Who, What, When, Where, Why?

We sailed from New York to Southampton on the 1st-8th June 2013 crossing on the Cunard Queen Mary 2. This was our first time on Cunard, although we have cruised many times before, predominantly on Celebrity, but also on HAL, Azamara and (never again) RCCL. We are British expats who have been living in Maryland, USA for 25 years, and this trip was planned so we could visit friends and relatives back home and also to celebrate my husband retiring, although by the time we sailed, he had been persuaded back to his old job part time and had taken on a teaching job as well! We are very low key people, we can amuse ourselves and do not need a great deal in the form of entertainment, and after a very hectic two months prior to this crossing, we were very much looking forward to having permission to do nothing at all for seven days!
