Cunard Senior Cruises Reviews

This was a bucket list item and I don't regret it, but it didn't live up to the hype especially the food. Embarkartion was disorganised and we were confidently directed into the wrong waiting area. Our Queen's Grill cabin was fine (large enough and quiet with a large balcony) but the dining room was small, noisy and very crowded. The maitre d' was all smiles but unwilling to put himself out. ...

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 ...

Celebrate 4th of July on a cruise - my first cruise with Cunard and my last. Embarkation was totally skewed. Ship arrived 6 hours late however there was no order to embarkation. No one had any idea what was happening and total disregard for communication to passengers. We waited over 6 hours to board all of which we were standing and not moving. Passengers were falling down and getting very ...

Our embarkation was a complete nightmare!!! The cruise was delayed 6 hrs, totally understandable given the circumstances. What wasn’t ok was the chaos that was referred to as embarkation. We stood on line for 3.5 hours. My husband’s back was so bad he didn’t recover the entire cruise. We tried to get him a wheelchair, totally impossible. There were so few available for many people. He took to ...

We thought it be nice to spend a week on QM2 and booked two Queen's Grill suites to travel with my family. However starting with a horrific boarding experience the cruise barley got any better for us. As other have posted, boarding the ship was total chaos. 4 hours of standing in line with no food or beverage is a horrible way to treat your guests. Zero priority given to Queens Grill guests ...

Cunard sent a rather casual email to passengers about a day before embarkation saying we should add 6 hours to our assigned boarding time due to a medical emergency. There was no other update from them so we added about about 5 hours to our boarding time only to find a very long queue and total chaos.As we waited we learned that some passengers never received an email informing of the 6 hour ...

I just got off the Queen Mary 2 on a 7-Day New York to Canada and return cruise. I must say I had great expectations for this cruise. However they were squashed immediately with the four and a half hour embarkation line at Brooklyn terminal. Lots of finger pointing going around as to why it took so long needless to say there was no first day at sea, no first evening dinner, no afternoon sail away, ...

This was our first time cruising on Cunard. We did a Viking Eastern Mediterranean cruise in October 2022 and it is still fresh in our memory. On a scale of 10, Cunard was at least 3 notches down from Viking. I would rate the Viking cruise as 8/10 and Cunard as 5/10. Mind you there is a price difference to consider. We have also done cruises on Azamara, Holland America and Celebrity. Our Cunard ...

In the wake of the the Halifax medical emergency delay and the horrible experience for those embarking after our Crossing, here are some thoughts to focus solely on our just finished TA experience. Note it’s our first time in “Grills” - PG for our 30th anniversary. Also, we’re not , we just like the Cunard vibe. Princess Grill Experience: Cabin is certainly a nice upgrade with tons of ...
