I have just completed two transatlantic crossings. The first NYC to SOU on Sept 4th and the return SOU to NYC on Sept 20th. Two words describes both: absolute excellence!!

I will try to keep this review short (but it is tending to go long).

This would be my 3rd and 4th crossing on the QM2 and reading some reviews and comments over the last year I was a bit worried that I would find the ship in less than perfect condition. Well, there was no need to worry. Everything was perfect! I did see a rust spot on my balcony but sometime along the way it was painted (NYC to SOU). One day it was there and the next day it wasn't. There was a burnt out light in my statement room (one of those that illuminates the picture on the wall) and sometime along the way from SOU to NYC it was replaced. Both of these were little insignificant details that could never ruin a holiday but it does illustrate the care given to the ship. Every so often I did see a chair with a chip in its real wood frame or a bit of worn carpet but the ship was immaculately clean and well cared for. No soft spots on the floors or anything to really suggest that appropriate care was not given to the QM2's upkeep. My cabin on Deck 11 was spotless and in a great location by the elevators. I was worried about noise from the elevators but I found the stateroom perfectly soundproof. The beds and pillows were comfortable the balcony came with a terrific view! I always find staring out at the Atlantic to be transfixing.
