Tired Ship, Bad Buffet, Subpar Service
"Pros The ports of call on this 14day western Mediterranean voyage were very nice, and we managed to enjoy them all, even though we have been to most of them many times already; Some of the venues, lobby and a few niches look good and subdued, classic but not too stuffy; The main dining room (Britannia) had a great dinner service, with nice offerings and wonderful friendly and professional waiters (thank you very much Lemoel and John Mark); On the stops where the way out of the port and into town were difficult or too long, we were offered free shuttle services, which worked very well and were very appreciated; The ship offered enough information and/or maps for the ports of call (not those basic maps that some cruise lines offer showing the points of “no” interest and shops affiliated with them); There were a few good shows onboard, nothing very good or extravagant like some other lines, but good enough.After 3 nights and 2 of which we could not sleep after 6am, we demanded a cabin switch; Bad service: with the exception of the dining room team in the evening, and a few bar waiters, the service on this ship was bad...."Read More

My wife and I just did a week long round trip from Barcelona. After our NCL cruise in August it was night and day. were all well organized. Embarkation was the easiest we ever did. From arrival top being in our cabin was 13 minutes. Staff very pleasant. Room was clean and organized. We had service twice a day( a lesson for some other cruise lines). Our attendant was tops and pro active without ...

know we have enough but Cunard is dropping there offer and standards! Cost saving - No chocolates in room on arrival or any nights inc gala night - have they stopped them - No Welcome drinks party from the captain! But was on the Victoria in July and they did the party- so why not now - No Bottle in room Princess grill only half bottle! - Same menus now for last 2 years - Has a chef ...

We chose Cunard again because we simply enjoy the gorgeous art deco interiors, superb British service, formality, dress codes, food and entertainment. We did a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 some years ago and simply loved it. That being said, we recognize that not everyone values such an experience. Cunard is NOT the line for you if you want ice skating rinks, climbing walls, go ...

I just returned from a seven night Mediterranean cruise on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth. Being Diamond level in Cunard's World Club I have sailed on all of their ships from QE2 to QM2 and Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. Cunard never disappoints. In my opinion Cunard is the most luxurious cruise line in the world and I have sailed with almost every other line. I describe Cunard ships as ...

Chose this ship since it was going through the panama canal, across the atlantic and on to the mediterranean. Worst staff ever! most staff were incompetent at their jobs, especially reception and pursers office. Many staff were outright rude! we have never seen such widespread rudeness on a cruise ship. Room steward LOCKED ME OUT on my patio and then blamed the door (said it locked ...

Though Cunard are not the cheapest, the whole experience was slick and smooth. We booked a Britannia balcony cabin, with coach transfer as part of the deal. Excellent coach to Southampton with two stops on the way. Arrived on time and in cabin within 30mins. We chose earlyt dining (6.30pm) on table of 8 and had good company - we moved round the table as the cruise progressed. Formal dress ...

We wanted a luxury ship for an 80th birthday celebration with an interesting itinerary and that’s what we got. We were in a Balcony cabin mid ships and we were able to enjoy room service breakfast on our balcony before excursions. The Britannia restaurant was excellent and all our meals were delicious apart from a tough piece of meat early in the cruise, but when I mentioned this to the head ...

Chose the Queen Elizabeth on this occasion as we wanted to sail from the UK. We did not consider PO this time as there standards on previous cruises has slipped too far. We travelled down on cruise connections service from Wetherby.this was the only do downside as the there was insufficient leg space on the coach. On arriving at Southampton we completed embarkation very quickly and within 10 ...
