Creator's Key Takeaways
Signal deck and Sund deck, which was one deck lower, were home to QE2's penthouse suites.
The most famous restaurant possibly was the Princess Grill, but also the Coronia restaurant, which used to be the Colombia restaurant, is actually the location in the ship where Queen Elizabeth II dined herself on board the ship when she visited QE2 during her service career.
The Crystal Bar was my favorite bar on board Q2.
The Queen's room was where you would go for that classic Kunard afternoon tea.
