Southampton to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

I chose a 7 night cruise to France and Spain for myself, husband and our 17 year old teenager departing Southampton as we live in London and could drive to the port in about 2 hours. We parked our car at the port and it was a short walk to the ship. Our luggage was collected from us in the car park and delivered to our staterooms later that evening. The cruise had a packed schedule of ...

Great family holiday for my two children’s first ever cruise. The ship itself is really big, but it never felt too big to me. Was always good finding a new spot to explore, such as the crows nest which is hidden away right at the front on deck 17. The kids club was a god send. Being able to drop off children to be fully supervised for a total of almost 9 hours a day (if you book all the ...

Review Embarkation in Southampton was very smooth. We arrived at the port just before 10am. From parking to 6walking into the beautiful Galleria Virtuosa was around 30 minutes. Cabin - we were in cabin which had an oversized angled balcony. Our stateroom was very clean and relatively spacious. The cabin steward was really friendly and kept the room immaculate. I'd specifically chosen the ...

Having been on a few cruises but never with P&O or sailing from Southampton we chose to do a med cruise with this company. We didn't regret it. We had the most fantastic holiday on this very smart ship, The Arvia. P&O have really thought of everything. Our balcony and facilities were well-planned, spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the exceptional food and the service was excellent. We ...

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 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 ...

We have done many cruises and tried different companies, going on Ariva was intriguing given the size and how new it was . The first couple of days was mixed having to get used to the virtual queue system ( I would suggest this is taught by the ship - perhaps doing some meetings to orientate guests and have less complaints) The food in the main dining room wad nice but not quite its usual ...

For the price we paid (slightly under 100pppn) for an interior room with premium drinks package, we had a lovely holiday and would absolutely aboard the MSC Virtuosa again. There were plenty of things to get upset/frustrated by, but we got well beyond what we paid for, and we're therefore delighted! Positives - Beautiful ship - Excellent value - Speciality dining was fantastic and, ...
