We have just returned from QE2 - our first time on the ship. Haven't been on QM2 but they cannot be compared like for like. QE2 is a majestic old lady and, even though some areas are showing signs of wear and tear, whilst we were on board a team of carpet fitters from Liverpool were spending 3 weeks on her replacing huge expanses of carpet, so money is being spent on her upkeep.

We stayed in P2 and thought the bathroom needed refitting. The rest of the cabin was well maintained (new carpet) but fittings are 1970's style!

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love to cruise again on her nest year, but she doesn't seem to be doing the Baltic, which is where we fancy going next.
