Discover The Best Place To Stay On A Cruise Ship. And Why!

…the Antarctic Peninsula. Or perhaps, on a winter Transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2. Does being on the middle deck mean I am giving up the best views?

…friend rather than a partner, note that in most of the cabins it’s a fixed queen bed. Unlike other cruise lines, it can’t be split into twins.

…portant as an adult traveller. The beds in most of the cabins are set as a queen bed, but unlike other cruise lines, they don’t split into twins.

Many also have split bathrooms, which is a big plus because you have a toilet and hand basin in one, and then you have a shower in bath and a basin in another. But they are relatively tight.

For example, on my recent Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic they had meet-ups for LGBT, Friends of Bill W, Crafters, Knitters, Veterans, Women Institute, Masonic Brethren, Service Clubs, Rotary, and so on.
