Thankfully, we only used the ship to return to USA trying to avoid the inevitable jet lag. I can confirm all the previous reviews that the ship has too many problems. Firstly, we didn't need an alarm clock as we were woken early every ...

Life aboard the Queen Elizabeth was a bit like living at Cliveden/the Ritz or in endless episodes of Downton Abbey, or in a novel by P.G Wodehouse or Agatha Christie. We were constantly surrounded by live music of all types, and with one ...

We have been with Cunard in the Queens Grill a number of times, so obviously like it, and get what we expect. Particularly enjoyable about Cunard is the sense of serenity and spaciousness, so the ship almost never seems crowded, which ...

I don't normally do reviews, especially bad ones so I apologise if it rambles instead of following some format.
Chose this cruise to travel with some friends, some issues were our fault as we did not give it as much research time as we ...

Wanted to travel from London/Southampton to Barcelona and visit Gibraltar and Mallorca.

The staff were very good indeed, in particular, the Head Waiter in the Queen's Grill, our butler Joel, and our deck 10 waiter, Dragan. The smoking area my wife and I used was forward on deck 10 and not cleaned overnight. It was filthy and ...

• light bulbs were missing ...

We've crossed the Atlantic on the QM2 a bunch of times, but this time was memorable because of the rescue at sea of a yachtsman from a disabled craft. We watched from our balcony, and then learned from a Q & A session between the ...
