DaisyUK,
My previous comment was merely my opinion of QM2's present state, as compared against my previous 20 or so sailings on her, and what areas I would place attention to during a dry dock period. It was not my intent to worry future passengers. I'm sure that you will have a lovely time aboard QM2! She is still my favorite ship, and I am happy to be onboard till we reach NYC, and I am looking forward to sailing her again over Christmas / New Years, to go to the Caribbean. The crew on QM2 are fantastic, so in the unlikely event you were to find anything out of order with your stateroom, they will quickly get it sorted out for you. This morning, they replaced the broken part in the air condoning unit for my cabin, so no more helicopter noise. I think the pandemic shutdown likely led to most if not all passenger ships becoming behind on some of their day-to-day upkeep and general maintenance. A current table mate of mine recently sailed on the Norwegian Dawn, and she said practically everything on that ship was either broken or in some state of significant disrepair and she was happy to be back onboard QM2.
