We had a very enjoyable time on Queen Elizabeth. The internal art deco design of the ship was very impressive. Service on the ship was great and the staff were very friendly. A couple of negatives - the cost of drinks onboard (inc the 15% service charge) are excessive and I was surprised that Cunard did not enforce the "smart attire" rule in the dining room. The quality of the food was generally good.
