Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Queen Elizabeth

Because of lack of maintenance during Cuvard, the ship's hull had not been de-fouled to the satisfaction of the New Zealand authorities and thus not being able to enter a number of ports including Milford Sound, the number one cruise attraction for New Zealand. The deception was the fact the Cunard did not advise passengers of this in order for passengers to consider alternatives. Compensation ...

We chose this cruise to see if Cunard would fit us and what we like about cruising. Firstly The ship was in very good condition and our balcony cabin was fine. We found that the passenger mix was fairly wide ranging and everyone was very polite and friendly. That is except for a few crew members. We have sailed on almost 100 cruises ranging from 3 star to 5 star and only once before had I ...

SHIP OVERALL
Very well maintained, excellent crew, efficient and slick operation
FOOD - ate breakfast only in the buffet, food was hot and tasty, all the English favourites. Ate lunch in the Britannia dining room and the Golden Lion, excellent.
Afternoon tea in the Queen’s room was a frantic and chaotic affair attended once, after which we ate ...

My cruise was a surprise arranged by my friend. I was amazed. Arriving we were greeted by friendly porters and our suitcases were taken to our booked cabins. We then waited some time in five rows filling out paperwork before being served at a counter, then given further documents for customs. Staff were continually on hand to manage the rows.
Once through Customs we walked towards the ...

Although we have cruised before, this was our first cruise with Cunard. The Queen Elizabeth is a very comfortable ship. There are plenty of seats around the ship, and it is never hard to find a comfortable spot to relax, read a book, watch the scenery, play a card or board game or just chat to new friends. There are lots of activities on board, shops to visit, a very busy British pub, an ...

This was our first experience on Cunard and we stayed in the top level Queen’s Grill accommodations. We previously have done a number of cruises with Princess.
The trip did not start well when we could not find the Cunard representative at the airport to get our airport to pier transfer at the start of the trip. We were at Melbourne airport, but the number to call in our Cunard documentation ...

Husbands special birthday and cunard was always on his bucket list.
First 5 days food was rubbish, dry and not as described on menu. The Lido was no better
Bar prices out of this world. Buy a drinks package, coffees, soft drinks or alcohol, they don't tell you in the book that you have to buy one for every one in your cabin !
What to wear in dining room, non gala evenings. Book says ...

We chose this cruise in order to experience Christmas,New Years and significant birthday at at sea. There were several highlights on the Queen Elizabeth; the food in the main dining room was excellent, our shoulder cabin and balcony seemed vast, and some of the guest speakers were excellent (Dr Richard Harris, Australian of the Year, gave a wonderful presentation about his role in the Thai cave ...

This was my first cruise with Cunard. I knew ahead of time what I was in for as I had done plenty of research before and after booking. I booked this itinerary because I wanted to spend Christmas Day at sea and dress up for evenings and gala occasions. I chose Cunard because I wanted a different (largely child free) experience as compared to other cruise operators.
The embarkation and ...
