Review for Oceana to Middle East

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s
We chose this cruise to experience the Suez Canal and Dubai.
To celebrate our anniversary and my birthday.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 9 which was a good size with ample storage, and lots of mirrors.
Take an extension lead as there was only one British socket which was on the far side of the dressing table.
The bathroom was tiny and you need to dry off in the shower, which only had ...

Review for Queen Mary 2 (QM2) to Middle East

This is a tricky review to write. We spent 19 days on the Queen Mary 2, and it was a lovely break. We’ve often cruised before, but this was the first with Cunard who came recommended. We booked the Queen’s Grill service – this is the First Class tier, and as Cunard claims the First Class level in general, I suppose this was the First Class of the First Class. So we had high expectations.
The ...

The smoothest cruise I’ve ever had according to our captain, and he was right there was hardly a ripple from start to finish. We boarded Oceana in Southampton on a cold January morning at the “Queens terminal” which was not very royal, and we embarked in no time at all for our 20 night journey to Dubai. The whole of the cruise was a flat as a pancake, with excellent smooth seas all the ...

We choose this cruise as some of my family were cruising all the way to Perth on this cruise, we are still working and could not afford the time off
Embarkation was a bit slow but that was due to the staff having to check the visas for India
The ship is a lovely size not too big
Our cabin was very well situated for the pool and cafe caribe at the rear of the ship
The food was always ...

I boarded the balmoral on jan 4 in southampton as a solo traveller , going thru passport control and the embarkation was nice and easy well organized.
I had a nice cabin ( my home for the next 4 months ) it was an inside cabin but no matter, my plan was to spend as much time around the ship doing things as possible. I chose to eat in the Psalms the self service restaurant, there was a great ...

First impressions are always the ones that last the longest and our first impression of our holiday with Cunard on board their Queen Mary 2 hasn't been the most pleasant.
In fact as time and incidents have passed I have become quite nit-pickie.
I suppose having as a child travelled quite extensively I felt Cunard would have the edge on its organisation quality and service.
The first hiccup was ...

We chose this cruise to Dubai with Cunard as it included the Suez Canal and Egypt. We were supposed to visit Cairo (Pyramids) and Luxor (Tombs) in the Middle East but due to passenger and crew safety issues this was substituted with Aqaba (Petra) and Fujairah (Maiden Port) prior to cruise via email. We rang and tried to cancel cruise but was told this was not a significant change!
Cruise didn't ...

Having had a wonderful experience on Queen Victoria, last April we booked the first leg of the 2015 QM2 World Tour and waited with eager anticipation for our visits to Spain, Italy, Luxor and the Pyramids. Disembarking in Dubai.
Firstly, the good points. Our embarkation was excellent, although I believe later arrivals experienced chaos. The main lobby is very impressive, beds exceptionally ...

My wife and myself saw this cruise to Dubai advertised and jumped at the opportunity to book this cruise,and how disappointed we are with the cruise. The first ports of call were good although we had been to 2 of them with P&O, but after leaving Italy the cruise went completely down hill.
To begin with I think Cunard covered-up the fact that the Suez Canal was being dredged and they did not know ...

Joined QM2 for the first leg of the round the world cruise, through the Med, Suez Canal and onto Dubai. What a disappointment, starting with 3 hour wait standing in the Shed to get. On. could
Could Cunard not organise for its passengers to sit down in empty lounge if they were going to take that long to board passengers.
The ship is tired and shows it's age, the burst water pipes at 3 in the ...
