Host Hattie Posted January 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Have a great time round the world on Queen Mary 2 and round South America on Queen Victoria. Hopefully the delay to QM2 won't dampen spirits too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare frantic36 Posted January 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Bon Voyage Everyone. Those on the World Cruise on QM2 please try to keep the ship in good order for when we board in Perth for our first cruise on her. Save some of that famous Pol Acker for me 😁.

Hopefully the delay to QM2 won't dampen spirits too much. I imagine for those raring to go, even an hour's delay is frustrating, but lots of days to enjoy after that. Am I alone in thinking that anything more than a couple of weeks is enough, even on the QM2? Perhaps my vision is being clouded by having xx amount of pets that need ++ care and attention.

Bon Voyage to all! No, you're not alone I couldn't do a world cruise either. The longest we have done is 16 days and that was enough for us. QM2 is just leaving now at 0.28am. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagporto Posted January 12, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Does anyone know of WC blogs this year? I antecipate that both safarigal and Roscoe will be posting their wonderful texts once they join their vessels (QM2 and QV, respectively, if I am not mistaken), but are there other ones I am not aware? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was listed in advance by Southampton Port for a midnight sailing, so whatever was the reason for not leaving during the usual afternoon spot wasn’t a surprise.

Why are they unhappy? Assuming they and their luggage are on board, the restaurants and bars are open, and they are off on a holiday of a lifetime. Why does it matter is she leaves a little late? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know. The ship was late due to more than one medical emergency. It had to call in at Halifax I think twice. And so was delayed quite a lot. Southampton VTS therefore had to change from 6pm departure to midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5LHR Posted January 12, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I am sure they will make up the 7 hour delay over the next 3 months or so. Something I would love to do, and maybe will at some point in the not too distant future... Only thing is, I don't think I could do it in an inside cabin, so will have to save a little longer to get a balcony or something at least in an ocean-view category... I hope all onboard have a wonderful time 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is true that a world cruise and sailing through different time zones and climates and all the excusions can be very tiring, depending on the itinerary I would not hesitate to do one again. I can always sleep afterwards 😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
