Guest Solent Richard Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yesterday I had the privilege to be invited as a 'host' on a Silver Travel' sponsored visit to Cunard's Queen Elizabeth in Southampton. There were around 40 prospective Cunard cruisers, none of whom had been on Cunard before. The team... A comprehensive tour of the ship was given and most areas were covered... The Royal Court Theatre The Spa The Winter Garden and a selection of bars, including... The Commodore Club The visit also included a viewing of a variety of staterooms ranging from a Queens Grill Suite... to an Inside Stateroom On completion of the tour which took around 2 hours there was an excellent lunch in the Britannia restaurant. Cunard organise many such visits and the initial feedback that i received from yesterday's visitors was that the day had been very worthwhile. wheels36, DavidH, Falmouthgirl and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Solent Richard Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Apart from answering many questions I was on a mission. Cunard had, since the last occasion I had sailed in the Grills, had fitted sun shades on the Grills Deck. Shaded areas had been a problem when we sailed to the caribbean on her a few years ago. All appears to have now been resolved... The permanent shades have now been fitted to both sides of the Grills Deck. My other mission was to check out the availability of books in the excellent two level library. While I was impressed with he variety the particular book I was interested in wasn't there though it was good to be reminded just how comprehensive the library stock is...

clare 23 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Good morning Richard. I was lucky enough to take part in a ship visit to Queen Elizabeth a couple of years ago. Enjoyed it very much. Only gripe was my son, then 13 wasn't allowerd to come onboard with me, even though there are children's clubs aboard so it is a family ship. I feel we must encourage the younger generation to appreciate such things as Cunard ! Clare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eyes12 82 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 i totally agree Clair the Cunard ships are so lovely and great for children but not everyone thinks that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sammy sun 1084 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 These kind of ship visits look great. Seems to give people a good opportunity to get a feel for what it's like on board a ship before they book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shame I wasn't aware as i would have asked the Cunard representative in charge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clare 23 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Good morning Richard. Regarding the children being allowed on the tours, perhaps you can have a word in an appropriate ear !! Clare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
