Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin: Princess Suite
I chose Princess Grill accommodations for a December/Christmas crossing on the QM2 (room 10.036). The upgrade from standard Balcony Suites is well worth the cost, if it is within your budget. The room is wonderful and the Princess Grill restaurant provides exceptional personalized service.
The remastering of the QM2 itself in the summer of 2016 made the ship feel new.
A couple cautions for inexperienced cruisers: December is no time to be on the North Atlantic if you have a queasy stomach. On six of the seven at sea days we had Force 8 winds with swells between 30 - 40 feet. The ship is very stable in terms of not rolling, but the pitch can be severe, especially if your suite is not mid-ship. On the first few days of my crossing, almost half the ship's passengers were in their rooms battling seasickness. Not fun.
Cabin Review
Princess Suite
Cabin P1
The room is large, has plenty of storage, and the bathroom is also large and well-designed. The bed is awesomely comfortable. The room has a 40" flat panel television, a writing desk, a bar area, and a very large balcony, with almost wall-to-wall windows. The room also has a refrigerator, coffee and tea apparatus, and a safe,

Acceptable - just.
New York (Manhattan)
Horrid. Like coming into a 3rd world country. New York should be embarrassed. Customs is a mess.
