QE2
Dear fellow travellers,
I am looking for information on Cunard´s Queen Elizabeth 2. I would like to take a cruise next spring either in the Caribbean or from Southampton to NYC. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions concerning the QE2.
Thanks in advance!

If you like the pomp and historic value take
the QE2. I was personally not impressed
with the ship. Dinig as stated and
shopping very limited. Bars are nice. Book
spa and treatments way in advance. Small
not so private pool areas.

Never taken the QE2 on a cruise, but have done the North Atlantic run 4 times. I really enjoyed it. If you're thinking of next spring you can do something really neat. Assuming the Concorde is back in service (BA says it will be) Cunard has a special QE2/Concorde package that is a great value. My wife and I took it in 1998; Concorde to London, QE2 back to NYC. The fare was around $5200 US each.

The QE2 does not cruise the caribbean as it's draft is too deep for the islands. Mostly during the summer months it makes the Atlantic crossings between NY and Southhampton, I seem to remember it making an occaisional call at Bermuda, but I don't have the current sailing schedule.
It makes a "World Cruise" every winter and circumnavigates the globe.
