we chose this ship to celebrate our Diamond wedding anniv on the day of departure (I was actually born on the day QM was launched) and its juicy itinerary. .having cruised about 120 times all around the world the three places that had most appeal were first timers for us Okinawa, Taiwan & Brunei persuaded us to pay up 16 months before cruise commenced. imagine our horror when we received an email on Xmas Eve cancelling all 3 ports of call---yes 2 weeks before boarding at Southampton with no offer of cancellation.
the overall cruise was immensely disappointing and yes we feel it was poor value for what we paid (and are still paying the remortgage)
entertainment was banal,repetitive & frankly boring.-- hygiene standards were abused,
first class bed decent balcony--poor sound proofing
