You will love the QE II. I had the good fortune of a transatlantic sailing some ten years ago, not in the bunk beds, but just a notch or two up, inside cabin and all that. Believe me, you won't care. You will get the same wonderful service as the Astorbilts and meet the same wonderful people. The ship is a dream (or was, and Cunard does have a reputation) and for a while you can be Cinderella without breaking the bank. Life is wonderful, isn't it!!?!?!?!

Now my dream is the QM II.

Bon voyage, Lou in Lakeway, TX
