So there will be at least the two of us as I also booked for the 11th july 2004 sailing to Scotland, Norway, Germany and Holland. Originaly this sailing was 14 nights but due to the Olympic charter the duration now is only 11 nights. Trondheim and Oslo were removed from the schedule.

Great Chris! I was wondering what kind of room you got and around how much did it cost? We got a few cruise ideas in mind and I am trying to see if I should ask my parents to book on the July 1st sailing to nowhere...

We got the Atrium inside suites at 20% off for early booking. Apparently there are very few cabins left in the "D" grade.

There are still cabins available on many of the QM2's cruises, if you are prepared to be flexible about the grade (cost).

On cruise ships the cheapest and most expensive sell-out first, leaving the middle grades to sell last.
