I didn't think anyone on our last QM2 warranted any extra tip. They did what they had to do but not many seemed to be enjoying their job. When asking one waiter why the breakfast was slow arriving (Britannia) he replied that we shouldn't come at the busy time. One night I had to ask twice for the wine waiter to come, his excuse....he was busy at the Captains table!
I think they have too many Eastern Europeans working onboard now. They aren't service orientated like eg. people from the far east. Our assistant waiter was from Russia and she didn't have a very good attitude although she did what was required.
We had the opposite experience on the QM2. We had a fantastic trip and one of the reasons was the amazing standard of service we received from the staff. Our waiter and bus boy in the Britannia restaurant were both Polish and they provided exceptional service and were very pleasant. We tipped them extra and I saw most other diners in our section do the same. We will be traveling on the QM2 again in a few months and we are greatly looking forward to it.
