First, I will tell you that my wife and I are in our early thirties and that we have been married two years and 1/2 years and have been on six cruises in that time period. The lines we have traveled on are Princess (Star) 2 times to Alaska 7 days and Greek isles/Italy 12 days, Carnival Spirt to Hawaii 12 days, Royal Carib 7 days to Bermuda, and Norwegian Dawn 7 day to the Bahamas. Now at least you might have a little better idea of where we have been and how I am rating this cruise.

In all seriousness this cruise was not at all what we expected. We actually booked this cruise in the hopes of finding an adventure on the biggest and grantest ship of them all. At least that is what we thought because of the way Cunard attempts to presents themselves and their ships in their advertisements . What we got was, we paid more money for the so called privilege of sailing on their ship and along with that came long lines,slow service, poor planning by ships personal and average food(No better then Princess or Royal Carb)What I don't get about all this is, I am told Carnival owns them all.

It started from day one. My wife and I decided that we wanted to try the QM2, so we contacted our travel agent and got the ball rolling. Well, I wanted to see what shore excursions were available to go along with this 11 day cruise that we were purchasing. Guess what no information online was available for any of the excursions, my travel agent called Cunard and they stated that after I book the cruise they will send me information in regards to the excursions, 28 days before sailing. I then called Cunard and received the same information as was given to my travel agent i was also told that they could not present me with any excursion information at that time. So in reality they expect people to purchase their cruises without even marketing what you and your family are going to do when you get to where you are going. Fine....honey its the QM2 well have fun just being on the ship.......................We booked the trip. Read more
