Twenty-Seven Days on the QM2

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

We travelled across the Atlantic, to the Caribbean and back to NYC then back across the Atlantic in November / December. Booking and Boarding We booked a saver fare a long time ago and hence did not have an allocated cabin other than that we were guaranteed a balcony with a sea view. Three days before departure, a cabin allocation silently appeared online in our account with Cunard and later ...

This cruise was a bucket list for my DH, as I prefer ports and warmer weather. He had hopes of all things British and the ship did not disappoint. He enjoyed high tea and great conversations with our fellow passengers, many who were from the UK. I enjoyed it as well, especially the Cunard Insight's talks. One speaker was a Forensic Medical Examiner and he was fantastic! Every day, there was a ...

Carnival is trading on Cunard's reputation

I have always wanted to cross the USA by train, and since Covid, I have lost any appetite I had for flying. The QM2 gave me the opportunity to sail to the US, travel across the US by train both ways, stay a few nights on the West Coast, and pick up the QM2 from New York back to the UK. The time gap between the outward voyage on 13th November and the homeward voyage on the 3rd December - 12 ...

We missed a cruise due to the pandemic so focused on “the future” which finally arrived November 1, 2022. Mister wanted to see the Northern Lights. I wanted to see Norway. Perfect. We booked everything through Cunard, including airport-hotel and (returning) port-airport. This review will also include a subsequent TA Southampton to NY Vacation got off to an inauspicious start as we arrived at ...

Not as good as expected...

Interesting to read other recent reviews - our experiences were very similar. It wasn't a bad cruise and there were highlights - we enjoyed our cabin and the housekeeper was generally good - but otherwise we left thinking that we wouldn't rush back to Cunard. Service was our biggest gripe- Britannia restaurant was very hit and miss - one head waiter actually told me off loudly for sitting at a ...

Reports of QM2’s demise are very premature. It’s not tatty, it’s not falling apart. An odd bit of rust, but the interior looks stunning and in good nick. Sailed Queens Grill so comments may not apply to other cabins. Cabin was lovely. I think PG cabin would be fine next time. The butler and his assistant were fantastic, as was the standard of service everywhere (May be a touch slow in the ...

People complaining about QM2 must be looking for problems. Loved everything about our trip, food was great, service was 1st class. Mostly ate in Britannia Club but did also use Golden Lion and Kings buffet sometimes. Good choice of food for for every meal, food was very good and staff very attentive. Bar staff very good in every bar we had been in from Commodore to G32. Good choice of ...

It's definitely not the cream of the crop - it barely rises to the top! - Neither worth the money nor the experience.

Celebrating a 25-year wedding anniversary of friends. Check-in was slow and tedious. Personnel unable to properly read vaccination certificates (due to dates in UK and USA being written differently!). Debarkation was an absolut disaster. They blamed it on the US Authorities. Not sure it's to be believed. The dress code, although highly-touted, was neither applied nor enforced. Don't bother ...

Background We are in our early 60's, still in work and with the exception of a couple of common health issues that are well controlled, we are very mobile. We enjoy all manner of holidays including but not limited to villa holidays, city breaks and cruises (with the very occasional camping trip thrown in) We tend to go with the flow, we don't feel we are demanding or high maintenance and ...

Didn’t live up to the hype

First of all, I am a very experienced cruiser including very high end like Regent and more moderate lines like Celebrity. I was very excited to sail on Cunard as I had heard so much praise and accolades for the white star service, the food and the elegance of the ship. So my perspective is comparing to what I know of other lines. First of all, the good. Hands down, the cocktails are the ...
