Creator's Key Takeaways

Full disclosure, before I even boarded for this trip, QM2 was already my favorite ship, but it's not what it used to be.

The crew are dressed for a fancy dress party. Everything looks oldworldly.

Food was all good. Always arrived quickly and hot, which isn't a given in the main dining room.

Illuminations Plantarium 0 out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the tofu at Bamboo specialty restaurant.
Book specialty dining in advance to avoid disappointment.
Use the Commodore Club for quiet daytime seating but expect crowds at night.
