Should lounging beckon, I shall happily enjoy the contrast between our balcony (Q3) and the Grills Terrace, although from a perusal of the deck plans, I don't believe Queen Anne's GT will quite match QE's. However, we most certainly did not reserve our forthcoming British Isles exploration for terraces.
We are very much looking forward to another Cunard experience, and relish the thought of witnessing, at first hand, Cunard history. My intention is to review this new vessel honestly and objectively (with the exception of aspects of cuisine, wine, etc. which are always, to a degree, subjective). At our age, we would hardly expect to be entering utopia on embarkation in Southampton, but we are very excited to begin our own Queen Anne experience. I actually wouldn't dream of passing judgement on anything similar to this life moment for many of our fellow passengers from a keyboard.
I harbour similar sentiments about our voyage on Oceania's Vista, which we will begin in a little over two weeks. There are some Vista detractors on the Oceania board who have never sailed on her. We may not enjoy either experience, but at least we will be able to say we've given them a shot. It will actually be fascinating to compare two new vessels of different lines. If we don't wish to return to either, then there are other wonderful ships in both lines, and another favourite, Seabourn, awaiting.
