I have cruised more than ten times with Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, Costa, Carnival, RCL and so on. This is the first time I tried Cunard and thought it should have been better than other cruise lines. Well, I was wrong. We chose it was because of the itinerary - Norwegian Fjords, we thought with the fine food, and excellent service in Cunard, it would make the whole journey pleasantly. Well, I was wrong, the food was lacking of varieties. Seemingly only caters to British clients. Every morning has same breakfast such as bacon, sausage, pan-friend muchroom and grilled tomato. After a week, really fed up . We dined at Britannia restaurant, the food was plain, not tasty at all, we had to switch to Buffet restaurant for a change, but dinner at buffet was a big mistake too. Lack of varieties, only British-style food, same thing every night. We had no choice but to go for fresh pizza. Pasta is simple dish, but they do not do fresh made one, no ingredients such as onion,ham, mushroom to stir fry with the sauce. ONLY PLAIN SAUCE with PLAIN PASTA. It was horrible. We had to tolerate entire 7 days and cannot wait to get off board for food. How did people comment Cunard serves finer food. It was really inaccurate information.

Can't deny the public area of the ship is décor classic and nicely, but the staffs was liveliness, they were not happy at all. The activities in the ship suck ...no Zumba class, no golf putting tournament like the other ships do. I was so bored in the ship.

In one word, I won't go back again for any Cunard at all.
