Cunard Hamburg Cruise Reviews

I am an experienced cruiser. Now I finally decided to try the iconic QM2. I admit I had quite high expectations, unfortunately not all of them were met. PROS The embarkation process in Hamburg was very quick. There were no queues at all, it took us maybe 15 minutes to get on board. The dining experience on board was excellent. The service in the Princess Grill restaurant was very ...

We were on the post-remastering cruise for the QM2, boarding in Hamburg immediately after the dry dock. We love the QM2 and love the experience of transatlantic crossings.

The ship came highly recommended by my cruise partner who had been on the QM previously. His thinking was that crossing the Atlantic on a ship was much preferable to sitting in a coach seat on an transatlantic flight. That part was correct. In ...

My partner and I just returned from a May 2011 transatlantic crossing on the QM II from Hamburg to New York with a stop at Southampton. This was our second crossing on the QM II, and overall, we were disappointed. Here are some things we learned.A huge number of (mostly German) people take the two-night trip from Hamburg to Southampton (1800 on our trip). This transformed the QM II into a mostly ...
