Cunard Santiago (Valparaiso) Cruise Reviews

The cruise visited places that were not easily accessed by road. The ports and opportunity to visit Macchu Piccu was amazing. The Panama Canal transit was fascinating. However, we felt the Queen Vic could do better. Why with all the focus on ocean environmental responsibility does the ship use plastic cotton buds( refer David Attenborough,) plastic straws, plastic spoons, endless small ...

The itinerary appealed to me and the time of year was perfect. I was led to believe that Cunard were an upmarket company but several things were not up to standard.

I have cruised approximately 18 times prior, and had upmost expectations for the QM2 I assume ...
