Very interesting.  Though I don’t think I’ll be in the penthouse in this lifetime.  It was a fair and balanced review.

Thanks so much. There has been so little written recently. We are also in the Queens Grill for a longish cruise.

it sounds like boarding in Brooklyn is no longer the nightmare it once was?  Did you get a port arrival time?

ears,

I started your review sitting in my den in Chicago and quickly found myself transported to the Queens Grill of the QM2. Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and descriptive review. Although still 4 years away, my wife and I are hoping to sail in QG for our 50th Anniversary. You have answered a lot of questions and have further heightened our desire to do so. 

On our Crossing this past May we spent a week in London before boarding the QM2. Like you we scheduled our booster 2 weeks before starting our journey. Again like you, we did not get COVID and we were far less cautious. I think that the timing of the booster played a big part in that. 

Thanks again for the great review.

We had an arrival time of noon. It wasn't a great experience but it could have been much worse. There seem to be many opportunities for arbitrary decisions by terminal staff to create delays.

Thank you for the kind words!

Good point…. I am also going to wait a little before getting our boosters and flu shots. We are going to the Caribbean but that doesn’t seem to prevent Covid. We just came back from a Disney cruise and despite precruise testing, many people did come back with Covid,

We all had it in June and July so an August cruise wasn’t worrisome.
