Service and Staff

Our room Stewart and waiters were great, but our drink waiter was very rude.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The layout of the ship had a lot to be desired, but the common areas were clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin was a good size, but the ensuite was very small and the shower had a plastic curtain, not good.

Ship tip

Think twice about sailing on Queen Mary 2. Other cruise ships have much more to offer.

It’s a superb ship every time I’ve been in her. Very unique, always something to do on sea days. Lots of venues
