This was our second cruise on the QM2. Although the trip was enjoyable, it appears that the overall quality of the Cunard experience has gone down since our last getaway.

But let me start with a few positive items first: Dis/embarkation was a breeze this time around. Lovely. Our Cabin Steward, Rhoderick, was excellent.
