Just before Christmas we returned to the Queen Mary 2, doing our very favorite itinerary, a Westbound Crossing. As this was a somewhat last-minute “live for today” splurge, we booked into the Queens Grill experience.
Yes, we’ve enjoyed trips on the QM2 six times before and have done eight crossings (counting roundtrips as two) with more scheduled in May 2020 and 2021. Yes indeed, we love the ...
As a critic, it becomes a nightmare to fulfil your dreams, as you are always on duty you never switch of. I choose Queen Mary2 because I still believe she is the most elegant ocean liner that’s sails, awaiting the new queen, many whispers on what she will be called “Queen Anne” is my answer now to wait and see, the cruise set sail and began its magnificent voyage to New York seven sea days. I was ...
Having last sailed the TransAtlantic crossing on the Old Girl the QE2 in 1993, our trip to Europe from NYC coincided with the QM2's early November sailing date, so we decided to take the ship instead of flying. The Old Girl was just so amazing, and she was missed.
And we decided that the only way to go was the Queen's Grill, as we had done before on our last Cunard cruise in 2008 just before ...
This was my first cruise and I was not looking forward to it! However, the transatlantic crossing was high on my husband’s bucket list, so I booked a Princess Grill cabin for the 7 night cruise to New York. Embarkation from Southampton was fast, greetings from the crew as we boarded were lacklustre and we could have had some help as we wandered around looking for our cabin. However, on entering ...
Just returned from three back to back cruises aboard QM2.....two across the Atlantic and one from New York to the Caribbean. I fine it hard to fault any aspect of the total package that they offer, as its level of quality and service almost harkens back to a bygone age. Throughout the 27 days the consistent level of service from the whole crew was exceptional; be it the cabin steward, the bar ...
Our first Transatlantic crossing on QM2. We had a great time,had an inside cabin which was roomy and very comfortable. The 7 days at sea passed very quickly, plenty to do on board if you wanted to be busy , plenty of places to just sit and relax to read a book if relaxing was a priority.
Enjoyed the formal and themed evenings, for us the whole point is keeping up with traditional dress ...
i did a three day new york and transatlantic crossing trip the queen mary 2 was absolutely breathtaking it is huge i had paid for an inside stateroom but was wonderfully surprised to find i had been upgraded to an outside stateroom with a balcony the room was beautiful everything you would need our room was tended to by a man called caesar who could not do enough for us he was always very cheerful ...
My wife and I embarked at Southampton for a 29 night Christmas and New Year cruise on board Queen Mary 2 . aptly entitled by Cunard as a 'Grand Caribbean Celebration'. As it turned out we were amongst the seven hundred or so passengers who were doing the full 29 nights, the balance of the 2,500 passengers on this, the first of three legs, opting just for the single west bound Atlantic ...
