Appalling Customer Service by Cunard

We had a very pleasant 14 day cruise with Cunard - we stayed in a Q4, Queens Suite. The cabin was comfortable and our butler, Alex, was superb. It's an elegant, albeit very dated, ship (particularly the yellowing ...

"NEWLY WEDS OR NEARLY DEADS"

Time for Cunard to rethink their strategy as they will soon be running out of customers. Baby Boomers will be up next and they will demand so much more. Overall a nice vacation because we basically ignored what ...
