Creator's Key Takeaways

I feel that this Queen Mary 2 is very much a mix between an airplane and an airport lounge if you get it.

The quality, the raw ingredients, the taste are really really something spectacular. You will notice it as soon as you put the first bite of food in your mouth.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Android phones to bridge Wi-Fi via the Wisp protocol if you have multiple devices.
Avoid the coffee machines at the buffet; go to Sir Samuel for better quality.
Manage laundry time carefully as there is limited availability in the self-service rooms.
