It is impossible to remember a member of the Cunard staff who failed to make every aspect of this crossing a pleasure. Embarking in Southampton was incredibly smooth. We arrived before the process had begun, but once checked in we waited only a short time before we were allowed to board the ship.

Our cabin was more than comfortable, particularly the bed which felt as though we were sleeping on air. There was plenty of storage space for clothes, which we needed having been in the UK for ten days prior to sailing. Speaking of which, after ten days of dealing with London's notoriously low water pressure, it was fantastic to have a proper shower! Our cabin connected to the next one, and on two occassions, when sitting near the connecting door, I could barely detect a conversation. Our steward was friendly, remembered our names, and refreshed the cabin at least twice, and sometimes three times each day, including being sure that the cushions were on the deck chairs after breakfast and brought in each evening while we were at dinner.

The daily calendar of events was full of interesting things to do, if one was inclined to "do" anything. We particularly enjoyed the Planetarium shows, and the various lectures given by learned persons in the subjects: history of the Middle East, Musical Theater, Mystery writing (by P.D. James, no less!). The presence of a troop from RADA meant some excellent theater (Chaucer and Shakespeare, albeit abridged), and wonderful entertainment in the various lounges.

Cabin Review

Princess Suite

Cabin P2

Cabin 10025, Princess GrillVery comfortable; quiet; balcony spacious for two people and real teak-wood lounge chairs are provided; somewhat forward but no horrible movement noticed. Plenty of closet space, perhaps a few more drawers needed but shelf space makes up for it.
