Ideal cruise for a winter break, but we were not informed of the much reduced recreational facilities before we boarded. On board costs are eye-wateringly expensive, but staff were friendly and attentive. However, some staff had self modified face masks, which were open at the bottom. Also, the dining room tables were too close and the Theatre seats had little social distancing. Our only ship ...
This was our first Cunard cruise, having been on more than 10 cruises with Celebrity and Princess. The Cunard cache lured us into trying them. We were impressed by the Princes grill, we liked the restaurant and private decks available to us.Service in these areas was very good. There was no need to reserve sunbeds which was great.
We noticed that the overall condition of the Queen Elizabeth ...
Whilst this was a short cruise to Belgium I do wonder if Cunard are even bothered about missed opportunities with "new to the brand" cruisers. We are 'suite' cruisers 2-3 times a year and in our 40's, surely a demographic the company might be keen to impress for our future cruise dollars?
As Queens Grill guests we were allowed to the front of the line but very little else to impress or ...
This is the first time we (a group of 20 seniors) cruised on one of the "Queen" ships and after hearing our friend's positive ratings on the Queen Mary, we were really looking forward to some good times on the QE. The embarkation process was swift and efficient.
The staff was friendly and informative. So a good start to the cruise.
When we reached our cabin, the room steward dropped by ...
We chose this cruise for its itinerary and that it sailed from Southampton so no flying. Embarkation was seamless and our bags arrived promptly. The Cabin was fine (7090 balcony). On deck seven midship. The bathroom was small especially the shower with a cheap curtain. Bed was very comfortable and our cabin steward was great and saw to our every need. We had trouble with the air conditioning in ...
Chose this cruise because I wanted to be in Madeira for the firework display and to spend Christmas on board.
Service was very poor, the staff looked tired and everything was an effort.
The food in the Lido buffet was not replenished fast enough, e.g. when one quarter of tomato is sitting alone in the tray it should have been replaced before it got that low.
I had to ask for cuttlery in ...
We chose this cruise having previously travelled with celebrity and expecting the Cunard name to be synonymous with quality.
It seems that the name Cunard was acquired but most of the quality of service and cache associated with the name was lost.
The buffet food was excellent but in all honesty was the only area other than the general style of the ship, that came even close to surpassing ...
This was our first cruise with Cunard after 14 years cruising with P&O. We were expecting a much better standard but were very disappointed.
The Britannia Restaurant was not of the standard we were expecting in regards of the food, it was at times very poor and not much of it and certainly not fine dining. One of the guests on our table sent their food back because it was cold, also our meals ...
We chose Cunard and Queen Elizabeth to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. We wanted to have a few days away on a luxury cruise-liner.
Regrettably Queen Elizabeth and its staff just did not live up to our lowest expectation.
The only positive was embarkation at Southampton and having our luggage in our stateroom very speedily.
Stateroom, in our opinion poor, it was small and the ...
Just got off Cunards Queen Elizabeth with 5 Family members I have traveled with 5 different Cruise companies This was my first cruise with Cunard that I thought would be a bit highbrow for my taste
. How wrong was I. The service was very slow the quickest I got a drink order to our table was 20 mins the slowest just under hour and I am not making this up the food in the Brittania restaurant was ...
