Sail Date: Aug 2011

In August 2011, my wife and I took our second 14 day transatlantic roundtrip with the QMary2 and as a result of our satisfaction with the cruise (and its price) reserved for a third transatlantic roundtrip, this third time not limited to repeating the 14 day crossing (which would have been in June, 2012), rather expanding it to the 25 day extended roundtrip in August, 2012 (which includes Germany and Scandinavian countries).

Our first crossing in June 2010 was on a A1 cabin, realizing it was no better than a A2 cabin, just more expensive, so took our second crossing in August 2011 on the latter and saved about 50% on a room just a few doors away. We therefore recommend anyone contemplating an A1 cabin to closely compare with A2 cabins before committing.

The Atlantic ocean behaved even better this time, several times forcing us to look out the balcony to make sure we indeed were on a ship crossing the Atlantic, not a mere lake large enough to not let us see the coast.

Cabin Review

Cabin size more than adequate. Closet, however, could and should be a bit larger to accommodate longer cruises. Balcony was satisfactory in size but chairs were slightly uncomfortable. Location was good but not really excellent because we constantly heard noises made by a closing door above. We have taken notice of this in order to avoid the location in the future. Just a few cabins away on either direction would be fine. The door above belonged to the swimming pool area leading to the outside. Apparently many people use it in the morning after 8am and again several more times during the day. No problem in the evenings.
