My 4-Night cruise onboard the Queen Mary 2 – Princess Grill VIP Experience

My 4-Night September Cruise on the Queen Mary 2 – Princess Grill VIP Experience

This past September, I spent four unforgettable nights aboard the Queen Mary 2, sailing from Southampton and visiting Zeebrugge and Rotterdam. Staying in the exclusive Princess Grill, I experienced a level of luxury and personalised service that made this cruise truly exceptional.

My stateroom in the Princess Grill was spacious, beautifully appointed, and featured a private balcony overlooking the ever-changing Atlantic. Each morning, I enjoyed coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise cast golden hues across the water, a serene start to each day at sea.

The Princess Grill experience goes far beyond just a stateroom. From priority boarding to a dedicated concierge who handled every detail of the cruise, every moment felt seamless and indulgent. I had exclusive access to private lounges and decks, where I could relax in quiet elegance, and each evening there were complimentary canapés and drinks, a perfect way to unwind before dinner.

Dining in the Princess Grill restaurant was an event in itself. Every meal was prepared with the finest ingredients and served with impeccable attention to detail. Afternoon tea in the Princess Grill Lounge felt like stepping into a refined world of tradition, with delicate pastries, freshly baked scones, and a warm, elegant ambiance.

During the days at sea and in port, I explored all the ship has to offer. I walked the promenade deck, attended fascinating lectures on maritime history, and enjoyed classical music performances in the Royal Court Theatre. Excursions in Zeebrugge and Rotterdam offered the perfect mix of sightseeing, shopping, and local culture, all made effortless with the concierge’s guidance.

Evenings aboard were magical. From live music and dancing to quiet moments on the balcony, the ship offered both vibrant energy and serene retreat. Watching the sun set over the horizon, feeling the ocean breeze, and listening to the gentle rhythm of the waves was a memory I’ll treasure forever.

By the end of the cruise, I felt refreshed, inspired, and completely pampered. This four-night journey on the Queen Mary 2, staying in the Princess Grill, wasn’t just a holiday, it was a truly luxurious escape, full of elegance, comfort, and unforgettable experiences.
