1-10 of 195 Cunard Queen Victoria Cruise Reviews for Senior to Europe - British Isles & Western from Southampton
We sailed regularly with Cunard until 2018 so this was our first voyage for 5 years. It was a last minute booking 3 days before departure so a very hectic schedule arranging Insurance, parking , cat boarding and, of course packing. Unfortunately the usual converientl parking facilities were full so had to use a "Meet & Greet "service,which was not a very pleasant experience.We always prefer early ...
We had sailed in the Queen Elizabeth and 2018. This was our first ever cruise and we wanted to repeat the experience.
We were not disappointed. The service on Queen Victoria was excellent. From embarkation to to disembarkation, all our needs were catered for.
We used the Britannia restaurant on several evenings. The service was excellent but found the choice a little limited. The food ...
The Queen Victoria is a ship not a floating high rise hotel. Great service and excellent staff. It does seem to cater for an older clientele, some of whom could hardly walk. never the less a very enjoyable cruise. The Royal Court Theatre dancers were very talented but the routines are a little cheesy and I had seen some of the routines on previous cruises.
Food excellent and staff excelled. The ...
Well we have chosen the QV again and again so feel well placed to judge the steady and then more recently rapid decline of this tired old ship. No more QVic we won’t be sailing with you again.
This itinerary was recommended to us - Princess Grills - and it’s not the staff who are letting it down but the now tired ship. One plug with no charging points for phones just not good enough nowadays. ...
Pros: Booking in and boarding ship was very well organised, and we had no issues. Elegant ship in good repair with all of the facilities you would wish for. Excellent food at all levels and entertainment which caters for all. Cabin steward was attentive efficient and friendly. Public areas very clean and Queens Room especially very elegant and used a lot for dancing and concerts. Theater ...

Dinning
We mostly made good use of the Princess Grill restaurant where ...
We departed Southampton and followed Norwegian Prima out of the port and into the English Channel. This seven night cruise was the third and final part of our "Three Cunard Queens" holiday and took us to the majestic fjords of southern Norway.
This ship is in great shape and the interior is opulent and elegant throughout. We noticed that exterior handrails were very weathered and required ...
This one week cruise, from 18-25 June, was our first since the autumn of 2019, when we were also on Queen Victoria.
Itinerary
This included four ports- La Coruña, Gijón, Bilbao and Cherbourg - and 2 sea days. The itinerary is being repeated later in the summer. The ports were all new to us - we didn’t do any tours, just stayed and explored locally. These were all pleasant places to spend ...
Trip 12 days Norway - not fjords as advertised as we skirted the coast.
Pros: First time on Cunard and personally we loved the actual ship and the crew. Our steward was very attentive, nothing was a problem, thank you John. The staff in the dining room and Lido also very attentive and polite. We only took in one show which was very enjoyable. Lovely string trio. Food was in abundance. Only ...
I was unfortunately quarantined with Covid for the middle six days of this cruise, and therefore had not intended to write a review, because my impressions would be at best partial. Nonetheless I am doing so because my perceptions are at variance with some of the more negative comments in other reviews, and I felt there should be some balance.
So, the good points.
Firstly, universally, the ...
