I know a few of our members are sailing on this crossing, Bon Voyage.

There is a report on the crossing from Hello magazine

Thinner skinned Cunard travelers might object to the Queen Mary 2 being called a 'cruise' ship. She is an Ocean Liner! But no matter.

Fixed it !

FYI, I see from the just-released 2019 Cunard schedules that the 2019 Transatlantic Fashion Week voyage will be on an eastbound crossing from 28 July to 4 August, 2019 -- just in case anyone wants to start planning that far ahead!

Fixed it !

Thank you Hattie. You're a "Princess". We will reserve Queen for H.M., so "Princess" is next best.

As many of you know (due to the number of pre-cruise posts I made in breathless anticipation), I was on this cruise. My daughter and I will post a review in a week or so, but I couldn't wait to share a few essentials.

First, the fashion week offerings were, for the most part, delightful and merited the hype.

Second, our friend and frequent poster, Bell Boy, was on the cruise so we got to meet him in person. He is a delightful man and I am so pleased to have become acquainted with him.

A full review will follow in about a week, no doubt with pictures.

These theme crossings are a great idea. We were on the Blue Note Jazz crossing last fall and had a great time enjoying the wonderful music and other events. Truly special.

Nice to hear back from you Whirled Peas, I look forward to seeing your full review.

Excellent news Whirled Peas.

I have been following Bell Boy's full 'back to back' crossings over on Facebook with numerous superb photographs.

Well done you meeting up.
