I have just celebrated my Birthday on this lovely ship via Las Vegas, NYC and then cruising back to Southampton.
I must admit that after reading some reviews I was beginning to worry about our trip but I cannot fault the Liner.
We were on Deck 6 and although the balcony was sheltered you do not stay out there for long as the wind is so fierce-we did wonder about the previous comments as a ...
We choose QM2 and Queen's Grill as the way to come back to the USA from a trip to Britain. We choose Queen's Grill to sample the experience.
Over all it was a great cruise. The food was exceptional. However, the Queen's Grill dinning area was too crowded. The table side service cart was often pinched between two of the tables. The noise level, due to crowding was also higher than expected. ...
A lovely liner but it took us nearly 7 days to find our way around. Some of the public rooms are badly placed and access is not easily found. The presentations and entertainment were excellent which helped pass the time away when crossing the Atlantic. An observation also was that the public toilets were not clearly marked and hard to find. A great experience to travel on this beautiful liner. ...
we crossed on the QM2 a few yrs ago, after doing a transatlantic to Europe on another line.
We did the same thing this year. Think of this ship as merely a way to avoid flying and cheaper than a business class ticket. Our balcony was well liked by us and our steward did a great job. The ship looked fine, public rooms in good shape, etc. it is just that the configuration of the decks are a ...
It was a Christmas present from my lovely husband. Both were very disappointed; this was not a luxury experience .
The cabin was over crowded with furniture and would be a health and safety issue in an emergency especial at night. Cabin carpet had old stains and the floor had not been properly vacuumed. The red coloured day bed cover was badly stained. Air in the cabin was stuffy which the ...
I went on a study abroad trip with my college for Theatre. I had never been on a crossing or any kind of other ship before much less an Ocean Liner. From the moment I walked onto the ship I felt like I was part of a movie where I was the star. Every guest is treated like royalty no matter what your room "class" is. We were greeted with an ice cold bottle of sparkling wine, godiva chocolates on our ...
For our 40th anniversary, my wife and I decided to do something special, take a 7-day cruise on the Queen Mary II from Southampton, England to New York, May 11-17. I am writing to let you know why we will never do that again.
On the plus side, the room was very nice. Our steward was superb. The art gallery was excellent, and the entertainment was the best we have enjoyed on any of the ...
With a bit of trepidation, we boarded the QM2 in Southampton....concerned about the weather (forecast for storms), the location of our cabin in those storms (deck 12), the dress code (planned to rent a tux for DH) and the rumored snobby-ness of crew and passengers.
Our cabin (Club Balcony) was very clean, similar in size to most low end balcony cabin on Celebrity, but well laid out. The ...
This was our 50th cruise -- the first on Cunard's QM2.
You must include this ship in your plans for a future cruise, it's spectacular.
We flew to London (Heathrow) from Toronto and were met by a driver to take us for the 1 hour drive to the port at Southampton. Aboard ship, we toured to acquaint ourselves with all of it's features. 5 days later, we still found things and features we hadn't ...
Fourteen days at sea and only 7 hours in New York – were we mad? Not at all, as we travelled on the wonderful Queen Mary 2. An amazing trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary earlier this year (we waited until the weather was better to travel), planned 2 years in advance and anticipated our adventure with great excitement.
We had been on this ship before, on a ‘taster’ two-night trip to ...
