We flew to New York with our son and his wife where we boarded QM2. The transfer at the airport was a bit slow but as soon as we reached Brooklyn the embarkation was very quick.
The staterooms are quite roomy and it was nice having a balcony. We found the food and service on board excellent we could not fault it at all. The evening entertainment was good and quite varied. We even tried the casino which was a first for me.
When at sea we enjoyed lunches in the golden pub which had a lovely atmosphere.
We went on several excursions the worst one was in St Lucia where we were herded onto a beach like cattle there were not enough sunbeds and you were packed in like sardines. Other guests took taxis and went to quieter beaches a lesson for next time.
The best excursion for us was in Tortola where we went swimming with dolphins an amazing experience which all 4 of us enjoyed.
Back in New York we were left hanging around on board for 3 hours waiting to disembark as we were transferring to a hotel. We enjoying cruising and we would love to go back on the QM2.
Quality of Food4
Britannia Resturant and Kings Court both were very good
Entertainment4
The entertainment is mainly the cunard singers and dancers but we throughly enjoyed it.
Shore Excursions3
Best was the Dolphins in Tortola. Worst was the beach in St Lucia.
Staff5
Waiters in the Brittania resturant were excellent nothing was to much trouble. They took their time to explain what was on the menu and what they would recommend.

Onboard Activities5
There are lots of things to do an excellent gym, planaterium, ballroom, large library, even a dartboard in the golden lion.
