QE2 - Four Plus Stars-“New carpets, drapes and furnishings add a much classier look to this elegant old lady and it’s wonderful to find her beautified. We found service and cuisine at a much higher level than we’d experienced two years ago. Drop dead gorgeous are QE2’s restaurants after the 1999 refurbishment.”
Caronia - Five Stars-“The epitome of the golden age of ocean-going travel. Caronia’s quality is reflected in her high number of repeat guests. ..the warmest, coziest atmosphere a small ship can offer. Caronia’s staff goes out of their way to attend to your every whim. The choices of appetizers, main courses and desserts are superb, and the ship boasts an excellent wine cellar.”
