Agreed, rsquare. Both of us spent many hours reading and/or just watching the ocean in this lovely space. Also in the library, which in my experience was ALWAYS quiet, even when there were quite a few people in there. There was always a comfy seat and so many beautiful books to read or just browse, which I did when I needed a change/break from my current read. If you are a reader, you will absolutely love QM2, there are so many quiet spaces to read, inside and out. She's a big ship with relatively few passengers, who are always well behaved (in public, anywayπ) Isn't reading on a ship just the BEST thing to do, fellow Cunard lovers?
