The youngest fleet at sea needs a facelift!

To celebrate her 8th Birthday Cunard are giving Queen Mary 2 a complete refit, which is fantastic when cruise lines seem to be trying to save money and cut corners at the moment.

She enters dry dock on the 24th November and the 14 day refit will see more than just a token touch up occuring. Cunard have promised the following:

All 1310 staterooms will have new carpets, bedspreads and curtains and an enhanced sense of confort is being promised.
The Canyon Ranch Spa Club will have new fitness machines and improved features in the Beauty Salon.
The Golden Lion Pub – will have a more American Country Club feel with upgraded TV screens and be more similar to the same pub on board Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth
The Commodore Club will also be re-carpeted and have additions to the white leather furnishings
The Grills Restaurants, Commodore Club, Veuve Cliquot Champagne Bar and Sir Samuels will have new carpets.
And finally the Play Zone and Kids Zone will have a complete refurbishment with new soft play areas, and upgrades in the electronic gaming technology and facilities.

Queen Mary 2 has good reviews already so I think Cunard are doing the right thing in refitting her before the reviews start to slip. If you want to see Cunard cruise reviews visit Cruise.co.uk; I look forward to seeing new reviews after the refit.
