Cunard Queen Victoria Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Europe

I couldn't afford a Christmas cruise so opted for this one. Really wish I hadn't as so many things in the room went wrong all cruise and on the last night KPOP/Bollywood music blaring out on deck one which could be heard from the lifts by the atrium. Cruise Director thought it was fine to have this music disturbing everyone because it was motivational! What a load of claptrap. He then lied ...

Our 5th time on QV and our 7th with Cunard we have always gone Grills for an expensive treat but,due to rapidly falling standards and rapidly increasing prices in Grills, we opted to try Brittania Class and were pleasantly surprised. Boarding was QE2 Terminal and was a bit shambolic because ,as usual,lots of people ignored their allocated time turning up hours early and the place was manic ...

Since my husband passed away, I have travelled on 6 Cunard cruises as a solo passenger. Since COVID the first thing that you notice is the lack of staff which makes things awkward for solos. On the first evening there used to be a solo travellers get together where the Social Host/Hostess and Dance Hosts would make you feel welcome (with a glass of bubbly) and get you talking to other solo ...

Well we have chosen the QV again and again so feel well placed to judge the steady and then more recently rapid decline of this tired old ship. No more QVic we won’t be sailing with you again. This itinerary was recommended to us - Princess Grills - and it’s not the staff who are letting it down but the now tired ship. One plug with no charging points for phones just not good enough nowadays. ...

Cunard really need to get it’s act together, the ship is failing in so many areas. Constantly changing the excursion itinerary, length of stay at ports, even the various destinations of the cruise is both annoying and frustrating. Information provided via the pamphlets left in cabin bare no relationship to the information on their onboard website. Confuse the two at your peril - cancellation ...

** We chose this cruise because we wanted to spend Christmas and New Year on a cruise and we particularly wanted to see the New Year fireworks in Madeira as well as liking the varied itinerary.. ** It was trouble free embarkation - very well organised. ** My partner wanted to be on Cunard as he has always appreciated Cunard's style. There were some very good moments and some that were a bit ...

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 ...

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 ...
