Yes, bagpipes. In planning for my first trip on the QM2 this June I was reading the FAQ and see specific rules about bagpipes. It may be smart that Cunard addresses the issue, but also kind of amusing. Since I cannot play them, no prob, but are bagpipers known to be a problem?
Ever since the incident in 1927 there have been no bagpipes allowed in staterooms.
But allowed everywhere else?
A lot of people say the decline of the Transatlantic ocean liner era dates back to this situation. It had ripple effects beyond what you might at first imagine.
To get an answer I think you would need to contact Cunard directly and ask them. If that doesn't get any traction try contacting some of the cruise youtubers - maybe Gary Bembridge or Emma Cruises.
Maybe they just get a LOT of bagpipe issues because they have more scottish people cruising and bagpipes are LOUD? It really is funny it's specifically called out though.
haha.. I usually encounter some Scottish folks on my trips. It is quite funny that bagpipes are specifically called out.
Have you ever seen a bagpipe on a cruise? lol
Nope. It's so random.
