What's your 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule?

[bluemarble]

It looks like Cunard have started posting the dress code and theme schedules for 2024 voyages. One again this year I'd like to take on the project of compiling master dress code and theme schedule documents for each of the Cunard ships. To do so, I'm going to need your help to tell me what you are seeing for the dress code and themes on your 2024 voyages. You should be able to see that now within the Day Calendar section of your voyage in My Cunard.

 

If you are booked on a 2024 voyage, please let me know which ship you will be on, the dates of your voyage, which dates are scheduled as Gala Evenings and what the themes (if any) will be on those Gala Evenings. To illustrate, I'll start with what I've learned so far. Please post what you are seeing for your 2024 voyages in a reply to this thread.

 

From @maggielou362:

 

QM2, Feb 17-Feb 27, 2024 (voyage M405, Fremantle to Sydney)

Feb 18: Black and White

Feb 22: Gala Evening (no theme)

Feb 25: Roaring Twenties

 

From my voyages:

 

QM2, June 15-June 23, 2024 (voyage M417, Eastbound Crossing)

June 16: Black and White

June 21: Roaring Twenties

 

QM2, June 23-June 29, 2024 (voyage M418, Westbound Crossing)

June 24: Red and Gold

June 27: Masquerade

 

Just as an aside, I see they've changed the standard schedule for QM2 crossings from previous years on my two crossings. The first gala evening used to be Red and Gold on eastbound crossings and the first gala evening used to be Black & White on westbound crossings. They've switched those themes around on my two June 2024 crossings. It will be interesting to learn if that same pattern holds for the other 2024 crossings as well.

I wonder if they have posted any of the QA dress code and theme schedules yet. I have a QA booking but not until 2025. Is anyone on a 2024 QA voyage seeing their dress code and theme schedules in My Cunard?

We are on her second voyage, and there was no info when I looked this morning.

This helps confirm they are changing the pattern for the themes on QM2 crossings next year. It used to be Red & Gold and Roaring Twenties on eastbound crossings with Black & White and Masquerade on westbound crossings. The reply I received from @BWV shows their schedule as Black & White and Roaring Twenties on a westbound crossing as well. Perhaps my June roundtrip crossing is just an anomaly with those themes reversed (Black & White and Roaring Twenties eastbound and Red & Gold and Masquerade westbound). Time will tell I suppose as I receive more input from others about their crossings.

Time is over due for Cunard to introduce new Gala Evening Themes  ! 

Enough of this Roaring 20's nonsense , just an excuse for some gentlemen to bring down the dressing up box from the loft. Trilby hats and the Gangster look is childish and  ridiculous, how about   "Red Carpet & Hollywood Glam" .

That's a standard feature. They have to put something in the field.

[Pushpit]

I have several short hops SOU-HAM which agree with the posts above, with the comment that

 

QM2 May 14-May 16, 2024 (Voyage M412A Hamburg - Southampton)

has no formal night.

 

In addition

QM2 August 4-August 6, 2024 (Voyage M423C Southampton - Hamburg)

August 5 Gala Evening (no theme) (optional)

 

QE October 16-October 18, 2024 (Voyage Q430E Melbourne - Sydney)

Dress code will be shown later

Plus in all likelihood your disembarkation day will be a Smart Attire evening for the next cruise. They are probably populating that field with the scheduled dress code for that date even though you won't be on board that evening.

Could I ask you to please double-check the date of your first gala evening? I was expecting that first Black and White gala evening to be on July 22, the second evening of your crossing (which is how it's usually scheduled), not the third evening, especially since yours is one of the shortened 6-night crossings.

[esrs]

I think M422 is Westbound,  not Eastbound?

[woldridge]

OK, second attempt:

QM2, July 21-July 27, 2024 (voyage M422, Westbound Crossing)

July 22: Black and White

July 25: Roaring Twenties

 

Thanks for the corrections!

That's very interesting that they've posted some of the 2025 dress code schedules already. Your voyage does appear to be a bit sparse on the gala evenings with only two instead of the more typical three for a 14-night voyage. Will want to see if that's going to be the trend toward fewer gala evenings during 2025.
