Cunard Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise to use my remaining credit, just a week to the Norwegian Fjords and although I've been before, I hadn't visited Alesund or Haugesund previously. The weather in Bergen was atrocious, pouring with rain and blowing a gale, but after that the weather was very pleasant, with blue sky and warm sun the last 2 days. Embarkation was very quick, as no testing was required at the port ...

Short factual summary before my opinions: Queen Victoria was in good nick post-refurb with much outside painting going on. Passengers aboard numbered around 1550, and though there were definite problems with staff numbers – those at work were running around like the proverbial – there were no problems at all with staff helpfulness or courtesy. ALL staff at ALL TIMES were masked, passengers not ...

This was our third cruise with Cunard. In fact it was our Honeymoon as we got engaged on the same ship 5 years ago. We LOVE the ship. However, even taking account the issues caused by COVID, there are some major areas that Cunard need to address. DINING OPTIONS These seemed rather limited on this cruise. Cruises are synonymous with offering almost 24 hour dining, however the choices on ...

We have always said that we love the crossings and love the QM2. Indeed we have crossed the Atlantic about 13 times on the QM2. But the serious issues with this crossing make us wonder if we are making a poor choice and whether we will ever return. We did love the Chart Room and spent many hours there listening to delightful music and receiving excellent service. But hours spent in one bar ...

My first ever cruise. Was very much looking forward to the advertised excellent service, fabulous entertainment and delicious food. This ship failed on all points. The service in the majority of the restaurants was very slow, receiving your bottle of wine half way through your main course is not good enough. The entertainment was basic and lasted just 40 minutes per show. The britannia restaurant ...

As regular cruise travellers with American cruise lines (20+) we were excited to try a short cruise on Cunard. We booked this four night cruise on Queen Elizabeth from Southampton to Amsterdam. The first impression of this Ship was good but our experience soon went spiraling down. The Stateroom attendant was initally pleasant but ignored us after the first meeting. The bed sheets were not ...

Great to be back on board the QE even if for only 4 days. Our first cruise for 30 months since the pandemic. Fast efficient check in. Pleased with covid precautions still in place. Ship very clean and the food and services all to a very good standard considering the circumstances. Special mention to Antonio for looking after us so well (again) in the Britannia Restaurant. Entertainment most ...

Having spent 2 weeks on QE in November on a cruise to the canaries & maderia in a standard balcony cabin I thought it would be useful to some to compare experiences of a short trip to Amsterdam in princess grill in March. The first obvious difference is space. The princess Grill cabin was approx a third bigger overall, however contains a walk in dressing area with a spacious bathroom with a ...

Having been five cruise lines, I as a person of color have never been so insulted and felt so discriminated against than we did on board our recent trip to Norway on the Queen Elizabeth. From the public demeaning ways the staff of color were treated by the white management, to the impatience of the excursion desk rep with my wife's Japanese accent (who received a college education in the US), from ...

To celebrate my mom's 80th birthday, we booked a cruise. We had booked earlier cruises, but moved to the date in March thinking that we would have a better chance of Covid not impacting our trip. The cruise - the Northern Lights - was marketed as 12 days with 6 days in ports. Nothing was as expected. Before leaving, I received an email telling me an excursion was canceled. When I went to ...
