We have sailed only with RCI before. We have been getting more and more disappointed with RCI standards and thought we would try Cunard. Being 51 years old, we were a little concerned that Cunard would be too formal and 'sedate' for us. We needn't have worried. We found the whole Cunard experience brilliant, and it put RCI to shame with the level of care and detail Cunard put in to ensure your ...
We travelled with friends and liked the itiniery, especially Venice and Lake Garda (this was an add on arranged by Imagine cruising. I use a wheelchair and gave all dimensions to Cunard before setting off. Despite this, my chair would not fit through the cabin door. The "stateroom" was just very average and not very big so my chair, even when folded, took up a lot of space. We ate in the ...
Last minute deal that visited ports we had not seen before.
Nice ship, mid size, almost exactly like Holland America one we used last year but not so flashy.
Food was better on Cunard, staff were excellent, entertainment reasonable, thrilled to see Bill Bryson. Concord pilot very interesting.
Ports were good and interesting except for Zandar, which was a waste of time. Loved Kotor. ...
First off, let me say the ONLY reason I'm taking the time to write this review is because of the constant nickle and diming of Cunard and their stingy ways. Otherwise I'd have just blown even the extra $3,500 off. But they're just stingy and to the bone.
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary mostly - however, I am confused why we called a couple ports - and because of Cunard's ...
We chose this cruise due to the price and itinerary - we wanted interesting sights to view at the ports which we could undertake ourselves without purchasing excursions we embarked in Rome and after a day at sea travelling past Stromboli and through the Messina Strait we called at Brindisi Puglia, Kotor Montenegro, Dubrovnik Croatia, Day at Sea, Venice Italy, and finally Trieste Italy where we ...
We originally booked this cruise to experience a different cruise line, and port destinations, expecting to have a great first class summer escape from our winter. Regrettably reality did not meet expectation.
Embarcation went very well but was spoiled by an unpleasant smell from the embarkation deck that never seemed to go away. Disembarcation also was one of the best we have ...
There's a lot to like about QV, but the food in the Britannia dining room, an important part of cruising, is not one of them. Tough steaks, dry roast pork, tasteless sea bass, endless steamed vegetables, in fact the only way to describe the meals is ordinary. Except perhaps for the deserts there was very little else that was delicious. Also strange combinations of ingredients e.g. a slice of cold ...
We are first time cruisers and were looking for a good first impression. The Queen Victoria didn't let us down. The cabin was superb (Deck 8 forward balcony), the food also well prepared and presented (the wait staff were excellent) and the overall service was faultless.
We declined the automatic gratuities (tips) and a simple request at the Pursers Office had these taken from our onboard ...
This was our fifth cruise on Queen Victoria but the first in the Grills for several years. Queens Grill was an affordable price on this trip and it was part of a birthday treat.
We flew from Heathrow Airport on a British Airways scheduled flight leaving at 7.05 am. The flight was fine, I had been able to pre-book seats a few days earlier via Cunard and as we couldn't check in online we were ...
This was our 3rd sailing with Cunard, I was a little apprehensive as we had previously sailed on QM2.but we were not to be dissapointed .The ship was fabulous.The transfer from Rome to ship was good, embarkation was very fast , ten minutes from arriving at the ship.Got to our cabin 8112, the luggage was already in the stateroom.We were greeted by Nelson our steward who did a first class job of ...
