Comments

We sailed the QE2 because of the great deal Cunard offers to fly British Airways Concorde, so we didn't expect the crossing to be the best
cruise experience. But we loved the 6 days at sea, the staff was nice, the shows were a lot of fun, and the lectures were incredible.

Word of caution: The food is less than acceptable. If you've cruised even for an inexpensive week in the Carribean, then you would have had
better meals. We dined in the Caronia restaurant, sort of a middle class place. We were offered beef that wasn't quality and always covered
with sauce to hide it. Also - tiny shrimp and lobster tails were not to be offered.

Don't go to eat, but do go for the experience. And make sure you take advantage of flying at twice the speed of sound to return!
