...the very large sign says QE2 terminal. We queued for about three minutes and then checked in.
Check in.
Hand in your tickets, smile at the camera, hand over your credit card for them to swipe, and collect some information leaflets and your card with your atrocious picture on it. Lastly you are given a letter and sent on your way.
Wander through to the waiting area. Here it is like an airport terminal, but with no choice of where to buy your tea ... ...carried a wide selection of QE2 labelled gifts which cost the earth, we bought some playing cards for $25 and were a bit shocked, but as we still use them a couple of years later I guess they were worth it.
On board you pay for nothing, apart from shopping and drinks everything is included in the price. Your personal shopping and any drinks you have at any of the bars or restaurants are charged to your room and either they take it straight off your ...

Advantages: Food glorious food, the beautiful views Disadvantages: Excursions not handled well, not enough activities on port days
...companies and decided on the QE2 as it was well known, apparently had nice food and was within our price range and also visited places we wanted to go to. We decided upon the Northern Odyssey 7 night cruise (29th July - 5th August 2006), leaving from southampton and stopping at:
- Bergen (Norway)
- Stavanger (Norway)
- Oslo (Norway)
- Rotterdam (Holland)
There were also 2 sea days in between. Because it was our anniversary within 3 months of ... ...so we decided to pay for the highest cabin in the Mauretania grade and thus we were upgraded to the next cabin up which was the Coronia level. We thought Coronia would be better because it didn't have a set eating time. It was very exciting when we received a pack from Cunard about 12 weeks before our hols that had a description of all the excursions we could go on, they sounded lovely. One thing that was missing from our ticketing information was ...

Advantages: Pure luxury and indulgence Disadvantages: You need sea legs
Our last cruise on the QE2 was a short cruise to Bilbao (closed for a festival), La Rochelle (closed on Sunday in France) and Guernsey (closed for the bank holiday) - but it still didn't affect our enjoyment of the cruise on what must be one of the best ships in the world. Pure luxury and sheer indulgence are terms which come to mind. We had a Q2 suite - one of the best on the ship, walk in wardrobe, sitting area, one of the few private balconies ... ...best restaurants at sea. The QE2 may be approaching 40 years old but it still 'does the business' for cruising. The entertainment was first rate, staff friendly, the public rooms spacious and well appointed - the only problem was when to sleep! We got the cruise for about £1550 each against a brochure price of approx £3500 so I thought we had a good deal. ...
