This was my 5th on QM2 over the last 10 years. I've travelled QG once, PG 3 times and Brittania once. This trip was PG. I'm a spa relaxer type cruiser. The spa, now run by Morell was, frankly, filthy. the hydrotherapy oil crusting in dirt all around the perimeter. The showers dirty, foot baths and ice maker inoperable, main steam room dirty and Finnish Sauna unlit. I was literally shocked. I ...

QM2 Mixed review: Some deferred maintenance, poor food, but otherwise a delight

Having recently completed a seven-day transatlantic voyage aboard the Queen Mary 2, our first Cunard experience post-pandemic pause and just after a couple of recent cruises on Holland America Line and Celebrity X, and we felt it useful to share a quick review. Our oceanic résumé is not devoid of experience with Cunard; we first sailed on the QE2 back in the early 1970s in tourist class and have ...

By way of background, we are mid-60s with 35 cruises in 10.5 years. Celebrity is our benchmark. We had seen so many Vlogs about a Transatlantic voyage on the QM2 that, when a significant saving opportunity came up, we jumped on it. We booked an entry level Queen’s Grill Suite (Q5) and started to budget for it. The itinerary was NYC round trip with Norway and France added. Online check in ...

We were in a sheltered balcony Britannia cabin and paid $3200 and received $300 shipboard credit for a seven day return trip to NYC from Southhampton

We took the QM2 from NYC to Southhampton and this was our return for which we did this review. First all potential passengers must accept that the July North Atlantic is subject to bad unpleasant weather. We could not go outside most days with limited visibility due to serious fog on other days. My wife was sea sick. If you are inclined to be sea sick fly across the ocean. We thought the ...

Crowded with average food but lovely staff.

This was a bucket list item and I don't regret it, but it didn't live up to the hype especially the food. Embarkartion was disorganised and we were confidently directed into the wrong waiting area. Our Queen's Grill cabin was fine (large enough and quiet with a large balcony) but the dining room was small, noisy and very crowded. The maitre d' was all smiles but unwilling to put himself out. ...

Eastbound transatlantic. Princess Grill The embarkation at Brooklyn cruise terminal was pretty awful . We were stuck in a hot shed for an hour with one loo , one water dispenser , no information and not enough seats . (And that was for Grill guests). And our bage took an agonising and disgraceful 4 1/2 hrs to arrive . No Grill suite priority? The ship itself lives up to expectation. The ...

Hello all, although we are only returned from our trip a couple of days and still catching up on life, I thought I should get something on the boards based on the recent conversation about no comments from Britannia passengers. A short bit about us, husband and I are 62 and 57, retired, live in the Sarasota/Bradenton area of Florida. We take 4-6 international trips per year, and travel by ...

We are huge QM2 fans despite having taken a 10 year hiatus from sailing with Cunard. We decided to book the two week version of the July 1, 2022 cruise which was a week in new England and the following transatlantic crossing on July 8, 2022. We flew in early and stayed out at JFK at the TWA hotel for the night - it was great fun! The Cunard arranged transfer picked us up from Terminal 5 at the ...

This was my third crossing on QM2 and my sixth crossing overall, all of them on Cunard. Sadly this trip began with a badly botched boarding process in the Brooklyn with everyone (nearly all unmasked) jammed into a long multi-hour boarding line which tested the physical endurance of all, especially the most vulnerable. Cunard blamed it on a Coast Guard inspection. Once onboard, however, things ...
