Queen Victoria - World Cruise 2008

[KenC]

Anyone going on any of the new Queen's world cruise segments??? Phill and I are on the NYC to LA trip sailing Jan 13. Space is supposed to be selling fast so hopefully some of you out there have already booked. It would be good to have some FOD meetings during the trip. Anyone lucky enough to be booked for the whole thing???

[Darrell6t]

My partner and I are signed up for the NYC to LA segment also. It will be our first time traveling with Pied Piper. And, of course, our first time on the Queen Victoria. This cruise will have so many sea days that I hope Cunard has plenty of interesting activities planned.

Hi Darrell

 

Didn't realise Pied Piper had a group on board - any idea how big it is??

I have no idea about the size of the Pied Piper group. I hope it is big enough for some great private events. We have never traveled with them before and have heard mixed opinions about the job they do.

 

We are taking the RSVP charter of the QM2 in a few months. We are also looking forward to that.

[KenC]

We're hoping there is a decent sized Pied Piper group - should make things more 'fun'. On the maiden voyage of QM2 there was a large PP group and we socialised with many of them and had a ball.

 

Can't quite believe that RSVP have chartered QM2 for a crossing - that is going to be some trip!!!

My partner and I will also be on the NY to LA portion of this cruise. We also booked through PP so will look forward to meeting you at their first party.

Hi Jack

 

unfortunately we are not part of the PP group - though hopefully you guys will be kicking off FOD activities all over the ship ;)

aw shux...thanks...bout time i changed it.

did ny to la last year on the Qe2., you guys will have a great time. Going through the canal has to be one of my travelling highlights.

[KenC]

Have done Acapulco to Barbados through the canal last year on Arcadia (QV1) so it will be interesting to do it the other way on the real QV. Can't say I am a fan of QE2 though - found her very over rated.

 

Not sure about the new avatar - my eyesight's not that good!!! Was expecting you in speedos at least ;)

[roscoe39]

i know what you are saying about the QE2., I think she is a great ship but for a longer trip I am looking forward to the more modern technology of the QV., long live all the queens....

hahahahahaha......haha...lol....

[KenC]

Roscoe .... what's that hanging round your neck big boy :D

 

Maybe it's a good job we're not on the same segment - I might be tempted to become your stalker :eek:

 

Ken;)

[roscoe39]

well you did ask for a speedo shot...the only one I had was from the games where i was given some little yellow coloured token thingy for being able to outswim all the other oldies..... the pic was for my mother!

[KenC]

... and your mother should be proud ;)

 

As you can tell I am a very shallow person - even more impressed with the speedo shot because you've got a gong around your neck !!!

 

Are you sure you're not coming through the Panama Canal with us :D

 

Cheers

You sound like me in my heyday!!!

 

Actually, I'm sure you are charm personified and pardoned wherever you go ;)

 

Is anyone else coming on this maiden transit of the Canal???

 

Ken ;)

 

PS - best we keep that speedo shot to ourselves now ;)

[KenC]

4 Pied Pipers and 2 independents - c'mon guys there must be some more sailing Queen Victoria through the Panama Canal??

[Hobie]

I would like to do this cruise but it looks pretty expensive. I geuss that I should check to see what kind of discount I can get since I am a member of the World Club. Looks like a great 17 day cruise!

[KenC]

Hi Hobie

 

prices aren't too bad ... for Cunard .... they were doing an extra 5% off for World Club when we booked, but not sure if they are still offering it. Don't think there's much left on this segment - unless Pied Piper have some space still.

 

Don't we have a mutual friend in Dan Tobey???

 

Cheers

 

Ken

[KenC]

Hey Hobie - did you book???

 

Anyone else coming???

 

Ken

[Hobie]

Ken,

Thanks for thinking of me. No. I haven't booked the cruise yet. I can't find anybody who wants to go with me! I'm going to check with Pied Piper to see if they still have space.
