QE2 virtual cabin plan (cabins occupied by Forum members)

[Waverley]

Good idea Myles.   Would it also be possible to add a deck plan for each deck.   Who has copies of the deck plans?

[Twynkle]

Hi Robert

Is this any help?

I seem to remember that the idea was discussed in the early days
probably now archived.
Does anyone else know where the posts might be?

Yes - I started a thread, and here it is:

Checked the previous links, so all we know is that

I was in stateroom 2009

Cunardqueen had 4003 and 3006

Peter Mugridge 5050

And finally Blue Bombay, crew cabins 503,404,406,414,416,419,421,423,425,6001,540,538,435,441,310,338,5246,5240,5007.

Need more.   Where were you?

[cunardqueen]

Waverely,
 Unless you know something l dont l havent had 4003, l have been entertained in 4003 but l doubt that counts, and  best if l leave that subject there. 4123 was my last  and of course 4028 my very first cabin. Long after the last views on NY faded in the distance or the storms on the high seas, its my first view of 4028 that is locked in the memory box.
 3006 l have had twice and loved it, as for the rest of the voyages l cant remember off the top of my head, the highest l got was One deck and the lowest was Five deck, but if you give me some time l will come back with the various numbers

Might it be an idea if we could add a photo to the cabin number with details of the grade etc and any cabin comments, or is this going to complicate matters and make for a very long thread.

I was in 5137 in august 2008. it is by looking through the porthole, so close to the waterline that you really got sense of the speed!

OK, this one is really going to throw a spanner in the works of the numbering system(and who better to throw the spanner than an engineer!)

In July 2008 my wife and I had Stateroom B2 (the foremost cabin on the Boat Deck, Port Side), but to fit in with the requirement that all suites must have 4 digits, we had to tell everyone we were in 9996. What we actually had was one of the Third Officer's cabins (after we had kicked him out down to a dog kennel on 5 Deck - parental privileges!).

Cheers

Myles, Did you prefer it with the curtain "Fake porthole" or without?

This is very like the cabin my Dad had to use in April 1987, splitting our family group up, after all the cabins on 5-deck were flooded.

[cunardqueen]

Well to be honest l didnt care for the art work in the last photo. But l did like having the curtain on the wall it gave me the impression that there could be a porthole behind there, But it did tend to make the cabin look a bit small, (heck it was small enough anyway) but everything and its location had been clearly thought out. And something l took for granted was that l had plenty of storage space and all the clothes could be hung in the wardrobe and the suitcases would fit under the bed. The pull out writting top was a great addition But all it lacked was a stool to sit on or perhaps a chair. In saying that anytime l did have a chair in  my cabin it was in the way and was used for putting stuff on. The full length mirror was a great touch as well. In fact everything about the cabins semed to have been well thought out.
 Early on during the start of each cruise  l used to have a good look round my cabin, puling out all the drawers, examining the wardrobe, under the bed, in the bathroom and each cabin had its own quirks
 3006 l found seemed to excell in the quirks department, so much so l had it twice.
