Cunard Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

Special birthday trip. Expected it to be a trip of a lifetime so disappointed with overall experience. First time cruise so selected Cunard believing it to be the best cruise line Discovered it is trading on past reputation. Carnival taking over Cunard is like the Co-op taking over Harrods !! The ship is magnificent. Beautiful to the eye and simply magical feeling to be aboard. However we ...

It was our third time to take QM2. We took QM2 last year and were disappointed. But, we still wanted to give her a second chance, especially knowing that there was a dry port refurbishment. Unfortunately, she disappointed us one more time. While the ship was remastered, the room was still very dated. Well, we stayed in an inside room. Perhaps they did not care much about this tier of ...

We had previously cruised on Princess Cruise Line, and loved every minute! Surprisingly, Cunard, showed itself to be a step down. Certainly, not something we anticipated. Cabin: Our balcony stateroom was very comfortable, clean, and nicely appointed. However, It is important to note that we were on the 11th floor, and our room vibrated as if it were over the ship's engine. This occurred ...

Just returned from five nights on the QM2. It was our first time on a cruise ship and my reaction to the experience is "so-so". The ship is certainly grand, and there were many activities planned. It is definitely aimed at a more mature and sedate crowd, with lots of options for things like ballroom dancing, knitting parties, and intellectual talks happening daily (sometimes several times a day). ...

My wife and I cruise 2-3 times per year but had never cruised with Cunard. She was always asking ... "When can we go on the Queen Mary 2". I can honestly say that we got two cruises for the price of one. First and last. I have never written a negative cruise review before because we have always had a great time no matter which line we were with. We did the five night cruise to Halifax and Boston ...

We just got off the Queen Mary 2 Independence Day cruise. NYC to Halifax, then to Boston and back to NYC. Many troubles along the way - most not due to Cunard, just bad luck! (Fog in Halifax, cancelled fireworks on the 4th, pouring rain and delayed disembarkation in Boston). I have only sailed 4 times prior to the trip, 3 times Carnival and once Norwegian, so I am by no means a cruise expert. I ...

Our recent trip on the Queen Mary 2 showed how over the last year we are not guests on a Cunard Ship, but merely another customer to be mined. This was the third Cunard Cruise for my wife and me this year. We gave high marks to our Panama Canal and Baltic cruises on the Queen Elizabeth. I wish the same were true for our Fall Colors of New England and Canada Cruise on the Queen Mary 2. Cunard ...

We were on a cruise that was shortened due to a death in the family. Had difficulty with the staff in general and purser in particular. The staff generally ranged from unhelpful to rude.. We disembarked early due to the death. Room staff rushed us from the room, immediately after breakfast as they had rebooked the cabin and needed to have it ready for next patrons. We were not scheduled to leave ...

I sailed twice on the QM2 in 2004, a year after she was launched and our experience in the Queens grill category and the Britannia was excellent. Unfortunately, our most recent trip to New England/ Canada paled in comparison. Embarkation - Brooklyn. This cruise terminal is not easy to get to and the roads are atrocious. We drove from Maryland with our own vehicle. Usually for cruises departing ...

The basic trip was fine. Our expectations with Cunard are no longer high so it is wonderful to experience the individual staff member that is kind, friendly, professional and helps to make your trip special. But as the years go by you see fewer and fewer of these wonderful people. Cunard now nickles and dimes you but the service gets worse and worse. They hire many European/Eastern Europeans and ...
