Review summary

We enjoyed sailing on the QM2 for the second time and we are looking forward to many more. She suited our needs very well, a quiet group of guests, well travelled, and well read. We met many interesting people, no one trying to impress the other - quiet elegance.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and painless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
No complaints, food was excellent in the dining rooms as in the buffet, although the buffet could have more variety on a daily basis. Too many things were constants. Enjoyed the Asian food.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The few activities we participated in met our expectations.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The guest performers were wonderful. The ship's company was over miked and too loud to enjoy. We walked out on all of them because of that.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent, no complaints.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All was spotless and well maintained. An ocean liner is an ocean liner and functions well as such.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beautifully comfortable mattress and pillows. Spotlessly clean, and the size was enjoyable with a sitting area. We were very comfortable in our cabin.

Ship tip

The ship is definitely for the mature adult who is well traveled.

Ports of call

The cruise terminal is nicely functional, but the neighborhood is horrible, the bowels of NY City.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Up and coming, a pleasure to visit, clean and enjoyable.

Castries, St. Lucia

2 out of 5
The capital of St. Lucia, Castries, is very poor and very sad. People sitting around who should be working. This is not a port worth visiting.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Up and coming, very well maintained, clean and enjoyable to visit.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and painless
