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

Looking forward to hearing all about your first night on board!

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.

1250 staff
Max 2600 passengers….

Think an OD denim tux would be enough for dinner?

I promise I’ll even wear shoes and not Birkenstocks [emoji3]

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.

Great photos, @ROman - I think it's funny that after we picked you up on Sunday morning from the Queen Mary 2 we took you out later in the day on Pilgrim

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!
