Review summary

The Queen Elizabeth design was beige and wood. It reminded me of a traditional British Club. I was disappointed with the lack of glamor.

The entertainment was wonderful and presented in a vibrant setting. The lectures were interesting. There were plenty of public rooms to spread out in. We enjoyed the wonderful service of Puma, our room steward, Louisa in the salon, Robert and Avish in the dining room and the knowledge of wine steward Cletin. The sailing into New York was fantastic!

The only down note was the immigration process in New York, where some passengers sat all afternoon in the immigration hall until all passengers got off the ship. My husband and I opted to stay in our room and then a public room until final call. We only sat in the hall about one and 1/2 hours.

A little more forward than we like, and seemed to be a little rolling at times. Of course we were cruising the North Atlantic in January. Small bathroom. Plenty of closet space. We loved the light from the balcony, but it also seemed to keep the room cold.

Southampton (London), England

Of all the ships I’ve sailed on, Queen Elizabeth is by far the most decorative!! Beige is hardly a good description, the fabrics , glass, carpets are all very deco
