Davidonaboat Posted February 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Peter Any plans on adding to the fleet? A new Queen perhaps! Would love to see a smaller vessel a ship that can take cunards loyal army of followers to smaller of the beaten track kind of ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vs8864 Posted February 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Are there any plans to refurbish the cabins and the carpets outside on the corridors as well as the Britannia Dining Room chairs on the Queen Mary? When we sailed Christmas they looked rather tired and "grubby" in places. Not as one would expect on the Queen Mary 2 or a five star hotel. Certianly not as glamorous as in your brochure or on your website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CABINET Posted February 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Actually the area that I think really lets the ship down is the buffet. What is the point of the tacky "sculpture/figures" dotted on top of the buffet counters and the naff murals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transatlantic fan Posted February 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The last refurb was Nov/Dec 2011 and before that 2008 so i would assume they will do something again late 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbird81 Posted February 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Does Cunard have plans or believe that the fleet will expand past the three current vessels you have now in the future, perhaps adding to them with new builds? Or is 3 a good number for Cunard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Shanks Posted February 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Some good questions about the size of our fleet and will we expand further thanks. Right now I believe 3 ships is the right size for Cunard - we are looking after 200,000 guests each year and we are able to offer a good variety of itineraries and destinations. I would loie to see us grow again in the future - after all we have built three new ships in the last 8 years and we have 'the youngest fleet in the world'. We do really look after the fleet - we refurbished every cabin on Queen Mary 2 just over a year ago. Yes - we will make sure we upkeep the corridor carpets - we have a rolling programme of this on all three ships. I will have another look at the statues mentioned in Kings Court - as our regular guests know the sheer size of Kings Court can make it quite difficult to navigate - but we work very hard with the team onboard to make it work. The trick is to wander round and spot what you may like, find yourself a table, and then go and get your food in stages. It dies settle down after the first couple of days. On sea days my recommendation is always to have breakfast and lunch in the main restaaurant - it is more relaxing , everything is served to you and I think it's better for you as well. Hope that covers the questions on this string. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
