      Sounds cool. I've always been curious about this as someone who needs to travel between UK and USA so am looking forward to hearing about it.

            Thanks all. I'm sure there will be stories from this trip. The last detail was achieved today, we tested negative on the mandatory Covid teat. I guess its anchors away.

                Enjoy the trip and thank you for sharing!  I am assuming that the dinner dress is formal.  Will suit and tie suffice?

                        ship looks amazing.

                        Fixed it 😀

                        The QM2 is a big girl but not when compared to RC’s Oasis class or some of the MSC ships which are almost 100 GT heavier. However, I saw the Epic (29th largest in the world compared to QM at 34th) in port while in Jamaica was thought it was a high rise at first. QM isnt too far behind.

                        I dont think anything can compare to it quality-wise. The crew ratio from what I have read is one staff for every two passengers which is amazing. I cant wait to see the pics from this voyage.

                            Think an OD denim tux would be enough for dinner?

                                The cruise was amazing. I wasn't sure  at first how I would like it. At the end, I will do it again. There were 2 formal nights, then 5 nights which I wasn't aware of I could wear jeans and a collared shirt. Oh well next time.

                                  The ship was all Art Deco. A wide assortment of ages, mostly my age and above.

                                        I would like to extend a special thank you to @Giles and @Madame Buttonfly for picking us up in Southampton, and Giles for helping Mr upload these photos. I will post more continuation of the trip photos when I get home 30 May.

                                            Fantastic photos, it looks like you had a great voyage. I’m a big deco fan so the decor is something I would def enjoy. I’ve read a lot of reviews about the QM2 and it looks to live up to the hype. My only qualm is that they have the grand stair which is lovely….leading up to a Michael Kors [emoji1361] That aft pool and tub makes up for it though!
