We escape
from the cold in the small Atlantic Room, located directly
underneath the navigational bridge on deck 11 forward. This
semi-circular room with adjacent outdoor viewing
area features exquisite artwork by artist Maarten Groot.
Hidden away a few decks lower is the Commodore Club, a superb
room with great views of QM2's majestic bow through large
windows. The curves of this attractive room are accentuated by
the discreet neon lighting in the ceiling and the popular bar
bar features a beautiful illuminated model of the ship.

Booklovers
should not
pass by deck 8, where all 8,500 books in the Queen Mary 2's
vast Library & Bookshop await discovery. The backlit
veneered wooden bookcases interspersed with comfortable
seating areas invite you to browse to your heart's content during the
Library's opening hours. Right next door is the Queen Mary 2
Bookshop, selling everything that has to do with ocean liners
and Cunard's Line illustrious past. |

The days of
steerage class are definitely over on Queen Mary 2
as each of her 2,514 guests will enjoy the comfort of their
own stateroom or suite. Even the 293 standard inside cabins come
well equipped with comfortable beds (with duvets!), a mini bar
(extra charge) and a compact bathroom with shower and toilet.
Wardrobe space comes with a built-in safe and is more than sufficient for a transatlantic
crossing. The standard
inside and outside cabins measure 194 square feet which is
more or less equal to many other cruise lines'
standard accommodation.

Quite special are the Atrium staterooms. While similar in
layout as the standard inside cabin, any of these 12
staterooms offer a window with a view of the Grand Lobby
below. Further up the price ladder are the standard outside
staterooms (consider the C1 grade if you are looking for some
extra space) and balcony staterooms. A generous 79% of all
staterooms on Queen Mary 2 features a private verandah.
On the lower decks (4, 5 and 6) these balconies have closed steel lower half - only the
upper half is open to sea & air so if you are sitting down on
one of the teak steamer chairs you will not see a lot.
On the upper decks however, the balconies are equipped with a
glass railing and are therefore excellent for gazing to
distant shores. As a final note, please remember that many staterooms on
deck 8 have obstructed views. |
