Maria,

Hi again. Our trip was so short that we didn't plan on Todd English, so I can't answer from my personal experience, so can't help in that area.
But people I met onboard and who had gone there said it was good and didn't seem to mind paying extra. The lunch is less expensive than dinner. With your 6 or so days, you might want to consider one meal. If you don't, though, I think the Britannia and other dining options are fine.

The QM2 has 4 different types of buffets: Asian, Carvery (roasts), Italian, Deli and I liked the idea of having different types of foods instead of the same old buffet fare. The Deli omlettes in the morning are cooked to order and I found it quite relaxing to have breakfast there. They also make sandwiches to order for lunch too. For what it's worth, at least there are several choices of buffet foods at any one time and if you wanted, you could try a little of each at any one meal, but you'd have to do a little walking as they are spaced a little apart.

I've cruised the Pacific once for 8 days non-stop and it was so enjoyable to just experience the boat and people rather than hussle and bussle of excursions and getting on/off the ship. Totally relaxing way to vacation.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the QM2. I met many repeat QM2 cruisers while onboard, so there the QM2 has a big following too.
