Saab4444 Posted May 10 #326 Share Posted May 10 1 hour ago, buchanan101 said: I thought I saw a hot tub on the forward deck in the video of the ship arriving in Southampton, and it seems that the model has it (from Dom and Tom's review) and it looks like an open terrace area Is this properly accessible (seems like Deck 5 according to ship plans, and it's only by two standard QGs). The model shows two doors lined up with the end of the main corridor. Looks a cool place to sit This a Crew area indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saab4444 Posted May 10 #328 Share Posted May 10 But does anyone know if you can walk outside in the front on deck 6 or 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_london Posted May 10 #330 Share Posted May 10 Was looking at future cruises and surprised by the availability for the QA as my next is not until nextt year in Grills. Did a quick check, found of the 70 sold out cruises listed on the Cunard website only 4 QA voyages are sold out. I thought a new ship would be sold out or is it the itineraries are the "usual" European cruises and just less popular? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that comparable between ships? Lots of sold out cruises overall though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tacticalbanjo Posted May 10 #332 Share Posted May 10 Judging by the number of crew and contractors traipsing past my stateroom stinking of smoke, that outdoor area is accessible by deck 4. They weren’t always great at shutting the door behind them and consequently the corridor often smelt strongly of smoke. Even woke up to it in our stateroom last night at about 4am. Yes, I did complain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though looks like Cunard issue video with 3rd party commentary Thank you for posting this. QA looks and feels like a celebrity/Princess product in this video. I’m glad that Cunard built a different ship to enter that market. I hope they do well. However for me, that’s not why I choose Cunard so I’ll be continuing to monitor the feel, ambiance & clientele the QA attracts. I have 21 days booked on QA in 2026 but am looking at alternatives on the other queens as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted May 11 #334 Share Posted May 11 I am not sure if my question is already answered- well here it is anyway- the littel Specialities in the Carintha Lounge still free as on board QM2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheese was $2.50 for a portion equivalent to canapes for 2. The oysters were $2.50 each. Perhaps part of the reason there are no free canapes in the Commodore Club, if they're charging for them elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david,Mississauga Posted May 12 #341 Share Posted May 12 I have read everything posted here about the QA (and hope I didn't miss anything) and watched several videos on that well-known site but I would like to ask two questions. Regarding the bathtubs in QG, they do not appear to be whirlpool tubs as on the other ships. Have I missed seeing the jets in the pictures? Are there real computers that passengers can use? I am not going to haul my laptop around and sending e-mails on my small tablet is too difficult. Thanks in advance for any assistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted May 13 #342 Share Posted May 13 We haven’t got a whirlpool bath but we have the most amazing shower set up but not sure if it’s the same across all QG cabins. Same for the hair dryer. Ours is a Dyson which as a brand, is far superior to mine at home. Whether it’s better than mine for the very significant extra cost, jury is out after just one trial but as a cabin hair dryer, it’s fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have missed them, but so far I haven't seen computers for guest use. There are 2 nice looking desks in the library, but no computers on them.

wetterthanwater Posted May 15 #345 Share Posted May 15 Given the bathrooms are identical to those on the HA Pinnacle ships, they need to keep on top of the grouting on the plastic tiles. It looked awful on Koningsdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pear Carr Posted May 15 #347 Share Posted May 15 Just read a very negative review on CC by someone who is currently on QA. I have mixed feelings about boarding in July but will try to go with an open mind and embrace the difference. I hope some others from the maiden and current voyage will post reviews/impressions.

I've not seen anything but positive comments on the boards I have no mixed feelings for June - looking forward very much to it where are these reviews as there isn't any section for Queen Anne yet?

The thing is you could ask 20 different people and get 20 different reviews. I had my first "cruise" on QM2 at the weekend, and on QV in January. I much preferred the feel of QV, however slaughtered I might get for saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pear Carr Posted May 15 #350 Share Posted May 15 There are lots of ‘Cunarders’ who prefer QV - I like her Queens Room and Commodore Club but prefer QM2 overall, especially the Chart Room and Golden Lion and of course the promenade deck. I am not liking the look of the Queens Room or the promenade deck on QA but will reserve judgement on the rest and hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
