Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the Queen Mary 2 following its recent significant refit, focusing heavily on the Queen's Grill experience. The review highlights the exceptional quality of the Queen's Grill suites, noting their luxury and thoughtful design, though the creator points out modern shortcomings such as the lack of USB ports and interactive televisions. Dining is described as a major strength, particularly the Queen's Grill restaurant and the traditional British afternoon tea, which the creator compares to high-end dining at the Savoy. While the ship offers unique amenities like the Illuminations planetarium and a massive library, the creator notes that some facilities, such as the hydrotherapy pool, were out of action. The review also addresses the high cost of onboard extras, including steep drink prices and the absence of inclusive Wi-Fi or beverage packages for premium guests. Ultimately, the creator concludes that despite some service inconsistencies in general areas and a lack of modern connectivity in cabins, the ship remains a unique and impressive vessel that offers exceptional dining and service standards.
