\n Spotted by Mac who wrote in to say: I read in yesterday’s Travel
\n section of the Washington Post that a couple taking the Queen Mary
\n 2 had picked out cabin but a few days before sailing were notified
\n that they had been upgraded to the Deluxe Deck 8. They found
\n out the upgrade was really a down grade although four decks up.
\n There was a 150 person lifeboat outside their window.
\n They said “it was like a tractor trailer blocking their
\n view.” They looked in brochure and noticed a tiny asterisk at
\n bottom page of brochure that some cabins had obstructed views. They
\n were not able to change back or change. They wrote that while
\n the Queen Mary 2 does fulfil the promise of being the longest,
\n tallest, grandest ocean liner ever most of the cabins on Deck 8
\n (deluxe deck) are behind lifeboats. While most of you wont be
\n booking passage on the Queen Mary 2. I wonder if one when
\n booking on a ship gets to see layout of cabin with obstructed
\n views. The few times I was on ship I had not view but was out of
\n cabin except for sleeping up on deck so it did not make much
\n difference.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
