We booked back-to-back on QE, but were allocated different forward balcony cabins on Deck 4 (because of unavailability of the same cabin), one on the port side, the other on the starboard side for the best of both worlds!
Will be thankful for comments on these cabins, and what would the process be (and what one may expect and how one may be herded?) on disembarkation/embarkation day for the back-to-back.
