Incredibly expensive 30 dollars for a photo...less impressive than P&o...yet supposed to be the 5 star arm of the carnival organisation...30 minutes to get a drink... unacceptable...just not enough staff and waiter was complaining of working 75 hours a week... entertainment ok nothing special...the comedian kev orkian was brilliant but the rest was ordinary and bland... other entertainment...well ...
Visiting norway and iceland
Again Queen Elizabeth has technical problems : can‘ t therefore landing in Isjafordur.
Excursions are cancelled; yesterday night the ship could‘t drive all the time with her max.
speed, so we had a delay in Akureyi.
I remember my cruising by QE 2 years ago: in St. Petersburg we could‘t depart;
by the way: it has been the same captain
Why cunard is not ...
We booked on-board QM2 on our T/A last year. The QM2 cruise was because is was an experience we wanted to have at least once. This cruise was booked as we wanted to try a smaller Cunard ship and see the fjords.
Our overall impression of Cunard is a rather dark and subdued ship with a quiet atmosphere. This sophisticated atmosphere was pretty good for me but a little too staid for my wife, ...
Firstly the good points: Super speedy embarkation , fantastic food on board, two spectacular stops in Flaam & Gerainger. Bergen was Ok but Haugesaund was dreary.
We travelled for the first time with Cunard last Fall to the Canaries and it was wonderful, 10/10. (Queen Elizabeth). This time there didn’t seem to be the same number of staff around. Longer waits to be served with drinks seemed the ...
Been on 7 Cunard cruises now and enjoyed them greatly with a couple of minor exceptions. This was our first on QM2 and we were excited as she is Cunard's Flagship. However, we did not feel the on board experience was up to the usual Cunard standard. Good points, the cabin (12001) was lovely, seemed a little larger than same grade on the other ships. General ship interior is very nice, light ...
This was our 9th cruise, but the first with Cunard. We had high expectations, having cruised with Princess, P&O and RCI we expected Cunard to perhaps be a cut above. Unfortunately that was not the case, let down by poor customer service. We drove ourselves to Southampton and handed over 2 perfectly good working order suitcases, by the time we got to our cabin after over an hour and a half wait, ...
We chose this cruise because we had massive items to transport from US to Germany, and because I have a back problem. We booked a package that included 2 days at 5 star hotel on Times Square in NYC -- wonderful.
Embarcation a little slow, but ok. The gym and daily YOGA classes were great for my back; steward excellent. I was content to contemplate the Atlantic, even though with two wind ...
Been on Cunard before wonderful experience on Queen Mary and needed short cruise as unable to leave hubby for long due to ill health I picked this as it was a big band cruise . The entertainment in the theatre was excellent but the big band experience was dissapointing difficult to get a seat and if you were on late sitting you missed a lot. The ship was beautiful however I am sorry to say the ...
We have been on 4 previous Transatlantic voyages and as we suddenly found we had a week available we made a late booking with Cunard. Cabin selection was limited and we ended up with a midships deck 8, obstructed balcony that was fine for a Transatlantic crossing. Cunard could only offer us BA London to New York (our least favourite airline) so we opted to do our own flights. Travelled with ...
Wanted to try this as an alternative to flying to europe. We were not impressed. Everything was just average. While the evening dress code is truly outdated, it wasn't a problem. Just wearing a jacket doesn't make for well-dressed passengers however. Rarely have we been on a cruise where the passengers were dressed so plainly so Cunard should re-think whether the dress code actually achieves ...
