No, but what I found so unique about the QM2 was not the ship aspects. It
was the "museum" aspects. It was all the large panels of historical and
entertainment figures who sailed Cunard in the past (like Winston Churchill,
Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Laurel & Hardy, etc.). The Maritime Quest
historical panels in the 4 stairway / elevator banks. The planetarium. The
huge library and book store with all the ocean liner books.

I think you've hit the point... I view QV as a ship, while I view QM2 as a
art museum, a history lesson, a maritime museum.
The Oasis, or even Freedom is more ship that the QV, but the QM2 is more
museum than the QV.
I have a lot of ship options, but I don't have a lot of museum ship options.
I guess that's why I was hoping for another ship like QM2.
