Sail Date: Oct 2013

Our recent trip on the Queen Mary 2 showed how over the last year we are not guests on a Cunard Ship, but merely another customer to be mined.

This was the third Cunard Cruise for my wife and me this year. We gave high marks to our Panama Canal and Baltic cruises on the Queen Elizabeth. I wish the same were true for our Fall Colors of New England and Canada Cruise on the Queen Mary 2.

Cunard insists on calling all of us passengers “guests” but you quickly learn on the QM2 you are merely a customer and hopefully a “cash cow” in the eyes of Cunard.

Cabin Review

The cabin was of average size. The balcony had what Cunard called a "protected view" meaning from the rail downward was solid (for Trans Atlantic crossing in rougher seas). The balcony, the bathroom and shower was much bigger than those on the Queen Elizabeth.
