A beautiful ship with spacious staterooms, good entertainment, good food at all times, pleasant and helpful staff. Expensive shops, expensive photographs, and a disgraceful rate of dollar to pound. All in all, all needs and wants were catered for as you would expect from a holiday such as this. Unless you're a smoker, that is. Then they put you in serious trouble on this line. Flew out to New York, and arrived back having travelled on Queen Mary 2. Very taken with all the glamour and attention given initially, realising that for me, this was the holiday of a lifetime. Not so. One area, outside, at the very back of the ship, with NO protection from any of the elements, was one small area designated for cigarette smokers. However, if you should be a pipe or cigar smoker, you will be treated as a human being who has paid for their expensive holiday, as we all did, and receive comfortable and safe conditions inside the ship's Churchill Room. So I'm so much less than they are then?! All forms of disability, including service veterans had to go to that area without exception. Here's a thought for you Cunard. Why don't you just stick your neck out all the way and make your ship or line, the first non-smoking line. Not only, I'm sure, will you be applauded by many, you will stop people like myself paying an 'arm and a leg' to be told they have no entitlement to be treated as any other person on board your ship. Thanks for the rest of the experience, but had I known better, I would never have sailed with you.
