Cunard Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

This was our second cruise on Queen Victoria, both in the Princess Grill. Our first trip to the Fjords was faultless on every level, apart from mislaying our luggage. This is why we came back. This time on arrival at Dock 10 we were told to park and pay £5 for the privilege because we were early, then told "if you can afford this you can afford to pay for parking". The menu in the Grills hadn't ...

My recent cruise on the Queen Victoria helped me understand what the term "quintessentially British" means in a Cunard context. It means a floating retirement village inhabited overwhelmingly by 1200 former Coronation Street characters. While I understand that the cruise was pitched at retirees and I fall into that category, it also pushes the line of elegance afloat and a cruise meant as a reward ...

Checking in was a slow, hot, bothersome procedure. The staff were lovely, but Southampton needs a new terminal! The state cupboards were simply furnished, but looking a little tired. Strangely the wardrobes and the "afterthought" under the bed storage was ill conceived. Usually so well sorted in these mobile hotel skyscraper.... Life on board. I think that the average age on board was in their ...

Voyage 308 Norway, Iceland and Faroe Islands. This was our 30th Cunard voyage and it will be our last, Cunard is not synonymous with quality anymore it is merely a badge, this is sad because Cunard was a company with great history and traditions which Carnival UK chooses to dismiss. On this voyage the lecturers, Robert Powell and Neil Kent were excellent but the Captain and most of the officers ...

Booked this cruise on the spur of the moment as the price was very good value for 2 weeks. Have sailed with Celebrity, RCL,NCL and Princess and wanted to try Cunard. Journey down to Southampton was on the cruise bus, very luxurious comfortable bus and no problems about the check-in procedure, at least there were seats to sit on while waiting so better than other lines where you have to ...

With the expectation of "White Glove Service" ..... different areas caused concern and did not measure up !! THE CABIN.... The light inside the cabin door did not work.... so difficulty was experienced seeing in the wardrobe! Then wardrobe handle fell off !! .a screw was missing. The hand raill above the toilet fell off while the toilet was unflushed and the items on the rail fell in ! It ...

Ten months ago (Sept 2010) I bounded down Queen Victoria's gangway in Civitavecchia following a 10 day Med and Black Sea cruise declaring her a fantastic ship and my best cruise in 7 years' experience. So it was with great anticipation and optimism that my partner and I boarded Queen Elizabeth on 26 July for the Norwegian Fjords and Waterfalls cruise. After all, if QV had ticked all my boxes, QE ...

My husband and I were looking forward to our Baltic cruise with new destinations for us as well as the royal, new Queen Elizabeth. It was no where near our expectations. First of all, after we entered our first port of Hamburg, there was a sewer gas smell that permeated the ship, especially mid ship. This odor seemed to come and go periodically and was even noticed on the third floor of the ...

This was our first time with Cunard although we are certainly not first time cruisers. We booked back in November and have eagerly kept up with reviews (some of which were a bit worrying) up to the time of sailing. Our main reason for choosing this cruise was that it gave us that very rare opportunity to sail on a maiden voyage with what we believed that would entail at each port of call.We are ...

As an experienced cruisers of 35 voyages in the last 10 years, we thought we had seen just about everything. We have been in a collision in Montevideo, taken 3 star ships with great itineraries to luxury 5+ stars where one is pampered. We expected a special trip to Norway on the QM2. Embarkation was a breeze even though they had to change docks to accommodate the Queen Victoria. The British ...
