The itinerary seemed both exciting and romantic. Plus, there was no overseas travel involved for us (from Chicago). We were also looking to sail on the Queen Elizabeth. An unexpected bonus was successfully bidding on a Princess Grills cabin. Everything came together even better than we had hoped. We loved the QE and being in the Grills for 14 days was just amazing. The value is clearly there. The ...
This was our first time on QM2 since 2017 - we very much enjoyed this 4 night break in a deck 13 Britannia Club cabin. Here are my thoughts.
Cabin
Despite being adjacent to the door to the open deck, the location was generally pretty quiet. The Art Deco design highlights gave the cabin a nice touch of elegance. The shower with the glass door was great, good water pressure and consistent ...
We had been contemplating the idea of an Alaska cruise and when family friends invited us along on their Cunard Queen Elizabeth trip we were in (anything to escape the heat of TX in July & August). The Cunard website leaves much to be desired in terms of ease of navigation but we managed. Embarkation was smooth and hassle-free...we actually arrived about 1.5 hours earlier than our stated time at ...
The flight from Boston booked thru Cunard transfers to Vancouver Hotel Blu were perfect. (Two nights)
Cunard then transferred us to the ship terminal and help with luggage. Princess Grill Suite for 10 nights was everything we hoped for. Post trip excursion by Cunard to Vancouver and Grouise Mountain then drop off at airport was ideal.
We choose Cunard for the Britishness and we're not ...
QE was a beautiful ship; we really enjoyed the decor and accessibility of the ship. Although the sailing was booked full, it rarely felt there were too many people (i.e. breakfast in the Lido is a bit crazy). This ship is definitely for mature types since the crowd and actively level is more subdued than other lines. You can't say that about the ballroom! The dance floor was packed, and ...
On this cruise were myself, my husband and our 18 Yr old.
We were in suite 4102 and lucky enough to dine in the Princess Grill restaurant.

We mostly made good use of the Princess Grill restaurant where ...
An iconic route of Southampton to New York.
We had a princess grill suite.
Boarding was easy - we were able to walk past the big queue because we had a princess grill suite and pretty much get straight on the ship.
The room was comfortable. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine!
The bed was so cosy and we slept so well every night. They have UK plugs. The hair dryer isn’t ...
This transatlantic crossing was the second cruise of the "Three Cunard Queens" package we had booked and we were really looking forward to travelling on the world's only operational ocean liner.
Departure was from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and was conducted efficiently and our luggage was delivered quite quickly. Sailing out of New York past the Statue of Liberty then under the Verrazzano ...
This was our first cruise with Cunard and while we had previously read some saying it's standards had dropped, we can only say that those previous standards must have been off the top of the chart as we have no complaints at all with regard to the comfort (both our room and the general areas of the ship), the attentiveness of staff, the food and dining options, the on board activities (especially ...
My wife and I are both in our 60s, and have never cruised before. So please excuse any naïve comments resulting from our lack of experience!
We arrive in NYC in two days time, and let me say firstly that we have had a wonderful time. We booked a Britannia Club Balcony stateroom, which includes open dining in the excellent Britannia Club restaurant. Our stateroom was exactly as described, with ...
