Sail Date: Aug 2016
Cabin: Balcony, sheltered

We were already vacationing in the U.K. when we had the sudden idea of returning to NYC by boat. Fortunately, the Aug. 1 sailing had one cabin available--a Britannica Club on deck 12--and we grabbed it. It was our first transatlantic crossing and first Cunard experience. In most ways it exceeded our expectations.

First of all, the staff was excellent: welcoming, helpful, and appropriately friendly. Several went "above and beyond" to make our experience exceptional.

Two, our room and balcony were pretty much perfect. Everything fit comfortably, and the views were terrific. Best of all was the quiet; although the boat was fully booked, with a good number of children in the mix, our room remained a silent refuge throughout. Our steward kept everything immaculate.

Embarking was relatively efficient.

Getting off the boat was quick and easy. We docked at 6:45 am and were home by 7:20.
