SALAD MUNCHER Posted April 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have seen on my VP that on the QM2 voyage that meets up with the other two Queens in Liverpool that there is to be a 175 Ball on the first formal night. Does anyone have further info on the dress theme? For example there have been Black & White Balls, Ascot Balls, and Masked Balls, all quite clear on expectations. However 175 Ball ? Help!

We also have a 175 Ball on the second formal night on the 3rd May voyage. I believe the colour theme is black, red and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahucruiser Posted April 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That's exactly what I have seen in other posts in the past, red, black and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALAD MUNCHER Posted April 29, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Oh, I get it now - the colours of Cunard! Wish they would give more info on the VP in order guests know what to pack! Thanks for the replies. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted April 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's the ladies who will have to think about this ...for us guys ? ..well I've just found/bought a 'Gold pocket square' which I believe will look just the job with my black Tux. Not to sure if I'll go for a Red Bow ?.... don't really want to be mistaken for the Bingo Caller. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray66 Posted April 30, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2015 We also have a 175 Ball on the second formal night on the 3rd May voyage. I believe the colour theme is black, red and gold. Anybody on this 3rd May voyage needs to look at their inbox for an email from Cunard about changes to timings in Cobh and Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggiemou Posted April 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I think just a flash of your gold teeth will be fine : Or how about a gold lurex look. If it's good enough for Elton it should be good on the real queens ( ships). :D Then of course there is the gold on the roll you can buy and make yourselves some spectacular chains. How about hand to feet chains? Buy them with your OBS. You'll have plenty of change. Cheap as chips.:) Whatever you decide wear it well and have fun, fun, fun. :) Just jealous as I won't be there. ;) Edited April 30, 2015 by maggiemou add a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorCruisers Posted May 2, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 2, 2015 We've got two of these 175 balls on our two-week QV voyage in July. :eek: No doubt it is taboo to wear the same thing twice, even as a male! Will have to get searching for some items to add some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted May 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Just to say that not many people seemed to bother with a colour theme on the Lusitania cruise. Just a few women wearing red dresses and a few men wore a red bow tie. I also saw two women wearing red dresses on the black and white ball night.
