which sailing is this for ?

I have moved the general discussion about the ship to this thread

Thanks for the updates, enjoy your day in Vigo.

It has worked until fairly recently, there were some broken seats but the breakdown of the planetarium hasn't been going on for years.

It was first reported here last month 

From the Terms and Conditions 

 The Beers, Wines & Spirits Option may be pre-purchased up to four days prior to boarding the vessel and is offered onboard on the first 2 days of your voyage. 

How lovely, have a great trip 

Sounds like this is a reincarnation!

We now have Captain David Hudson and Entertainment Director Micahel Harvey. Are they new to Cunard, or just Queen Anne?

David Hudson has been with Cunard since 2006 apparently but it sounds as if he's been on Queen Elizabeth recently.

I'm so sorry to hear that someone's cruise ended so badly. Thanks for letting us know how disembarkation went in these difficult circumstances.

Safe journey to those still travelling, especially @safarigalwho has kept us up to date since the maiden voyage!

Bon Voyage @MylesS, I'm looking forward to reading your reports. 

Welcome back everyone, thanks again for all  the reports on this very interesting cruise. 

I hope disembarkation isn't too painful this morning and I look forward to reading your final thoughts. 

The obstructed view for 8017 will be very similar to the one shown for 8018.

Thanks for your reports and photos from Cobh, enjoy your sea day tomorrow. 

Congratulations on your successful bid.

I'm not sure what you're asking me to do.

What is the best restaurant on the Queen Elizabeth?  I am looking to celebrate my 80th birthday in November.

Have you already booked your cruise?

@new to cuising gorgeous photos, thank you very much for sharing them. 

@Mareblu wow, I don't quite know what to say. Hopefully things are calmer this evening.

I sat at a table of 6 for breakfast, all complaining.  Sat through two talks in the theatre, two different people sat next to me, both unhappy with the Godparent and telling me this isn't a real Chnard ship.  Well the outside paint job and the Cunard name emblazoned on her seems to indicate they may just be a little misguided in their belief ...

 

Even queuing to buy Celia Imrie's book someone announced we'll.no doubt she has to earn her goodie bag.  Goodness me, perhaps the late night has made them so grumpy but really ...

I love the fact that people book a ship that's been well advertised will be different and then complain when it is in fact different!

I hope you can find some more positive company for the rest of the say.

Thanks again for all your photos and commentary yesterday. 

This live report from 2022 includes an NSO crossing 

I've no idea what drinks they ordered but we drink wine by the bottle and often carry over a bottle to the following evening. That definitely reduces the wait on a busy night for Sommeliers. 

Great photos, thanks for posting @Megabear2
