Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from a transatlantic cruise on Canard Cruise Lin's Queen Mary 2 it was my first time with Canard and my first time on the Queen Mary 2

Queen Mary to was so much more than I expected I expected an old school ship that might be just a little boring a little quiet she was anything but

we loved the food in the main dining room we ate in the Britannia Club dining room on Deck two everything we had we really enjoyed

this was a very meaningful cruise for me I traveled with my mother my aunt my sister and nephew and my mother and Aunt have had significant health challenges over the last few years and this trip was a really big deal for us to all go on

Be prepared for all kinds of weather and lots of wind on the upper decks during a transatlantic crossing
