As the user name suggests, we're huge Cunard fans and although we've often thought about trying other lines, have always faithfully booked Cunard; knowing what to expect from them, and this cruise didn't really disappoint.

The embarkation went very well and the first day's sailing out to the Bay of Biscay also passed without incident. Day 2... force 10 gales... head on. I believe the staff were a little green around the gills, as were the majority of passengers from what we could tell. Still, you can't control the weather.

The first port, Barcelona, was lovely. There did however appear to be a bit of a faux pas with the shuttle buses, hence leaving a fairly lengthy queue of passengers out in the blaring sunshine with no shelter or the usual customary cold towels/drinks. A few local taxi drivers picked up some extra fares that day.

Cabin Review

Queens Suite

Cabin Q6

Extremely spacious suite with an excess of storage space. Only disappointment was the 'attack' shower curtain... hate those things.
