Cunard’s stated aim in building the ship was to
recreate the golden age of transatlantic passenger
ship travel. However, the passengers on the
TITANIC, the NORMANDIE, and the first QUEEN
MARY, never had it as good as passengers on
QM2. Even the passengers in first class on those
ships had to make compromises, as the facilities
were just not the same as those they were used to on
land. On QM2, the accommodations are comparable
to a first-class hotel on land. Of course, as with a
hotel, the more one pays for a cabin, the more luxury
one receives. It should be noted that passengers in
the lowest price cabins can go almost anywhere on
the ship and use the same amenities as passengers in
the best suites.

QUEENS GRILL SUITES
Passengers staying in the Queens Grill suites receive a number of
amenities including a butler to do such things as pack and run errands, a
bottle of champagne, an in-cabin X-Box, flower arrangements,and
personalized stationery. They have a reserved table in the single-seating
Queens Grill restaurant or they may dine in-suite selecting from the Queens
Grill menu.
The Balmoral Suite is one of two Grand Duplex suites. The lower level
(top right) features a large living area leading out onto private deck space
facing aft. On both the lower level and the upper level are marble
bathrooms. The one on the upper level (lower right) features its own
whirlpool and an ocean view window. Also on the upper level is a large
bedroom. The suite measures 2,249 square feet.
Situated between the two Grand Duplex Suites is the smaller
Holyrood Suites (1,194 square feet). Like its neighbors, the
Holyrood is a duplex with a lower level that leads out to a private
deck area (above right). The upper level has a large bedroom area
(above left) that can be closed-off or left open so that the guests
can look out the large picture windows (lower right).
At the other end of the ship are the Royal Suites (796 square feet). The Queen Victoria suite has a living area that offers
the same spectacular views over the ship's bows as in the Commodore Club one deck below or, for that matter, from the
navigation bridge one deck above (above left). The bedroom is large (above right) has a master bath with shower and separate
whirlpool. The suite also has a second bath with shower.
The Queens Grill suites that do not have individual names are located
along the sides of the ship on Decks 8, 9 and 10. They all have their
own balconies. The bedroom connects with a bath that has its own
whirlpool (above left). It also opens into a combination living and
dining room so as to form an L-shaped area (above right). These suites
are 506 square feet.
