Additional details

Sail Date: Oct 2011
Cabin: Princess Suite

Having had a most pleasurable telephone-booking session with a remarkably well informed young man (booking our cabin away from the lifts to benefit from reduced noise) we sampled a Taste of France to see if we enjoyed the Cunard experience.

You really do get what you pay for.

Paying the extra for a Grill level trip (Queens = First Class, Princess = Second, Britannia = Steerage) has the same result that you would expect on a plane (First, Business, Tourist) .. so our holiday experience was quite different from two others I have read from fellow passengers.

Cabin Review

Princess Suite

Cabin P2

P2 suite had excellent clothes-storage capacity.

Suites are well-insulated from noise from adjacent cabins.

Suite well-proportioned, well decorated and nicely furnished.

Many alternatives for lighting options.

Bath is narrow (for the broad-of-hip) and shower head low (for the long-in-leg).

Lined curtains AND net voiles .. even when the nearest 'peeping-Tom' is two thousand miles away !

Useful sized fridge (which you stock via requests to your steward).

After a while you get used to the sound of the toilet flush (you have to hear it to understand that one).
