1-10 of 14 Cunard Queen Victoria Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Eastern Caribbean
I only have a few observations:
Overall, the staff was genial and helpful
My room steward was excellent, well trained and responsive.
Bar service in the Chartroom was expert, cheerful and well trained; they ran out of my preferred brand. The competence of the Wine Waiters in Britannia was very uneven; some were excellent and others needed more training.I also perceived a shortage of ...
We chose Victoria again as it was going to Rio de Janeiro including a long trip along the Amazon. We started from Southampton and flew back from Rio. The ship carried on finally returning to Southampton. On board all food in the Britannia, Lido and Verandah restaurants was excellent. Staff service in all areas was also excellent. The ship's condition was very good overall and for those yet to ...
The service in the Britannia restaurant was as great as always. But the weather across the Atlantic was dreadful. We were late into Bermuda and Port Canaveral. The Churchill cigar lounge was full of cigarette smokers and resembled the Dog and Duck pub rather than an intimate cigar lounge as it is advertised. Day activities were poor and because of the weather the decks were often closed. ...
Our most recent cruise was with Cunnard on the Queen Victoria for fifty days circling South America. We chose this cruise for it's exciting itinerary. We had not previously cruised with Cunnard but were looking forw ard to it's legendary excellence.
The ship was beautifully appointed and well maintained. The staff and service at dinner, in the lounges, and shops was excellent. The cabin ...
We recently sailed South America 50 days roundtrip from/to Fort Lauderdale on Queen Victoria.
Main reason for selecting this cruise was the destination ports of - Barbados, Rio, B Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, Lima, Montechristo, Equador home of Panama Hats and passage through the Panama Canal - Belize was also a pleasant surprise.
The service we received from our cabin steward and restaurant ...
Wife did not want to fly long distance to winter sun.
This was good value for money, no flying and no luggage restrictions.
The ship was excellent, crew very attentive, entertainment good and varied, food good, weather variable but warmed up as we neared the Caribbean. Been there many times so did no tours. Appreciated the presence of a bridge director for organised duplicate competitions on ...
we were picked up by coach and had a great journey down and embarkation was quick and easy.
The ship was great and the food was excellent.
The entertainment was very good but we are getting a bit fed up of Roy Walker who seems
to have been on every cruise we have had.
We had a couple of stormy days one was a force 10 the day after leaving Ponta Delgarda
and the other one was ...
We chose this cruise to get some winter sun without needing to fly. The ship is fabulous and most of the staff were 2nd to none though we felt there could have been more staff especially in the Britannia restaurant where they were rushed off their feet. .
Embarkation was very smooth and hassle free. We were in our cabin in no time and our luggage arrived soon after. The cabin was accessible and ...
A customary trip to the Caribbean in Princess grill, the suite was fine with a very efficient cabin attendant, the kitchens made a good efforts with the food and the service in the Princess Grill was commendable. The Concierge Seltran Ebillo was personable and efficient. The evenings entertainment was good particularly from the group called the Rewind Project.
However the trip itself ...
The food was mediocre, but after all they're British. The movies and videos in the theater were often disasters. The one film my wife and I saw, La La Land, stopped at least eight times during the presentation. Other guests told me their films were equally bad and at least one of the lectures had similar problems. When I complained, I was stunned how unconcerned the staff was. The other ...
