What creators said
  • Favors Queen Anne

    The Commodore Club on QM2 is described as much smaller and less impressive than the one on Queen Anne.

  • Called it similar

    Queen Mary 2 is more formal, while Queen Anne has a more contemporary and relaxed vibe.

  • Favors Queen Anne

    Currently second place to Queen Anne, but has a soft spot and will return.

  • Called it similar

    The pop-up restaurant experience on Queen Mary 2 is different from that on Queen Anne.
