Creator's Key Takeaways

QM2 is a unique ship and one that I love, but it isn't without its faults.

My last trip on QM2 a few months ago was one of the first with paid for room service. Now, this is a bad idea and it was poorly executed.

Illuminations is such a rocking venue. It looks awesome. way nicer than the main theater and it seats what 500 people. It just deserves better than to be left sat empty 95% of the time.

Scrap gratuitities and add them to the fair. There is always, always a queue at the person's desk to remove gratuitities.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Increase fares by $5 each day to keep room service complimentary.
Put a proper program of movies in Illuminations to use the venue better.
Knock through the Commodore Club to increase capacity.
Refurbish the Boardwalk Cafe and turn it into Churchill's for cigar smokers.
Make Chef's Galley a 24-hour snack bar.
