Just returned from a 7 day 'bounce around the Bay of Biscay' to quote Captain Hasmi.
Captain Hashmi is a very amusing Captain. Helping to create a great atmosphere on board.
We have sailed several times before on the Queen Elizabeth and each time have felt totally relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the Cruise.
A beautiful ship that is going in for a two week refit in November so should look ...
We have been cruising for 24 years and have travelled with most of the popular cruise lines excluding P&O. We have been on the QM2 in 2004 and so had very high expectations. We had never sailed from Southampton before and we had hotel stays both before and after the cruise. Overall, the cruise was very good and the cruise critic.co.uk summary is very accurate. The ship is beautiful with many ...
This cruise was a short holiday a break from the stresses of work.. my boyfriend and myself decided to try club balcony room8045.. lovely room but really small shower for my boyfriend who’s 6ft..2..couldn’t stand under the shower ..no chocolates and strawberrrys on arrival even though they had been payed for before so that started the holiday off bad.. next don’t get me wrong I can’t tie all ...
Since this is the first time we had ever been on a cruise ship, we have nothing to compare it to. Crossing was from Southampton to Brooklyn. We were totally delighted with the food, professionalism of the staff, the gala events, dressing up for dinner each night, the entertainment. My husband took the WSET wine certificate course and is awaiting his score. We took the cocktails seminar and it ...
My husband and myself had never sailed with Cunard before and were worried that maybe we would feel out of place. We didn't have to worry as we met so many friendly people. I have read some other reviews on here and think that I must have been on a different ship. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and very funny. We certainly were not pestered by bar staff to buy drinks. If you don't ...
Out first cruise was with Cunard & were told that "we had started at the top". A couple of subsequent cruises with Celebrity confirmed we were told right.
This was our 5th with Cunard & (for us) it was perfect from start to finish. This company really knows how to look after you & make you feel special. EVERY crew member encountered was charming, cabin immaculate, Britannia restaurant food ...
We chose this 7 day cruise because we had been on the Queen Elizabeth and wanted to try the Queen Mary 2
The good:-
Very good or excellent entertainment shows in the evening.
Lots of games to play in games room.
Excellent free library.
Nice afternoon tea
Excellent Theatre and Cinema
Generally interesting lecturers
Excellent art exhibitions
Excellent ballroom
Very ...
We chose this cruise because we always enjoy Cunard, and this cruise was going to four maiden ports, both for us and the ship. We got what we expected, and we're not disappointed. We have cruised with Cunard a number of times since 1997, and cannot really see what those who gripe about falling standards are encountering. Food, cabin and service were all very good. The staff are unceasingly polite ...
We have sailed several times on both the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria. There is very little difference from one to the other and we feel completely at home on each of them. However, if we did not like Cunard's itineraries we would find another line.
While we had visited Baltic States before what whet our appetite were stops at three new countries; Riga in Latvia, Klepedia in ...
Expected a top of the line cruise and for the best part not dissapointed. On par with Celebrity cruises that we have done in the past.
Having to dress up with a Jacket every night after 6pm got a little tiresome especially when it ruined a 20s Dress up night.
If you love Ballroom dancing this is the cruise for you.
Food is great even in the Buffet restaurant.
The abundance of ...
