I've stayed in the Waldorf Astoria which is, obviously fabulous but I loved the position of the Marquis Marriott. It's right on Times Square & we found it super. The revolving restaurant and bar is within the hotel and I love it

I haven't been able to log on to cunard a website this evening. Have been trying to look at the webcams but to no avail!

Thank you for your comments. I'm not afraid of less formal but keen not to find it too 'Butlins at sea'. Not in a snobby way, just not our thing ( especially minus the kids!). I like the idea of cheaper drinks and friendly staff. ( I guess that 'no SC' means no service charge - that must make a real difference as that's what adds to the price on Cunard). I'm sold....now to convince my husband!

Having sailed on all 3 Cunard Queens I am now trying to persuade my husband to try P&O. (In particular Ventura Venice - Genoa) We've loved Cunard - as 2, 40 something teachers travelling without my children we enjoy the grown up feel of the ships. The question is, though, how does P&O compare? Don't get me wrong, we're most definitely not anti children so that's not the issue. How does the quality of food, entertainment, staterooms, staff, price of drinks etc compare? Thank you in advance!

I've been in a level 1 ocean view and loved it. There was a large window which we loved looking through - being so close to the sea is amazing. I'd go for it.

No doubt you will have a wonderful trip. Any news on sailing times? Watching the webcam and she seems to be still docked. 11pm here in uk.

When we went on QE to Norway in the summer we were full - the chief engineer told us it was fuller than he'd ever known (i.e. Full to the brim!) it was our 4th cruise but the first where the ship felt crowded. Hasn't put me off though...can't wait til we travel again!

I agree with the other posts - stunning photos which give me that pang of missing the QE having sailed on her twice. I have to ask - where there no other passengers? Your shots make her look as if you sailed alone!

I know everyone else has said it but in case you need more confirmation...do not share a cabin with another couple. The end!
