Julie Jean Posted January 11, 2018 #51 Share Posted January 11, 2018 No fireworks last night :( As of 8am this morning, she still hasn't left and no word from the Captain. Last night all guests were told to be onboard by 6am this morning. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggiemou Posted January 11, 2018 #54 Share Posted January 11, 2018 We have just returned from the QM2 where we were onboard for just short of a month. The EB return from New York was pretty amazing as the storm gave us some spectacular waves and the motion of the ocean swayed us somewhat, but it was not an uncomfortable crossing at all. In fact, it was quite exhilarating and exciting having the two gas turbines fired up to get us up to speeds of 27 knots and I believe one time we touched 28 knots. Seeing the steam coming out just below the funnels was a different sight. Unfortunately, there were a lot of ill people, not with seasickness but with a cough and cold that almost everyone I met had it. There were some good moments on this cruise but some things were not to Cunard standards, but you can't win them all. I would not take this Christmas cruise again.

maggiemou Posted January 12, 2018 #56 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Would be interesting if you elaborated . I could well do so Pennbank, but this thread is about the weather conditions and I do not want to moan about things as it is not my style to do that. However, will just make one comment which was something many people found strange. There were no hot canape's served all cruise. Only nuts, olives, popcorn and pork scratchings! Not the elegant style we are used to seeing in the Commodore on an evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found that strange myself when I was onboard not so long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
