Were you on the bridge? What do you think of the QM2? Would she be any good in bad seas?

I was on the viewing deck 1 deck below the bridge. She is a great ship and is designed as an ocean liner, not a cruise ship and as such she is the biggest cruise liner in the world. There are much bigger cruise ships but she is designed for the North Atlantic run and has the title of RMS (royal mail steamer) granted by the Royal Mail.The steel on the edge of my balcony cabin was approx 3/4 of an inch thick. We had a force 8 gale one night but you would not have known unless you were outside.
