Hello from Aboard QM2

[Jacyn Wade]

Hello everyone,

I've missed you all for a few days but it's Friday night and I'm posting from the Internet room on Deck 2 of QM2. The grand lady is gently rolling and it's a misty foggy night, but she's beautiful and I'm literally in seventh heaven!!

It poured rain as we sailed under the bridge out of New York but I managed to get a few snapshots and will post shortly. Met another seafarer this evening at dinner, Peter who sailed with Cunard until 1959 - knows Brian.

I'm trying to be a good daughter of a seafaring family and not get seasick but I suppose it'll take a little getting used to, this slow roll.

Will hopefully post more in the next few days.

Cheers,
Jacyn

You lucky little Devil!
I bet you are in seventh heaven now,all that grandeur and luxury,its not something that most of can do a lot of,so just relax and take in all you can!
I am sure you will soon get your Sealegs and also overcome any sea Sickness you may have been experiencing!
Will look forward to the Pics when you get the time!
Have a great trip there and we will hear from you again on your return!
How long was the trip again!?
Take Care and be Good! As if! LOL

Jaycyn enjoy the voyage and have agreat time. But do be careful, some of the officers take a fancy to young ladies and you know where thta can lead to!

Have a good trip and glad you finally made it onboard, I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of undivided attention even though you may not know it, be careful of engineers they'll promise the world and as soon as you show them a nut and bolt they'll desert you, better stick to navigators at least they know where they are going (well most of the time!). Anyway my dear have a good trip with smooth sailing and fair winds and the weather for your arrival is forecast to be fine. Bon Voyage

Hi Jacyn,
enjoy the QM2, most magnificent ship in the world. I did the maiden voyage on her and the first Cape Horn voyage from Florida to LA on her. six weeks. Give my regards to Peter, get a photo if possible.
Try the Planetarium and fly through the stars and planets, the only one at sea.
and enjoy.
Cheers
Brian.

Thanks all for the well wishes. I'm finding my sea legs now, although the gin & tonics (gins & tonic, gins & tonics???) probably don't help much!

Brian, I'll pass on your hello to Peter and try to get a photo. Looking forward to the planetarium too.

Got some great shots of the funnel this morning and a look at the bridge. Oh yes, before I forget, I just happened to glance over the side yesterday and was lucky enough to see the pilot climb down the side and into the pilot's boat after we were out of New York. He even waved!

Must be off now and find dear mum and see what trouble we can get into...

Cheers!

Hi Jacyn ,
glad you are finding your sea legs.
Now you know why we all went seafaring, what a great life it was or is.
Hope you find your Mum tell her to keep away from Engineers,
Enjoy the wonderful experience of QM2. Who is the Captain and Staff Captain this time.?
Cheers
Brian.
