An very tired ship

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Queen Victoria

Liked the itinerary - which unfortunately was changed - once we had boarded. Apparently Cunard were well aware that the ship had a cracked propeller -so our 15 night cruise was changed to include a three day stay in Cadiz - in a dry dock. As the ship was off next on a lengthy ‘ round the world ‘ trip - why not fit the repair in to that cruise ? We were told by the Captain that it was a rare ...

We have cruised with Cunard several times mostly recently last summer on Queen Elizabeth. We were excited to try Queen Victoria and to experience our first pre-Christmas cruise. We had several emails from Cunard on the weeks leading up to the cruise, most of which were reminding us of the health and safety protocols. We were also reminded of the need to bring proof of our COVId vaccination ...

This was our 15th cruise and and first on Cunard. I would rate it 10th or 11th. Seeyoujimmy's review further down echoes our experience. Ship is lovely but very noisy in the back of the restaurant, no conversation possible on Deck 2. It also "wags it's tail" in bad weather. Many folks missed the first gala night. Turned out the propeller was broken, we stopped for 2 nights in Cadiz to change it ...

Twenty-Seven Days on the QM2

We travelled across the Atlantic, to the Caribbean and back to NYC then back across the Atlantic in November / December. Booking and Boarding We booked a saver fare a long time ago and hence did not have an allocated cabin other than that we were guaranteed a balcony with a sea view. Three days before departure, a cabin allocation silently appeared online in our account with Cunard and later ...

I have always wanted to cross the USA by train, and since Covid, I have lost any appetite I had for flying. The QM2 gave me the opportunity to sail to the US, travel across the US by train both ways, stay a few nights on the West Coast, and pick up the QM2 from New York back to the UK. The time gap between the outward voyage on 13th November and the homeward voyage on the 3rd December - 12 ...

After an amazing half world cruise on QM2 a decade ago, it was a no brainer to choose her again for this journey to the Northern Lights. First impressions were of a tired old ship badly in need of a coat of paint. Our balcony cabin was no better than the outside impression and she is badly in need of a refit. Hallway carpets had holes and the stateroom cheap MDF furniture was falling ...

Cruise and the service provided I would rate just about good enough, though there is absolutely no margin. Brittania Club worth the extra money. Great setting, relaxed and not rushed. Plenty of choice. Entertainment was adequate. Repeated mediocre singer and decayed comedian again budget affected. Singing group were very good. Plenty of room in well-appointed auditorium. Ample room on ...

Interesting to read other recent reviews - our experiences were very similar. It wasn't a bad cruise and there were highlights - we enjoyed our cabin and the housekeeper was generally good - but otherwise we left thinking that we wouldn't rush back to Cunard. Service was our biggest gripe- Britannia restaurant was very hit and miss - one head waiter actually told me off loudly for sitting at a ...

Extremely Disappinted by Queens Grill

We selected this short cruise as a good way for us to treat ourselves to Queens Grill and try it out. It was a good job that we did this , as we were extremely disapointed and will never waste our money on the Grills experience again. Starting with embarkation. We don't think Cunard understand the meaning of "Priority" in Priority Embarkation. We were herded into the same queue as everyone ...

This was my first time on Cunard since QE2 in 1996 and my expectations based on my previous experience were high. I am a well seasoned cruiser having taken over 25 cruises since the 1990s. First impressions of the exterior of the ship were that it was a little tired and rusty, especially our balcony, although that didn't really bother me. I was very impressed with the interior decor which was ...
