We chose a Q6 suite 5196 at aft of ship to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Beautiful suite and balcony with excellent service from butler and assistant butler but perhaps wouldnt suit everybody if you suffer as we endured a lot of movement across the BoB on our return. Food and choice of menu was excellent in Queens Grill with excellent service. Style and layout of QE is virtually the same as QV and even though due a refit in 2018 didnt look tired except for some carpet in passenger stateroom areas. Carpets in lifts were replaced during the cruise and coffee machines fitted in all suites during cruise and tea/coffee making facilities already fitted. In general very good cruise throughout but entertainment was mixed, I suppose could be down to personal taste, but thought the Cunard dancers and singers who were on their first cruise very poor.

Marked low marks for embarkation due to the fact of a late change of terminal, due to ship breaking down blocking Ocean Terminal, to City Terminal causing huge problems as not set out for CPS valet which was very poor and disorganised embarkation. Ship was also late due to medical emergency on way back to Southampton causing diversion to Vigo.
