QE2: The World's Most Luxurious Hotel Episode Rating Graph

Life aboard the most famous ocean liner in the world, now a floating hotel in Dubai. Bigger than Titanic, she transported rock stars and royalty and sailed over six million miles, circumnavigating the globe 25 times before being retired. With more than 100 five-star hotels, competition in the Dubai hotel market is fierce and though millions have already been spent on her refurbishment, she's still only 40 per cent complete. In this episode, the first VIP guests are due to check in and top chef Dino and his team have a big event planned - a traditional Burns night supper for 200 guests.

Valentine's Day sees two big events happening on board - a lavish brunch for 450 people in the main dining room, followed by a romantic opera gala dinner out on deck. With guests paying top dollar for both, expectations are huge. However, a late delivery threatens to derail the brunch preparations and - adding to the presage of doom - a storm spotted on the horizon seems set to put the kibosh on the open-air element of the gathering.

The ship's most important restaurant undergoes a significant renovation. However, time is short to update the venue to suit the needs of modern visitors and chef Dino and his team are on their eighth tasting for the new menu - which still has not satisfied the owners. Issues arise with custom-made furniture for the ship's biggest suites, and the arrival of the replacement pieces disrupts a promotional photo shoot.
