Itinerary: Caribbean

I recently came home from the Queen Mary 2 New years Eve Cruise.

To summarize - for American passengers - give this ship a wide birth. It is expensive, over-crowded, badly air-conditioned, over-hyped, cigarette smoke all over, lousy public rooms,poor excursions, over-priced drinks, and poor cabins.

The ballroom is too small for 2700 passengers. On New Years eve, we could not get in.

Observation lounges - too few and small.
Air conditioning poor.
Kings Court restaurants - poor. Overcrowded & dirty.
Brittania Restaurant - good.

Breakfast in bed was consistently greasy & bad. Service good.

Only just OK. You must book an in-hull cabin. All others are over-priced or dismal.Size: good. Bathroom nice. Furniture: Beds very poor.. Adequate storage. Couch comfortable. Table much too small. The in-cabin TV broke down a lot, and the PA system could not be made to work.

Average, and British oriented. One show was poor. The Royal Court Theatre was too hot. Too little live music.

Very poor. Little going on. Prominent spots for religious services. Few movies, poor lectures, few dance lessons. Very little live music. There was only one chess set & one scrabble set on the whole ship.

Itinerary poor - Barbados & St. Kitts are poverty stricken

Mixed, nice crowd.
