Enjoyed a four night cruise to Hamburg in January 2019. A very similar ship to Queen Elizabeth that we sailed on in 2018. Oceanview cabin very spacious and comfortable. Please be aware that the prices of drinks in the bars and restaurants are expensive, and bad more so by the 15% service charge that us applied automatically. A small glass of the cheapest red or white wine is $10, whilst a gin and tonic is $11 as they always to seem to upsell with the Fevertree tonic. However, as we are not big drinkers and had onboard credit, that did not spoil our enjoyment. Self service breakfast in the Lido Grill was very good. Afternoon tea in the Queen's Room was also enjoyable, although it did feel a bit rushed as the waiters came quickly to bring you your tea, sandwiches, scones and cakes in quick succession. Evening meal also felt rushed, as it seemed the waiters were required to serve at their allocated tables and deliver many dishes to a tight timescale and to get everybody out by the allotted time. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable few days.
