Southampton Singles Cruises Reviews

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 are having an amazing time on our cruise! Spent 2 days in London prior to cruise at Guardsmen Hotel near Buckingham Palace and really enjoyed it. Left on National Express due to train strike and got to Southampton around 11am and onboard by 12pm! Very smooth embarkation by NCL. Each port has been lovely with excursions at each, loved Blarney Castle and Giants Causeway. Bring layers!! Some days ...

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 ...

We chose this cruise as it was in the UK half term (hence the title of the review). We travelled expecting to have to queue, not to get to do all the things we wanted to and for their to be a LOT of families with kids on board. This trip was done on a tight budget as we/the kids have lots of other travel this year - we didn't take drink or wifi packages or book ship tours, making the most of the ...

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 ...

We had a fabulous cruise but thought we only had 1 tender port...we had 3 and each one was a total disaster. people were lined up for as much as 2 hours waiting for a tender with no communication from the ship. same thing happened on a bus excursion - 2 buses had an accident but no one told the guests so we sat there for 90 minutes waiting.terrible communication definitely need some guest ...

First cruise since 2019 and we went in with realistic expectations. Long time Celebrity cruisers, we liked Royal’s price point for a first sailing out of Southampton. We chose a guaranteed inside cabin as we were unsure of how much we would use the balcony on a cold weather cruise. Embarkation was efficient as was the parking at ABP. We walked steps to the ship and were onboard by 1130 with ...

First time cruiser so I went in not knowing what to expect/low expectations but boy did it go high and beyond. I met amazing people both staff and fellow cruisers and frankly, I had the best holiday since a long while. We had a room with a balcony which I loved waking up to a different view every morning. On ship, I spent most of my time attending the free events such as shows, promotional events, ...
