Review summary

A Transatlantic Crossing is so much more relaxing than a cruise, and the entertainment they put on is second to none... The English National Ballet were amazing, and we particularly enjoyed the talks by astronaut Robert Thirsk. We would definitely do another of these again in the future ⚓️👌

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The Bus company had merged QM2 passengers with Elizabeth passengers, the two drop offs at two separate cruise terminals was a bit of a faff, and not what you want after a full day on a coach... 🙄

Onboard Activities

Unfortunately the kids pool was closed for much of the crossing, and one nasty passenger was adamant that she didn’t want any kids in her child free pool area (albeit temporarily), hence despite soaring temperatures we all had to use the indoor pool, not great 😞

Tour guide was excellent, and the tour really covered a huge area !

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Again the bus company merged QM2 passengers with Elizabeth, which meant a shuttle bus over to Elizabeth’s Terminal, and relocating all our luggage from bus to bus.... suffice to say it was quite late before we finally got on the road (it was a very long day with a 7yr old) 😞
