First of all I apologise in advance to all the Cunard lovers on here.
Start with the positives (this won't take long!).

House band quite good.

Negatives
We should have known after our recent wonderful experiences with Viking Ocean Cruises that it was going to ...
1. Price!
2.. The food was very good indeed and I am fussy(!) I do not eat pork products and I was supplied each night with the menu for the following day to choose and some dishes were certainly made specially. The vaiety was very good. I did ask on 2 occassions for kedgeree and although they said its not normal in Britannia dining room to have specially made dishes they did it and it was ...
The overall package was very good value for money. The opportunity to sail around South America through the Magellan Straits, including a voyage up the Amazon to Manaus, plus a crossing of the Pacific past Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, Bora Bora and others on the way to Auckland and Sydney was very attractive.
Cunard prides itself on its history and standards, but this is somewhat of a ...
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Queen Elizabeth, she is a beautiful ship. Our cabin was bigger than we expected and perfect for us. The bed was so comfortable, the best ever. There were good quality toiletries provided in the bathroom. The only downside was the shower curtain and the rather small shower cubicle.
We were impresses with the entertainment, we saw one production show and enjoyed ...
"Embark on a very civilised adventure. Sail with Cunard to experience your ideal oasis of discovery, relaxation and sophistication" "The Cunard experience. Everything you wanted Nothing you expected.".
The above comes from the Cunard web site so I thought that I'd write my review with this in mind.
Our 5 day trip was the celebration of a significant anniversary and we had booked a cabin in ...
For 799 USD on a balcony incl. 850 USD OBC you better go than staying home.
Embarkation was "disappointing" since the weather was foggy and rainy. So not a real welcome feeling with a great farewell out of New York like we had in November 2014.
Crew was fantastic - was mostly like reunion-party.
Was NY Times Readers voyage incl. many lectures from NY Times.
Wanted to join many but at ...
This was our second TA on QM2 - we had previously travelled in Princess Grill but this was a treat so we splashed out on Queens Grill - expectations were high!
Embarkation in Brooklyn was a mess - we were held in a packed "priority" room for ages whilst other passengers embarked before us. The staff then screeched at us. There was no order and no organisation. Needs more work!
Remastered QM2 ...
This was a new years eve cruise. We enjoyed ourselves so much the first time we booked again this year 2015.
We arrived at Southampton dropped off our car withe the parking attendant. Our cases were taken by the porter. As we entered the terminal we were greeted by a member of staff.
The terminal was clean with seating area's, not like some of the terminals used by some other cruise lines. ...
We booked this cruise our third on QE 12 months ago and were not disappointed Arrived at the terminal at .12 noon and was on board by 12.30 pm this is one of the things I like about Cunard. straight to stateroom and drop our bags off. Then to lunch which was what we expected with a good choice for my husband who is a Coeliac. The ship was still decorated from Christmas and look lovely. We had ...
We departed from Brookyn. We live in CT so it was only a couple hours drive. We went straight on board when we arrived. Checkin was smooth, and before we knew it we were settling in. This is the second time we have been on the QM2 and it was just remastered earlier in 2016. I went with my parents and brother and we met some of the best people on board. We became friends from day one, so there was ...
