FINAL DAY (DAY 6): GETTING OFF THE SHIP IN SOUTHAMPTON There is not a lot to say! We woke up at 6am as we were due to dock around 6.30am. I had a really sore throat so had not slept as well as I would like to have. We finished off the final packing and popped down to the QG restaurant for a quick breakfast. By the time we went back to our cabin, they were announcing that

FULL DAY 5 OF THE TRANSATLANTIC CROSSING ON THE QUEEN MARY 2 (SUNDAY 19 APRIL 2009) Annoyingly my throat was very sore overnight. But hopefully the antibiotics will kick in during the day today. We woke to a much quieter wind and much calmer seas today. It is still quite overcast but dramatically less blowy. The problem with being on board is about 2 days before the end of any trip

FULL DAY 4 OF THE TRANSATLANTIC CROSSING ON THE QUEEN MARY 2 (SATURDAY 18 APRIL 2009) I had been feeling a bit fuzzy in the head last night and woke up during the night with the feeling I had razor blades in my throat. Now annoying. Luckily being on a huge ocean liner, I was able to pop down and see the doctor in the Medical Centre. The sisters and doctor were really friendly and chatty

DAY 2 OF THE TRANSATLANTIC CROSSING ON THE QUEEN MARY 2 (THURSDAY 17 APRIL 2009) The thing with doing the crossing, which is part of the point and why for years the Cunard slogan used to about “getting there is the fun”, is that there is not a lot to report, as the days are relaxing, paced and so relaxing. Well, that is how we play it. I do not know why, but when on a crossing we

WEDNESDAY 16 APRIL 2009: DAY ONE OF THE QM2 CROSSING 12 NOON Soon after setting off from Brooklyn yesterday evening and before we passed under the Verrazano Bridge, the Captain advised that due to a medical issue we would need to let a passenger off.
