Between 19 December 2012 & 7 April 2013 (109 nights), my wife and I were on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth on two cruises (back-to-back) to the Mediterranean and Exotic Discoveries.

1. Queen Elizabeth was exquisite. There were excellent public areas such as the Garden Room, Cafe Corinthia, Commodore Club, library, fabulous decor in the Reception Atrium, Britannia & Verandah Restaurants. Also, lots of lovely quiet corners. Our cabin was well appointed and there was plenty of storage space. We had problems, which were unavoidable, e.g. Customs & Immigration in the USA, which we all suffered for 3 hours, with stiff upper lips!

2. In general, the Entertainment on board was disappointing for a ship of this quality. Some professional acts were very good, others extremely poor. One artist, performed the same routine, seen in 2007 on Aurora. Word for word! How disappointing. The ship's Singers and Dancers repeated the same shows 4 or more times. In the past on long duration (14+ week) cruises we saw 14 new shows.
