Did I say that the "Queen Mary 2" is big? Well it's really big, huge in fact. Just look how it makes the tug look like a toy boat. Our cabin was on this side of the ship. It is one of the ones in the top row of the white strip that runs around the ship just above the black part of the hull, and is 24 windows in from the stern. Our cabin had an enclosed balcony, the "window" is always open. You could sit out on the balcony and watch the ocean, but there are 19 bars on the ship and the Oldies wanted to check them all out. Our favourite one was called "The Chart Room". Here I am in the chart room, sitting on one of the tables, just the right height for a small bear to watch waves and possibly whales. View, fruit cocktail and a bowl of chips - what more is needed to keep anyone happy for a while. The Oldies had comfortable lounge chairs next to the table and they paid the bar bill, so I spent a lot of time here during our cruise.
