Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We sailed out of New York Jan 3, 2012 on the World Cruise. Cabins have been refurbished since the previous year but a lot of other changes that some newbies might not notice have taken place.
First as we know,there are 4 classes. Don't confuse those in the Queens Suites(1st class) Princess Suites (2nd class) Britannia Club (third class) and then the steerage passengers as all being equal.
The dining venue and quality of food is completely different. Not that the Britannia is bad just compare the grills with a Michelin star restaurant to a greasy spoon.But whether you are in a Queen's suite or down beside the anchor the public space is the same for everyone to enjoy.
Cabin Review
Balcony, sheltered
Cabin 4196 comfortable bed, enough closet and drawer space and satisfactory bathroom. Although over the Queens room we did not hear any noise. We were in a sheltered balcony by choice. Compared to the Q Victoria balcony room which has a much smaller shower and lacks drawer space except under the bed which is of no use to elderly people, the QM is a better choice. We have had rooms on B4, B5, B6 and eleven and the noise has not been a problem.
