Review summary

It was all I expected and more from a classic cruise line!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great, a little bit of a boarding computer problem but other than that Great!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MD was fantastic! Service and all! Verandah Restaurant was best specialty we have been in, and we have done most! Buffet in Kings Court was clean and they kept it that way!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
QM2 is not a waterslide type ship but the talks were great, the pool was OK and the Canyon Ranch Spa was the best! Really relaxing and the service in the Spa was first class! The Afternoon Tea is the very best!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Jazz group, the Harpist, the String Trio, and the pianist were all very good! The stage shows were OK to good - not the mega ship type shows but entertaining!

Children's Programs

No children!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters, Room Stewards and most ship personnel were great! A minor problem with one person but not worth giving credit to! The Purser Office personnel were the best of any ship! Quick and helpful! Plus not a single employee begged us for a good review at the end of the crossing!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Maintained perfectly. It is older but kept well!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an obstructed view but we loved it! Kept our veranda dry! Room 6161 is well located and great for going to venues!

Ship tip

It is formal and if you do not like formal don't go! Meaning if a guy doesn't like wearing pants, a jacket at dinner and a suit or a tux on formal nights then pick another line.

Ports of call

New York, New York

5 out of 5
How can anyone not like NYC!

Southampton (London), England Did not visit port

We left ship directly for Heathrow!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Had a car meet us so we carried our luggage off and were off by 8am on the nose! Even had time to go to early breakfast!
