Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Arcadia

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Having been on numerous cruises before we decided to book the world cruise with P&O. What a mistake we made. A captain for the first leg of the cruise to Australia accusing the passengers of being dirty by bringing illness on board. a very arrogant attitude. Fort Lauderdale was a nightmare as there were only two shuttle buses available ( Capt stated 7 were ordered but only 2 turned up. What did ...

It was my 70 th Birthday so we flew to Southampton to board QM2.
We are diamond members.
Apart from our room leaking from a broken toilet next door for a week ( again) being moved to a room that had unstable floors for a night ( as it wasn’t fit for anyone to live in) terrible waiters who reached across the table and your meal to pick up your wine and smell it
The list goes on. I am on ...

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Arcadia
Pelincan
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
Opportunity to transit Panama Canal.Embarkation excellent. Cabin reasonable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Sam for port excursion talks- excellent and Albano our cabin steward who was excellent. Misty Blue trio very good and sail away parties enjoyable. Downside lack of dress code enforcement- on formal nights people seen in shorts, t shirts which spoils it for those making ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Queen Elizabeth

10+ Cruises • Age 80s
Took easiest and most comfortable way to meet Oceania Nautica in Cape Town. Excellent port calls. Better than flying. 5* Art Deco furnishings. 3* service. Staff does not smile and does not greet guests unless guest talks first. Service seemed to be a burden on crew. Our cabin steward was the exception. Smaller than Phone booth size showers drove many to use showers in the fitness center. Balcony ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Queen Elizabeth
Fairplay
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose this cruise as an opportunity to visit some places we’d never seen and get away from a grey British winter.
Cunard has a problem. They seem to be massively popular with the over 75s but leave the ‘younger pensioner’ wondering whether they really care. The entertainment is poor, comedians that have struggled to leave 1973 behind, lectures about the lives of singers my Nan adored (and ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Queen Elizabeth

This cruise was a fun way to get to our holiday in South Africa as it went from Southampton to Cape Town. The cabin, public rooms, lectures and art gallery were all great.
We were travelling in Queens Grill and were presented with wonderful menus but the food that came from the kitchen (as opposed to being cooked at the table) arrived dry. We complained twice but nothing changed, I suspect ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
This is an honest, tell it how it is review. Being wholly objective, it may also carry a little excess baggage as I, a 63 year old, grappling with the transition from being a 2-4 week holidaymaker to a world traveller!
Passengers who joined the ship for a three week leg, might view the ship’s offerings and routines as fresh and new. Such customers might reasonably be considered as ...

Two captains, two deputy captains, two entertainment managers and eighty two nights later, we reflect on a much anticipated cruise experience.
Positives:
Arcadia is a comfortable ship...like an old armchair.
Overall, the dining experience was good (Belvedere excluded).
Entertainment; the Headliners Company were exceptional.
Some wonderful ports of call Alotau, San Francisco, Napier, ...

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Emerald Princess
Innishmore
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
This was a relocation cruise and so there were quite a few 3,4,5, seadays. This was our 6 Princess cruise and by far the worst, the standards on the ship entertainment and food has dropped to a very poor level. My Wife and I purchases top drinks package and at Singapore we were told that the 2 top wines we liked had run out and there was no more and they would not be getting more before Australia. ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on Queen Elizabeth

Having cruised 34 times before Cunard's Queen Elizabeth, I can offer a perspective on how QE compares to other lines.
Our embarkation at Southampton was smooth. No issues with luggage or transport to pier. The layout of the ship is great.
Seating in the dining room for the evening is by table assignment at an assigned time. Cunard requires a dark suit or tux for formal nights for the men ...
