A quick review of our Southampton to New York QM2 crossing, 19-26 Nov. I booked this trip last minute in October when I spotted a “too good to miss” deal on a sheltered verandah cabin. Only after booking did I realise that it was a literary crossing, which was a bonus! The ship was just out of dry dock after a refit, that included new carpets, reupholstered chairs and a beautiful new floor ...

We LOVED our trip in the Queens Grill arbors the Queen Mary 2. What a magnificent ship. Our penthouse suite was beautifully appointed with every luxury we could want, including a bathtub long enough for my 6’2” frame to stretch out in. Meals were wonderful, especially the Concierge who went out of his way to provide us with special meals and suggestions. Unfortunately all of these good ...

Booked a 4 night cruise to Hamburg and back from Southampton with the thought if we enjoyed the experience we would then consider a transatlantic next year. Firstly the ship is absolutely stunning, the art deco design combined with modern touches was more than I had hoped for. The lounges were all spacious, never had a problem finding a seat and the waiting staff in all areas were ...

This was our first time on QM2 since 2017 - we very much enjoyed this 4 night break in a deck 13 Britannia Club cabin. Here are my thoughts. Cabin Despite being adjacent to the door to the open deck, the location was generally pretty quiet. The Art Deco design highlights gave the cabin a nice touch of elegance. The shower with the glass door was great, good water pressure and consistent ...

An iconic route of Southampton to New York. We had a princess grill suite. Boarding was easy - we were able to walk past the big queue because we had a princess grill suite and pretty much get straight on the ship. The room was comfortable. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine! The bed was so cosy and we slept so well every night. They have UK plugs. The hair dryer isn’t ...

My wife and I are both in our 60s, and have never cruised before. So please excuse any naïve comments resulting from our lack of experience! We arrive in NYC in two days time, and let me say firstly that we have had a wonderful time. We booked a Britannia Club Balcony stateroom, which includes open dining in the excellent Britannia Club restaurant. Our stateroom was exactly as described, with ...

There are already some reviews of the voyage from June 9th to June 23rd - so I thought I have to throw in my two cents...! This voyage marked my 10th voyage on QM2- so kind of a little Jubilee. Two voyages with QV and QE throwen in. I rebooked to this voyage after I had to cancel my planed Transatlantic in April for some family issues- turned out that both legs of said TA- Crossing where ...

We are relative newcomers to Cunard, prior to this having been on one very brief (4 day) trip on QM2 and one 14-day sailing on QE2 in the last year. For context, we have cruised many times previously, our favourite lines being Crystal and Regent. Our cruise was Southampton-Southampton, which we absolutely loved. What a joy to be able to drive to the port, leave the car and walk into the ...

We chose this 7night cruise on QM2 in June to visit the Briksdal glacier at Olden, Norway. Embarkation. We stayed overnight at a hotel in Eastleigh prior to embarkation day. The taxi dropped us off at Southampton Mayflower cruise terminal and we deposited our luggage at the suitcase pod outside and went straight in. We sailed through registration immediately, directed by smiling staff, and ...
