This was our eighth voyage on the QM2 and have never been disappointed. We always feel very special, by the way we are treated, the music in the Chart Room each evening, the fine dining choices and all the staff. We also enjoyed the various receptions to honor the captain and the senior staff.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Now that we are platinum, we enjoyed embarking early. I didn't think the special waiting room was particularly comfortable.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our waiter in the Britannia dining room was excellent. He was very helpful when we couldn't decide among several savory choices. We visited bars in the Commodore and the Chart Room and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. We also found Jason in the Corinthian especially helpful. Our stateroom steward, Jun was fabulous! The room was always clean and whenever we asked him for something, it appeared very quickly.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The common areas were all clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
The bed was comfortable and there was more than enough storage. However, the balcony had several rust spots, the faucet in the bathroom sink dripped and was finally fixed five days into the trip. There was also a strip in the bathroom cabinet that was hanging loose.
Ship tip
Be aware that even smart casual required a sport jacket for men.
Old friends picked us up at the port and drove into Quincy Market for a great lunch. We couldn't find a seat to watch the fireworks from the deck, so we watched them in our stateroom. When we opened our balcony door, we could hear the cannon fire.
We had our own carry on luggage, so from the time we stepped out of our stateroom to the time we were in the pickup area outside was a total of FIFTEEN minutes!!
Thanks for the heads-up re: sports jacket requirement. It will be my first trip on QM2 (S'hampton-NY) and I plan to dress well throughout the journey. Its good to know I won't be too far out of place
