bondgirl007 Posted October 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Happy Wednesday! Does anyone have any tips, tricks, secrets about QE? We are sailing in January on our 1st Cunard cruise. Are there best spots for reading, people watching etc. Any food or drinks that are not to be missed? Any "secret" decks? Any info along these lines is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Lanky Lad Posted October 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The best place to sit and read, or people watch is the Queens Arcade. This is on the passage between the grand lobby and the golden lion pub / casino. I like to sit there in the morning with the crossword and in the evening before heading for the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmike911 Posted October 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2018 When you first board inquire go to the Purser and ask about renting a box, complete with snacks and Champagne in the Royal Court Theatre during a formal night. It's a very special experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohl57 Posted October 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Promenade Deck.. especially first thing in the morning on a day at sea. It's much closer to the ocean than on QM2 and you get the spray, the salt and the feel of really being at sea. The sunrises can be spectacular, too. Three laps and a coffee in the Cafe Carinthia afterwards is a great way to start the day. And the classic walkaround promenade deck seems to be a feature we won't be getting in future Cunarders. So revel in it whilst you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGreenhills Posted October 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2018 My husband and I enjoy sitting in the library at the window seats, very quiet. Or else you'll find us doing the jigsaws just outside of the library. We've done the theatre box on a couple of occasions. The glass is OK during the shows but if you sit there and a speaker is using a powerpoint then the reflections can get a bit annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
