We just got back last night from two weeks on the QM2. We took a car from Southampton to Heathrow and flew from there to Minneapolis and then on to San Francisco with our fifteen month old so we are pretty exhausted. I'm surrounded by mounds of laundry.....sigh...

We had a wonderful time. The ship is gorgeous. The transatlantic portion was so relaxing. At night we went to dinner and ballroom danced while Madeleine went to the play zone to be cared for by the British nannies (they're great!). My parents got on in Southampton and then we went to northern and western france and Spain. My favorite ports were Bilbao and Vigo (we went to Santiago de Compostela).
The ship is very luxurious and elegant. The food was great in the regular restaurant and there was NO nickel and diming or "upselling" like I've experienced on other mass market cruise lines. We did have to pay for soda and alcohol but that was about it. We felt we got great value for money. I love Seabourn but until the baby is older, we'll probably take a couple more QM2 cruises because of the great children's program and the elegant feel of the ship.
Interestingly, on the European segment, there were almost 2000 Brits, 267 Americans, 196 French and a smattering of other nationalities.

We also had a very nice stay in New York prior to embarking. Thanks Denyse, the Intercontinental was great and only $132 a night!
