The Carnivilazition of Cunard

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

I've sailed with Cunard since the days of the QE2. An all British crew where tuxes & food cooked at your table were the order of the day. Today the QM2 is nothing more than a Carnival ship in disguise. Embarkation at Red Hook was a total disaster. Cattle entering a slaughterhouse are treated better. Passengers were kept outside the terminal in 95 degree heat requiring medical attention. Once ...

We had not been on the QM2 in about 10 years and decided to grab a great deal for the 2022 Independence Week cruise. What a shock to find that she was not up to the standards that we were used to on the QM2. We usually book balcony but took an inside with the deal for this cruise. A mistake for us because we never had been in an inside cabin on any ship before and the small size and no ...

We have always said that we love the crossings and love the QM2. Indeed we have crossed the Atlantic about 13 times on the QM2. But the serious issues with this crossing make us wonder if we are making a poor choice and whether we will ever return. We did love the Chart Room and spent many hours there listening to delightful music and receiving excellent service. But hours spent in one bar ...

We chose this cruise mostly because we had to get from NY to Hamburg. We thought it would be a good alternative to flying, as we are both retired and have plenty of time. We enjoy cruising and have done over 50 cruises on various lines (Holland America is our favorite, especially for crossings). It was our first time with Cunard. 1. The ship is old and tired. A real rust bucket (even ...

Embarkation at new York was a nightmare staff faffing around not having a clue what they were doing approx 2 hrs of queing only to line up to queue again. Ship looks dull and dated not at all glamourous like going into an English town hall back in 1950 Food in main resturant was ok nothing special imo Food in buffet was good choice and better quality although the constant masks on/off ...

The first part of the cruise, Southampton to San Francisco in my case, was fine although there being only about 1300 passengers it was rather lifeless. The second part on entry to the Pacific was a disaster. Before reaching Manzanillo in Mexico the ship was rife with Covid. Both myself and wife were isolated in a state room reportedly with another 300 people supposedly. Whether one or two ...

This is my first cruise on QM2 after having lost my dear brother and sister in law within 5 days last year. Started off very well, poor tour in St Thomas but we did get a partial credit. Kings Court Is always very busy struggle to avoid other people when carrying food though the waiters do sometimes assist me if they see me struggling. Our steward was fantastic until he disappeared but was ...

Ideal cruise for a winter break, but we were not informed of the much reduced recreational facilities before we boarded. On board costs are eye-wateringly expensive, but staff were friendly and attentive. However, some staff had self modified face masks, which were open at the bottom. Also, the dining room tables were too close and the Theatre seats had little social distancing. Our only ship ...

Booked this on board QM2 when the QE's Asian itineraries were all scrapped. Crazy cheap price made this unmissable. Compared to the QM2 this is the inferior ship in almost every single area. The vaunted decoration of the ship looked a bit tacky, a bit Vegas casino, the public rooms felt cramped and crowded. You can't walk to the front of the ship, the gym seems tired. What most surprised ...

Those paying an ultra-premium price in Queens/Princess Grill will receive high quality dining and service in their private part of the ship. The rest(majority) of us will receive an experience far inferior to lines competing in this price tier(Celebrity,HAL,Princess). This Q. Elizabeth cruise displayed cost-cutting everywhere...even the limited floral displays were tiny! Quality and quantity of ...
