Cunard Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

Massive fail from Cunard. I've been on more than 15 cruises. Loved everyone one of them, and am constantly amazed at whingers (but sadly the experience on Queen Elizabeth has made me a whinger this time).The service on Australia's P&O is dramatically superior to Queen Elizabeth (and that says a lot as they are generally recognised as the entry level cruise company in Australia). We compared ...

Queen Elizabeth offers beautiful surroundings, great cruise destinations, good value, an outstanding lecture component, stunning public spaces and a feeling of elegance and comfort throughout, but in my opinion fails when it comes to hospitality. We joined for the Sydney to Kobe component of the World Cruise. We were a party of 7 friends with 5 staterooms. Our balcony stateroom was quite ...

Cunard was the only shipping line I considered. Reason being, that the choice was about the class and quality of the ship and its services, what a misguided perception. Sadly Cunard no longer represent either their own publicity nor their past. Verve afternoon tea was a no show with no prior notice. Normal afternoon tea on Queens Room was a sad affair of bland slightly stale sandwiches, scones ...

we chose this ship to celebrate our Diamond wedding anniv on the day of departure (I was actually born on the day QM was launched) and its juicy itinerary. .having cruised about 120 times all around the world the three places that had most appeal were first timers for us Okinawa, Taiwan & Brunei persuaded us to pay up 16 months before cruise commenced. imagine our horror when we received an email ...

We have cruised 5 times on other lines but this was a "Bucket List" cruise for us. We felt we were very lucky to get any disability cabin, let alone in Princess Grill. Embarkation in Sydney was fairly smooth, and we were on board in about 30 minutes, with our luggage waiting for us at the suite. We have a small electric wheelchair which is the same size as a normal wheelchair, but entry through ...

We paid a huge sum for 18 nights in top Queens Grill class. I found very little in return from Cunard/Carnival. We were not shown to our cabin (we did not know this ship). Except for breakfast the food did not reflect the flowery language of the menu. Food quality was not what I expected.Room service food poor.After we moved tables we were very happy with our waiters and we were also ...

We boarded QE In Sydney for a trip of a lifetime visiting mostly Japan on a leg of their World Voyage with some trepidation after a bad experience on QM2 last year. Worst cabin on the ship allocated to us in the week prior to sailing (38 days is a long cruise for such an "upgrade"????) . Numerous complaints every day on deaf ears finally cost us more than we paid for original cruise to be able to ...

The ship was cold 18-19 degrees - staff didn't respond until the last few days of cruise and then temperature rose to other extreme 28 degrees. Passengers all developed illness whilst on board. Some staff were very good but generally staff needed customer service training. The ship ran out of basic supplies like cough medicine, hot chocolate, berries etc which meant passengers had to buy their ...

My wife and I took the QM2 from Sydney to Perth Australia in March 2013. We had not been on a big ship at sea before so our expectations were based on the glowing reviews we had read and Cunards claim of 5 star service. We now understand that we have been spoiled by our river cruising experiences in Europe. We booked QM2 through Cruise Republic (CR) because we could not get a booking ...
