After 16 days on The QM2 we have found some interesting differences. The Indonesian staff still seem to enjoy what they are doing. There are daily lectures and cooking demonstrations (Some with fees involved) We have found it easier to eat in the Lido most nights. It has the same menu and it is much faster than the dining room.
We do like the Explorations cafe by the New York Times. It has 2,000 books, magazines, Dvds and Listening stations along with a coffee bar which is always busy. The only drinks offered for lunch or diner are water or iced tea.
The main showroom has excellent seating and sight lines compared to QM2.
There is WiFi now all over the ship with rates from 35-50cents per hour. You can now use your US cell phone, but, be aware the cost is added to your home cell phone bill at $5 per minute. There are plenty of Internet Cafes ashore with rates from $3-$6 per hour.
The ride is not a smooth as the QM2 as it is twice as big and has larger stabilizers and four Azipod units.
We do have happy hour in the Crows Nest from 5:00- 6:00 pm. with 2 for 1 drinks.
Each day we receive an English and US abbreviated newspapers along with a list of events on board for the day.
