Assuming that we would receive a five star experience; we booked this crossing but in reality we have experienced better food and service at chain motels.The ship is beautiful but not entirely functional. Our room butlers were superb but the rest of the staff is a horror. We lost water and heat several times during the crossing and in one case there was no heat for 15 hours. In trying to resolve ...
How to explain the appeal of the North Atlantic in December - enormous skies, a vast gray ocean (sometimes roiling, occasionally serene), short days and cozy evenings, and the time-suspending experience of not seeing land for a week. This was our second time on a mid-December crossing and likely not our last.
First the good: The ship looks beautiful since the remastering last year. New ...
After more than 40 cruises on 7 different lines we wanted to try the upscale service on Cunard since folks we met highly regarded it. This was an economical way to try it especially since we love sea days and many ports are a bore for us. Everything lived up to or exceeded our expectations. Our penthouse room was the largest we ever have had. My wife had a walk-in closet with a drawer unit; my ...
Cabin was nice, food was excellent and staff also where excellent. Nightmare was the kennels where I had my 2 small dogs $1000 per dog for a week of hell. We had attacks everyday on different dogs mainly the small dogs by an American dingo and nothing was done. No vet on board, no first aid training given to kennels masters and 20 dogs an d3 cats in a very small enclosed space. It was very ...

We chose this cruise to get some winter sun without needing to fly. The ship is fabulous and most of the staff were 2nd to none though we felt there could have been more staff especially in the Britannia restaurant where they were rushed off their feet. .
Embarkation was very smooth and hassle free. We were in our cabin in no time and our luggage arrived soon after. The cabin was accessible and ...
A customary trip to the Caribbean in Princess grill, the suite was fine with a very efficient cabin attendant, the kitchens made a good efforts with the food and the service in the Princess Grill was commendable. The Concierge Seltran Ebillo was personable and efficient. The evenings entertainment was good particularly from the group called the Rewind Project.
However the trip itself ...
we were picked up by coach and had a great journey down and embarkation was quick and easy.
The ship was great and the food was excellent.
The entertainment was very good but we are getting a bit fed up of Roy Walker who seems
to have been on every cruise we have had.
We had a couple of stormy days one was a force 10 the day after leaving Ponta Delgarda
and the other one was ...
Wife did not want to fly long distance to winter sun.
This was good value for money, no flying and no luggage restrictions.
The ship was excellent, crew very attentive, entertainment good and varied, food good, weather variable but warmed up as we neared the Caribbean. Been there many times so did no tours. Appreciated the presence of a bridge director for organised duplicate competitions on ...
Our cruise...sorry....Voyage on the beautiful Queen Mary 2 in November across the Atlantic was a very relaxed and tranquil affair. The vast majority of passengers were British over 70’s and as a 43 year old I felt quite a youngster for the first time in a while. The boarding in New York was not the most pleasant we have experienced, with long queues. However once we arrived on board, the QM2 was ...
