Thanks for your review! We were on the same crossing and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was our third crossing. We thought:
QM2 looked amazing and we enjoyed the space and the lack of congestion that is found on the modern mega-ships.
The updated (for us at least) cocktail menu at most venues was excellent.
Food in Britannia was excellent in our opinion. Service was solid.
Our room steward did a fantastic job and we thoroughly enjoyed our stateroom on deck 8.
Thermal spa...oh so great and I think a bargain at $120 for the crossing.
We actually are able to drink the sparkling wine provided at embarkation and enjoy it. Thanks Cundard!
Orchestra and singer - just top.
Quality of speakers always a pleasure. We enjoyed Maureen Ryan, Lord Astor and Giancarlo Impiglia very much.
Out of Cunard's control:
Weather was fantastic compared to other crossings we have done
What a delight to see a huge pod of pilot whales!
Fog horn in use most nights it seemed. Didn't bother us though
Oops:
Sorry, but the coffee served in the buffet is truly wretched. Would prefer they put out packets of "instant" coffee instead.
Verandah meal was pure confusion. Good steak, but price/performance not aligned
Drink prices are starting to get a bit silly. Yes, there are locations on this earth where they may still seem to be appropriate, but they are getting fewer and farther between.
