Sail Date: Sep 2017
Cabin: Balcony, sheltered

We originally were looking into a 'fly - tour - sail home' trip, but decided against flying and booked the round trip Brooklyn - Southampton - Le Harve - Brooklyn.

We did not know [was a pleasant surprise] that the eastbound crossing was the National Symphony Orchestra crossing. Has we known that in advance that would have been a real reason to prefer that date [the 2018 National Symphony crossing is October 18, westbound]

Everything that Cunard could control seemed to go smoothly - this explicitly excludes a long pre boarding delay in Brooklyn [started late, ran slow].

Cabin Review

Balcony, sheltered

Cabin BY

I think I can join the chorus of folks who hate the new knobs [wardrobe, desk] as the shape is difficult to grip - and also has a sharp back edge.

The 'remastered' stateroom has an electric kettle, tea & instant coffee. Moving the TV exposes four US style outlets [the kettle is plugged into one of the UK style outlets].

The bed is quite comfortable, with lots of under bed space to stow empty bags.
