Quite possibly our last ever Cunard cruise - The "Fine Line" was anything but.

There were so many problems with this special trip, that its hard to know where to start. Lots of other passengers felt exactly the same way. We have no intention on travelling with Cunard again, unless they do something to make amends. Firstly the big one - being lied to by Cunard, and then this being spun as a "unique opportunity". The ship was faulty, and had been arranged to go into dry ...

Having sailed many times with Cunard we looked forward to the Christmas / New Year cruise. We were supposed to have priority boarding - didn't happen. We had asked to be seated on a table for 8 for the evening meal. Didn't happen - got a table for 4 and maitre d' not interested. No cocktail parties - because of Covid but 1000+ people dined together at each sitting and similar numbers in the ...

WE chose this cruise , as being frequent cruisers on other lines we had heard of Cunard 5 star reputation? It was to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary and a 70th Birthday so very special. We found the ship despite the Christmas decorations tired and cold particularly in the dining and public areas, The food was good, but limited and repetitive in main dining and the buffet ...

Cruise to Canaries for winter sun, spoilt by below average food. We cruised on Cunard 5 times, two on Queen Elizabeth, One on Queen Mary and Two on Queen Victoria. The last on Queen Victoria and never again. We have cruised many times mostly with Oceania and Regent Seven Seas. Our last two cruises have been with Cunard on Queen Victoria in a Princess grill suite and MSC Bellissima in ...

We have sailed several times on Victoria, always in Princess Grills, and loved it. This time the room was dirty, and very noisy. The ship was under crewed and no one seemed very happy. The room was not cleaned until mid to late afternoon, which is unusual and was very inconvenient. The ship was very noisy with the infrastructure creaking and groaning 24/7 The food was adequate but not of the ...

My partner is a florist. We chose the cruse "Festival of flowers" because we thought it would be interesting from his line of work. We assumed the ship would be full of flowers There was one main arrangement in the lobby which was dead and was for most of the cruise. When I mentioned this I was told by one of the purcers " I don't like flowers" the food in the Britainia Resteraunt was bland, ...

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 rouched curtains in the Queens Grill - someone please give them a wash!). Disembarkation was a complete fiasco - disorganised, chaotic and took over an hour to reach the gangway from ...

This was a trip with my husband and my 85 year old mother who was bereaved 6 months ago. My husband and I have cruised many times before with Cunard. First the good points, as always the cleaning, cabin, waiters etc staff second to non. They work hard and are paid little but do it all with a smile fantastic. The ship was spotless, lovely. Now the poor points. My mother needed assistance ...

My wife & I have just been on Cunard's Queen Victoria to Portugal, Spain Madeira & the Canaries. If we didn't know better we might never go on a cruise again due to our experience. Fortunately we do know better having previously cruised on the Celebrity Constellation. Here's why we'll not cruise with Cunard again; Food Much of the food was of works canteen quality. Bananas so bruised & ...
