Creator's Key Takeaways

QM2 is a great ship, a genuine one-off in a sea full of twins, but it's still far from perfect.

I love the tradition. QM2 is just full of old school decor, dark wood, and stuff off of the olden days.

I hate a certain type of cunard passenger.

I love the space. QM2 is big, but it isn't a massive ship these days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're thinking about cruising with Cunard, watch this video for an honest review.
Consider the value of good service over the cheapest possible service.

Traditional ship might be outdatedThe ship has modern amenities like satnav and Bluetooth, but the traditional decor is part of its charm.
