Countdown to Queen Mary 2
The Queen Mary will be arriving soon, combining the old and new.
Upon embarking QM2 and entering their suite or stateroom, passengers will receive a personalized welcome on their TV screen, and then will be prompted to enter a PIN code to access a host of features. The menu includes, but is not limited to, sending and receiving e-mail, viewing port information and signing up for sightseeing tours, ordering room service, ordering and viewing movies, setting wake-up calls, listening to music selections from the ship's library, browsing and making purchases from shipboard boutiques, viewing daily restaurant menus and ordering wine and reviewing their shipboard account.
Passengers will be able to see the stars of tomorrow today on Queen Mary 2. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), Britain's premier acting school, has agreed to provide a company of actors, who are graduates or students of RADA, to perform on QM2. RADA will also offer a variety of readings and workshops, including acting classes. Cunard's famous funnel: the funnel was installed on QM2 March 12, 2003. The remaining or top-most portion cannot be put in place until after the ship is floated out of its construction dock as the vessel would be too tall to clear the large gantry crane.
QM2 will also be the first ship to debut a "Chef's Galley," whereby guests are taught by the chef how to prepare their meal just prior to dining. Chef's Galley will be located in the ship's innovative Kings Court dining pavilion. (Source: Cunard Line, 13 Mar 2003)
