Nothing to fault! So much choice of dining, where to go and what to do on the ship, so much choice of activity and entertainment; you could dress up or just swan around elegant casual; so many people were so friendly that anyone could find like-people to socialise with - depending on one's choice of activity.
But the most praiseworthy part was the attitude of the staff, crew and ship's company without exception; with the selection and recruitment process of Cunard comes a training and expectation that this is a first class vessel and the guests must be treated all the same with the highest of standards. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful that everything was a joy and everyone was happy.
Alcohol and spirits were to pay for. Apart from that there was a 24 hour buffet with a vast selection of soft drinks and hot drinks. Room service of a small menu and tea and coffee was also available 24 hours at no extra charge. We ate the most delicious, well-over-6 oz. sirloin steak with salad brought to our cabin and burgers were also available in room service and accompaniments, juices, teac and coffee. We also ordered breakfast in bed on a couple of mornings and it was a full hotel breakfast brought in by a uniformed silver service waiter - it was all so 'proper'.
6148 - aft but nearest midships side. On Transatlantic to Southampton this is not the side to take advantage of any sunny weather, sunsets or sunrises as it is Port Side.
But otherwise a very good location - nearest the 'aft' lifts but round a corner and not affected by noise or passage of passengers - at a very spacious corner of the corridor before turning a corner to the slightly better balcony cabins in midships location. (ie. room to put down used trays - or to place luggage when disembarking). Also well positioned as regards the rolling and movement of the ship - think of the ship like a see-saw and the steadiest place is nearest the middle - so choose your cabin! As all balcony cabins are much the same - this was a very pleasant cabin and well located; also it was closest the 24 hour buffet 3 decks above - so for all one's needs - it was just 2 minutes' away from food and drink 24 hours a day!!! I would recommend this cabinas being ideal!
