I was in a sheltered balcony and had no problems at all. The only thing that was (a little) negative was that drinks ordered took forever to arrive (chart room, king’s court), I heard that they had a new system that had a few bugs. But that’s it!

No change of power outlets (the same old us and uk sockets only) in my sheltered balcony cabin, no usb added

It’s a larger hot tub but I think it’s been there for a while. The platform is at the other pool above

It’s nice indeed

New decoration for the pool (I believe)

I do 🙂

Hi there, FYI my loyalty tier has been updated from the incorrect "red" to the correct "platinum", but it hasn't changed the boarding time of 3PM

That's what I was afraid of, thank you. I had it corrected on cunard.com, then on mycunard.com as the two were strangely not linked, and have just asked them to re-issue our boarding passes (they were probably published before these corrections). I've also taken exlondoner's advice and suggested that for my son's sake, the sooner the better 😉 I'll keep you posted

I haven't yet, but I will now!

I wouldn't mind if it was a regular cruise TBH, but since this one is a very short 3 nights break (to introduce the QM2 to my 7yo son), every hour on board counts 🙂 This "loyalty tier: red" puzzles me though, I remember that new cruisers used to have a red stripe on their cards

I am also a platinum member, I have a sheltered balcony cabin on deck 4 (QM2) and I have been assigned 3PM for a final boarding time at 4PM. There's no mention of Platinum, or priority boarding, on my boarding pass, but "loyalty tier: red". I had to reach out to CWC because mycunard.com initially showed "no loyalty tier" (whereas the correct info was on cunard.com). They changed it but the boarding passes may have been issued before that. I haven't had a chance to cruise with Cunard these last years, but I do remember that the last time I did, being a Platinum member allowed to board the ship pretty early. Which was nice.

Thank you John, my reply above was sent just as you posted yours 🙂

Thank you very much! The sea-day-at-3-knots will be fun 🙂

Hi everybody, Do you know of a detailed cruises timetable available anywhere? I've booked the short "back from refit" QM2 cruise on November 16, and can't find the arrival time. It's supposed to return to Southampton from Bruges overnight (whereas the same distance outbound is a full sea day plus two nights). She's technically capable of getting back early in the morning, but I doubt very much that they'll burn that much fuel (although I'd love to see her go at full speed!). And this is important if you want to find a suitable flight home 😕
