Supping on my coffee in bed at 8 am I am too aware of this being our last day aboard the QM2. What a way to cross the Atlantic (and cheaper than flying too).
This sector of our Journey has been rather better than expected. Many reviews from previous passengers ran down the liner, claimed it was less than they thought it would be; for our group that has not been the case. Yes, QM2 is its now 11th year of service and as any liner would have, does have its were and tear but she is a great ship and she is very well groomed. It is all about the little things: the service has been exemplary, the Kids Zone staff fantastic, the food superb, and the ship itself, so large that you need to leave your stateroom with seven minutes to spare in order to arrive at the Britannia Restaurant three decks below and aft (we are forward - just under the fog horn!).
Would we recommend a crossing? You betcha! All inclusive with three people in a stateroom, the price has been less that our one way flight from Doha to Prince Edward Island and that is all inclusive. That said, I did book through my US travel agent and I do know that some people aboard booking last minute in the UK had excellent prices including one-way return flights....they were free to accept and thoroughly enjoyed their short notice 70th birthday celebrations. Thanks QM2 for a wonderful crossing, it exceeded my expectations. Where tie is on my side, I shall be sailing the Atlantic rather than flying in future.
Tomorrow it is off into London with an evening West End show - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
