My wife and I recently completed a 24 night Southampton to Southampton voyage entitled 'Grand New England and Canadian Wonders' onboard QM2.
We have in the past made many trans Atlantic crossings onboard QM2, normally spending five or six days in New York before returning home on her. This was the first occasion that we continued with QM2 while she sailed along the Eastern seaboard of the United States and Canadian coast, calling at Newport Rhode Island, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax and Quebec before returning to New York for the voyage home.
The itinerary of this voyage included two 6 full day Atlantic crossings. This may seem a little daunting to many cruisers, however QM2 and Cunard have a pretty unique mix of activities and entertainment onboard QM2 so I thought, just for a change, that my review would concentrate mainly on the Atlantic crossings. I will skip mention of the usual cruise ship sea day activities, quizzes, bridge classes, bingo and spa lectures - QM2 has considerably more to offer in addition to the normal run-of -the mill activities.
We were well satisfied with our Princess Grill suite. having travelled at this level on many occasions. Plenty of space and services though an interactive TV would be an advantage but certainly not a show stopper. It will be interesting to see what next month's refurbishment brings as all staterooms are being upgraded.
