Sail Date: Oct 2010

Our embarkation on the Queen Mary 2 at Southampton began on October 1, 2010. After being dropped off and leaving our luggage to be taken aboard the ship, we proceeded effortlessly through the preliminary paperwork,ID picture taking and security, we walked up the gangway, proceeded to our cabin to leave our hand luggage. After a quick lunch we returned to the cabin to find our luggage waiting for us...a good sign for what was to be a most pleasant transatlantic voyage.

Each morning my husband and I went through the listed activities in the ship's paper to select the events we wanted to attend. There was so much to do that the six days passed all too quickly. Certainly, the best parts of the trip were the "enrichment" lectures. Talks and lectures were presented by authors Bill Bryson, Joanna Harris (Chocolat),MP David Plunkett, and Professor Simon Newman who spoke on Ben Franklin and Churchill. Each evening the stage shows in the Royal Court Theatre were excellent. Whether if it was singing, dancing,or the RADA giving performances of Othello or The Importance of Being Earnest we never left disappointed.

The in-room TV had continuous connections to the BBC, Fox, MSNBC so IF you wished you could keep up with the news from the outside world. Plus, there was a collection of movies (free) and TV programs that you could watch while relaxing in your cabin. (There was a different movie shown nightly in Illuminations (the large auditorium/planetarium venue).
