Cabin: Outside Occasion: Wedding anniversary
FIrst time on what can only be described as a magnificent cruise liner. The Queen Mary 2 is quite simply a stunning vessel, not too much glitz, just elegance personified. The cabin was excellent, the cabin steward very friendly and helpful, the Britannia restaurant did not disappoint, the waiters provided a service that was 'beyond the call of duty' Our only criticism of the transatlantic experience was the levels of entertainment provided, as they were aimed at a more mature guest. The theatre is a fantastic design, yet an opera singer, a flautist, a dance company seemed just a little too 'high brow' for our own personal liking. However this aside, we would have absolutely no hesitation in sailing with her again.
