We were anxious to try the transatlantic sailing of the Queen Mary 2.
Other reviews that you read are "spot on" so we won't repeat or duplicate totally.
It was so very sad. There is a lot of attention paid to pretentious formal dress (which is/was fine - we have all of the necessary clothes and jewelry), but nothing much parallels that environment. The food was pedestrian - under/over cooked - serving sizes our watier apologized for - service was slow - one night we waited 40 minutes for our starter.
