2DesertRats! Posted August 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I had read that there were fencing lessons available on the QM2. As a former foil and epee' fencer (along with a bit of Renaissance style) I was hoping the lessons were still available. Anyone know the answer?

Hi., just as a FYI if you are an experienced fencer, the lessons are very simple and basic, and not at all advanced. Most participants are first timers so you might find that you might have more experience and ability than the instructor who has only had the basics at a 3 days course. Its a great sport and the lessons on board very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2DesertRats! Posted August 16, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thank you all for the info. Roscoe39 appreciate the advice. I do have experience but its been more than 5 years since I fought regularly. More than a bit rusty and out of shape. Once again Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted August 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2018 They were on the schedule for the two sea days on the July 1, 5 day cruise. I didn't get there in time. I know for sure that at least one of the lessons occurred because I talked to the instructor at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
