Cunard Cruise Reviews for Family to Asia

We decided to book a cruise with Cunard again after a wonderful past experience in 2017 on the Queen Mary 2. Although our recent trip had a great itinerary, unfortunately the ship, food, beverages, entertainment & service did not measure up. Everything was ordinary, even though we paid dearly for a penthouse suite in Queen's Grill. Cunard also did not honor their own All-Inclusive Beverage ...

First time with the Queen Mary 2 doing SYD-SIN. We have been with Royal Carribean Allure of the Seas and Aida Blue. First time coming in we have visited the pursers office to ensure we don't get charged their hefty daily room service charge.. then next day the charges were applied to our room... anyways we got this fixed right away by visiting them.. no worries. We were charged again though ...

The ship is magnificent, although the recent refurbishment in 2023 didn't reach all the staterooms( not allowed to call them cabins), the carpet in our room was badly stained. When contemplating a cruise with Cunard get everything in writing, we spent 3 hours on the phone between NZ and Australia with the Cunard agent and decided to upgrade our stateroom to a room with an un-interrupted view, on ...

My first time sailing with Cunard having sailed mainly with Royal Caribbean (14 cruises) and I was so disappointed. 1, the stateroom was nice but the balcony was stained and rusty. 2, the ship felt old and tired. 3, the shops on board catered for people who wanted expensive watches and jewellery, ladies clothes, booze and the normal Cunard material. 4, I didn’t purchase the $400+ ...

This is my second Queen Elizabeth review. Cabin - This time we were in cabin next door to where we stayed last year. Everything was well maintained, clean, and plenty of space and storage for our 34 night cruise. Service - impeccable everywhere. Food - Britannia MDR breakfast lunch and dinner always hot, beautifully presented and tasty. Freedom dining works for us. No queues. Every table ...

We wanted to see Japan but time and my wifes mobility was limited so a cruise was ideal. We enjoyed the cruise. 9 nights and 10 days around southern Japan. Pros: Speakers were great, food was above average. Breakfast was great! Excursions were great - check out the 'shotengai' [covered pedestrianized shopping streets.. only in Japan, really cool]. There is a nice one in Kochi ...

This was our 56th cruise and we know what a five star line is. This is not. It is maybe a 3.5 or 4.0 at best. While the ship itself is in beautiful condition and creates an aura of old style class, it has not kept pace with technology. Our cabin had a 24”TV and no working phone. Internet was very slow and the App you are asked to download is next to useless. It does’nt even have a chat ...

We choose to do a back to back (this was the first leg of the trip) on the Queen Elizabeth having previously (pre-pandemic) traveled on the Queen Mary on a transatlantic. We were a bit hesitant given the wonderful time we had on the Queen Mary, trying to manage expectations etc., but we were totally and completely overjoyed with the Queen Elizabeth. Cabin: Penthouse Queens Grill....spacious ...

Excellent itinerary 16 days Singapore to Tokyo. PRO'S - Staff good, cabin stewards great - food excellent in Princess Grills and Lido - theater shows very good - Talks overall good, Sally Gunnell was totally in command and interesting. Ship looked good after her paint job. CON'S - Never spoke with an officer, they never made eye contact and normal walked very quickly in two's. the Captain ...

After over 50 cruises, I thought it would make sense to sail Cunard. BIG mistake. The Queen Elizabeth was coming out of a dry dock just prior to our cruise, so I expected to step aboard an almost new, spiffy ship. That didn't happen. There were broken items in the Lido, in the Casino, in the Laundry rooms and in the public bathrooms. And everything that was broken on Day 1 stayed broken to the end ...
