Cunard Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

Let me start by saying that we are Platinum members and have enjoyed many Cunard cruises in past years. Of course, like the other cruise lines acquired by Carnival LLC luxury & quality service has taken a back seat to costs. In reading some other reviews with 6 stars and glowing reviews, I find myself thinking that they are either employees of Carnival LLC or people with really low expectations so ...

This was probably the best cruise we've taken in the 30 years that we've been cruising. The ship, service and ambiance was excellent. I was a bit leary in booking this cruise because of all the past negative reviews on this website however there was very little that I could fault the cruise line for. We embarked in Ft. Lauderdale. Got to the port around noon and had to wait an hour and a ...

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my review. This is my 31st cruise & second on Cunard. The first was in 1995, Alaska, so it was time to cruise with them again. Cunard was all I had hoped it would be, and more! I was hoping the ship would be a bit more classy then, Holland America's Noordam, & it was. I was hoping the food would be a bit better then all the other mid level cruises I ...

We've made six cruises on the Queen Vic and all in all they have been enjoyable and met our expectations for food, service, safety , and entertainment. However, our last two cruises on the Queen Victoria have been less than satisfactory, as much for the attitude of the ship's staff as the specifics of our displeasure. Seems there is a trend aboard the Victoria toward "hucksterism" in the ...

We did the Panama Explorer voyage on Queen Victoria.The past few trips we've done the Grills. Our T/A booked us a "wheelchair room. It was larger than a Princess suite. We were offered a P-2 suite. It was not a free upgrade. On checking the P-suite..It was more luxurious(as it should be)but smaller in size. The fact that the shower head was on a cord(in the wheelchair room) was a nice feature as ...

My Mother, may she rest in peace, use to have a saying, "Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope"... it must be because new ropes would be scratchy on your neck - a problem that wouldn't be worth complaining about for very long. My wife and I just completed our 45th overall cruise on the Queen Victoria. It was our 7th on Cunard. Our theory about all the complaints we ...

We choose this cruise mostly for the itinerary and especially for Panama Canal and Acapulco. Acapulco was cancelled 2 weeks before the cruise started and was replaced with Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua - big disappointment. Another big disappointment was the embarkation process that took us over 2hours, with queues till security, then till the counters and finally to the ship. There was no real ...

My husband and I booked this cruise as Acapulco and Panama Canal were what we wished to see. I found out just before I cruised that Acapulco had been crossed off the itinerary well before I booked but I was not informed at the time of booking. This meant I was a little disaapointed before I started out on the cruise. Embarkation was total chaos. After a 10 hour flight to Ft Lauderdale we stayed ...

Route: 11 day voyage: Ft Lauderdale - St Thomas - St Maarten - Grenada - Bonaire - Panama Canal (Gatun Lake only) - Ft Lauderdale 1. General Comments: A most pleasant and interesting voyage. This was the ship's only Caribbean run. It had completed Los Angeles - Ft Lauderdale, and after our voyage it was returning to its home base in Southampton. (According to the Captain, Cunard ships are ...

I went on Queen Victoria, Cunard Cruise Lines. I booked it on line, on a last minute web site. Got a great deal, then upgraded to an obstructed ocean view.Paid $400.00 more for the up grade and all we looked at was a life boat for 12 days! Don't waste your money on that upgrade! This should read window with NO VIEW! Shame on Cunard for charging $400.00 more for a room that was no better then a ...
