Description

A legendary ship, Queen Mary 2 was the last cruise ship to be designed for the historic transatlantic service between Southampton and New York. At the time of its commissioning it was the largest ship in the world, and its interior design reflects the splendour of the great Cunard Line liners. It has an original planetarium on board, large open spaces to enjoy the sea and is the only one with a kennel. The recent renovation has definitely improved it, making it more in keeping with modern times.

QM2 Crossing

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

All the charm of Cunard in the most famous cruise of Queen Mary 2, the Atlantic crossing. It's our second time but we would never be bored. Really beautiful, elegant, especially after the refit. Excellent cuisine and wonderful atmosphere. Always a special trip!

On the real Queen!

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

The Queen Mary 2 is a ship that every cruise lover should try at least one time. Elegant, luxurious, but also modern and very livable. The cabins in the Britannia class are large, comfortable and always very clean. The afternoon tea is an unmissable moment during the cruise, with excellent scones and a wide selection of teas. The evening restaurant is also good, but the buffet is a little less varied. I will certainly go on a Cunard cruise again.

Eastbound Crossing 2012 Transatlantica Queen Mary 2

I liked

Fascino unico di Cunard e della transatlantica

I didn't like

Comment

Prima esperienza Cunard, seconda esperienza transtatlantica. Meravigliosa, fascino unico della queen Mary 2, conosciuta quindi prima del grande refitting. Classe, eleganza, il fascino di un vero viaggio transatlantico di altri tempi. Per la qualità ed il servizio, ottimo anche il rapporto qualità prezzo.
