i sailed on the 12 night splendors of the fall cruise on QM2 oct.12 thru 24th.embarkation as usual was a confusing mess but once on the vessel-it was wonderful.we parked at the brooklyn terminal lot,very convenient but is $18.00 per day.they have carts to use for your luggage when leaving the ship also.relatively easy in and out.food was above average,entertainment-average.the ship is the most spacious i have ever sailed on.very quiet and relaxing,minimal pa announcements.food available 6 AM TILL 4 AM buffet style and 24 room service is available but limited menu and no dinner menu via room service as some ships are now doing.we liked the kings court as we found the brittania restaurant slow and noisy but the food everywhere is great.food is very fresh and all the dining areas are immaculate.staff/crew very friendly.specially liked the full deck promenade for walking that some ships do not have and enjoyed the enclosed pool ares for bad weather days.would recommend the QM2 and will most likely sail on her again.public rooms are beautiful especially the queens room.the main show room-royal court theatre has some poor seating areas-corners and behind poles and is not the best designed theatre out there.the library is great.internet access is slow and is about $24.00 per hour.the royal court orchestra is great,best i have heard on the seas.other entertainment average.sail on the QM2 YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
