My wife and I have had 4 transatlantic crossings and a Mediterranean cruise on this ship. We have enjoyed every minute on board. By far the best ship we have ever been on and the best service. We have sailed through storms on the Atlantic with ease. Looking forward to more. 😢

@@jamesstaples1765 we loved our crossing and would like to do more. I have been on Queen Victoria before, in Princess Grill that time, and that was wonderful too. We particularly enjoyed the jigsaw puzzle area on QM2, low down and by the window.

The conference rooms on deck 1 are used when you are not on a crossing as they serve as the security and check out/in areas for port stops. I was equally perplexed on my crossing but it became crystal clear on a trip to Norway.

You are the man! What a great walk-through. What time of the day was this with the fitness center so empty? I’ve been in both Britannia and Princess Grill class and agree that the Grills lounge is not as nice as the other public rooms; the key benefit there is the Grills Afternoon Tea is a more relaxed and personal experience. One does the “Grills” for bigger cabins and much more dining choices (and more staff doting over you), not the other facilities. Bottom line: you have just created the gold standard of all QM2 walk-thru videos on KZbin. Wait, no…the Platinum standard. Nope, straight to Diamond standard!

Just a nerdy fyi G32 was the number given to the ship by the shipyard before she was christened - ships are numbered before they are named generally. Also the Commodores cufflinks are the spare propellor blades - the individual blades which when bolted to the propellor boss or hub make up the propellor itself. I think the QM2s propellors are six bladed. Unusually they are made of stainless steel rather than a bronze alloy.

@@TravelBlogJamie If you go to Queens Room after dinner in Britannia deck 3 just go to the aft exit and straight to Queens Room. From deck 2, Britannia or Club, it's aft exit and stairs/lift up one deck. I wouldn't normally walk through restaurant while folk are eating but if you're dining there who cares what exit you use.
