Interior single cabins. Many of these
staterooms have connecting doors to
the neighboring cabins and were
conceived of as an extra bedroom for
a third person thus making the
combined cabins into a suite.
When the ship went into service, a
number of the interior single cabins
on Decks One, Two and Three were
designated Caronia (then-Columbia)
category cabins (Left and right).
However, in the 1990s they were
re-classified so that all of the interior
single cabins were Mauretania cabins.
As a result, some of these single
cabins have the wood paneling of the
ship's original first-class cabins.

the 1970s and 1980s. These staterooms are the only ones with balconies and the guests occupying them dine in the
Queens Grill.
There are a wide variety of accommodations on
QE2. This reflects the fact that most of the vast
majority of the cabins were constructed in place
rather than in prefabricated modules. Consequently,
there are differences in the staterooms even within
the same cabin category.
The accommodations range from luxurious duplex
penthouses to functional interior cabins.
A passenger's cabin category determines where he
or she will dine. Guests in the top-of-the-line suites
dine in the Queens Grill with guests in the lesser
cabin categories dining in the Princess and Britannia
Grills, the Caronia Restaurant, and the Mauretania
Restaurant respectively.
While QE2 was originally designed as a two-class
ship, over the years that distinction has largely
evaporated. There is only one lounge on the ship
that remains the exclusive territory of the Grill
category passengers, i.e., the Queens Grill Lounge.
However, this one area is conceptually no different
than the Concierge lounges on some other cruise
lines.
