I have watched several QM2 videos in the past couple of days, and I am very tempted to try it! Did my first "ocean" cruise last spring on a Viking ship with 930 passenger capacity. Actually it was on the Mediterranean, not the ocean! I have been on many Viking river cruises, with 190 or less passengers, and expected crowds and much waiting in lines on the larger ship. But was pleasantly surprised to find how well-managed it was. Never felt crowded at all. So now I am seriously considering QM2, but wondering about crowding, especially during disembarking? Also, I would be going on to France from Southampton on my next trip. Would it be difficult to get to Heathrow from there? I usually fly from the US with a transit in Heathrow to wherever I am going in Europe. Guess I should look at a map to see where Southampton actually is located!
Thank you for your comment. Southampton is on the south coast of England, and there are coaches and trains that come from London and other major cities in the UK. It is worth trying the QM2, if you can.

I'm on it right now coming from Southampton and then going to the Caribbean ☀️⛱️ and back to NYC.
I hope you enjoyed QM2.
