As a first time cruiser on the Queen Mary 2 we looked forward with high expectations to the cruise from Dubai to Singapore late January through early February. We were disappointed.

It started badly with a 2 ½ hour check in at Dubai. We unfortunately arrived dockside just minutes after what seemed like 1500 or so other passengers arrived on buses. Begs the question why buses are not designated check in time same as individuals. The 2 lines meandered outside the terminal to just get through the security. Then the wait to proceed to the Cunard check in, hand over passports, give credit cards details, obtain on board identity cards and at last pointed in the direction of the ship and boarding. Took another few minutes to find the way but finally we walked the red carpet and on board. No welcome, no meet and greet, just find your own way to the elevators with other slightly bemused passengers all working their way to find their respective cabins.

Not a good start but with the excitement of being on board the fabled Queen Mary 2 the rest of the cruise could only get better, one lived in hope.
