Cruise

The Grand Lobby

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

It’s been such an insane week that I haven’t had the chance to post more QM2 pictures - I promised P.S. pictures of the grand lobby two weeks ago (I think).  I don’t have but a moment as the insanity continues and I’m not only working on a small amount of sleep, but I’ve got [...]

Gettin’ All Dolled Up

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Okay ~ so when I said I didn’t participate much in the activities aboard the Queen Mary 2, that was a correct statement.  But I did managed to make it out of my cabin long enough to attend the cocktail party with the Commodore and Senior Crew.
This little shin-dig was, as I found out, by [...]

Culinary Treats

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Even though there was plenty to do aboard the Queen Mary 2, I didn’t do any of it.  Not even dining in the Britannia Restaurant which is where my cabin dictated I eat.  Initially, I was just concerned about motion sickness (add to that an already-existing phobia I affectionately refer to as “pukephobia” [officially called [...]

Days At Sea

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

One of the things I discovered aboard the QM2 over the 5 full days at sea is that, as beautiful as the Atlantic Ocean is, and as stunningly opulent as the QM2 is, there are really so many pictures one can take of each.  Frankly, the ocean looks the same (unless it was storming, I’d [...]

Anchors Aweigh

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I last left you cliffhanging (or not) on my very first afternoon aboard the QM2 - as I mentioned, the afternoon, from the time I boarded until shortly before 4:00 pm, was spent holed up in my stateroom doing breathing exercises (*giggle*) and watching Music & Lyrics.
I know…of all the damn things to do aboard [...]

QM2 Report 1

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

I finally have my computer online, so I thought I might start my updates on the Atlantic crossing aboard the QM2.
My check-in time wasn’t until 1:30, but I was able to go ahead and check in - no one seemed to care much about my being early.  Only got one picture of the ship before [...]

Oh My How Time Flies

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already! This week has positively flown by and I have very little to show for it.
Seems like there’s never enough time to get everything done.
I did get the chance to laugh at myself this week, though, since I had my first real freak-out attack about going to Scotland [...]

All Aboard!

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I did something today I never thought I’d do.
I booked a cabin aboard the Queen Mary 2.
How incredibly cool is that?
Even though I’ve flown my entire life, I’m not a happy flier.  And since this trip to Scotland is really a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I wanted to do something a bit extravagant to celebrate.
And despite the [...]
