Beware of an extra few drinks added to your onboard account if you have the full drinks package the bill comes in the early hour of disembarkation day so dont have much time to argue the point to cancel. very sneaky tut tut.

Spectacular if you are a lifeboat enthusiast.

Oh a heads up to anyone travelling back from New york that need a fit to travel test DO NOT PAY for test there are loads of free testing sites all over the city just ask them for a fit to trave test they will email you with all relevant paperwork you need to board.

Boarded on the 1st May from Brooklyn back to blighty took two hours from queing to more queing ,what a fiasco that was. Ship to me was very plain and rather dull Waived gratuities at pursers desk on embarkation only to find out luckily enough this wasnt put in place reported the chap that said all was done. thankfully the lady sorted this mess out. The contsent taking off and putting on masks was a right pain ,in the buffet and walking round on board. then sat for dinner amongst six complete strangers for evening meal with no masks Wine waiter half filled our glasses with the house wine then disappeared never to be seen again however the food waiters were good as gold Food was average fare and actually thought the buffet was better quality ,the old QE2 was far superior. one chef had the right hump when I called him over to serve me something in the buffet as he was chatting to a young waitress at the time. American comedian was quite good although couldnt take a drink in the theatre and the mask wearing made it stifling in there. Still, got me across the pond after a hectic week in New York. The cabin cleaner chap was a diamond couldnt do enough for us.....top marks. Would I use the ship again .............No.
