Life on Board

The Queen Mary 2 is very large and very elegant.

A Very Useful Placard

Our cabin is on deck 6, close to the kids’ zone and the kids’ pool.  Our breakfast and lunch restaurant is on deck 7.  We like to walk around the ship on deck 7 every morning before breakfast to get some air.  It was foggy most days but that didn’t stop us from swimming or walking or even playing soccer.

The Kids' Pool

The ship also has a planetarium, where we saw two astronomy films, and a theatre, where we enjoyed a classical concert.  There’s also a ballroom where we had afternoon tea with scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam as well as tea sandwiches and cakes.

We liked the hallway with the games tables.  We worked on a couple of puzzles and played chess.

Our Floating Chess Game

The coolest thing, though, was that our bunk beds came out of the ceiling.  So during the day it looked like there were only two beds in the room, but at night there were four.  And we got chocolates on our pillows at night too!
