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 hate that Carnival cost cutting has reached Kunard's afternoon tea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the stairs instead of lifts if able.
Take a piece of the cut-up pictures as a souvenir.
Book a cruise on QM2 if you appreciate tradition and space.
