This was our 3rd cruise with Cunard and our first trip on Queen Elizabeth (previous trips were on QM2). Once again a fantastic holiday, beautiful ship, fantastic staff and service, and amazing food! I am surprised by other reviewers comments about the canteen quality of the food, and lack of choice in the Britannia Restaurant. There were certainly no complaints from myself or my travelling ...
We had been told by everyone we knew who had cruised that Cunard is one of the best lines to travel with!
As this was our first cruise we had done loads of homework about what to expect, everyone had hyped it up so much, we were probably expecting far too much.
I think lots of little irritating things at the start of our experience has marred our overall view of cruising.
We were told, ...
We have just come back from our first trip on a Cunard ship but with previous experience of many other cruise lines and our overall experience was excellent. We usually travel with our teenage sons but this was our first trip on our own we are in our early to mid 40's and wanted a more adult experience than some of the other cruise lines offer. Firstly we had a private flight from Bournemouth put ...
My wife and I have sailed in Queen Mary 2 twice trans-Atlantic and once on a 12 day Caribbean cruise and I sailed once trans-Atlantic with my 10 year-old granddaughter. The ship is a modern throwback to days when trans-Atlantic sea voyages were the only means of traveling to Europe, as I've done in the old Holland-America Nieuw Amsterdam, on the maiden voyage of the French Line flagship, Liberte, ...
After sailing back to back across the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2 in 2014, I simply had to book a voyage on the remastered Queen Mary 2. The remastering of Cunard’s flagship had got me really excited. Once she entered dry dock I found myself on a daily basis systematically working through the Cunard Facebook groups, Various Cruise forums, Twitter and Instagram in search of a sneaky picture or two ...
Having cruised with a number of cruise lines ( Royal Caribbean , P & O and Oceania ) we were interested to see how Cunard compared , the fact a refit had occurred recently would be even better .
We were expecting higher standards than RC and P & O but in our opinion the food was not as good in the main dining room . Most courses read well on the menu but were disappointing when they arrived . ...
This trip was the 1st time on any Cunard ship and I had expected it to be of a very high standard, so the no. of minuses we & some others experienced left us very surprised. We traveled by car & this time booked with CPS. Although this is dearer than parking off port. There were no queues as we drove up; handing over off the car keys & instructions for our return was speedy & within 10 minutes ...
If you are booking a Saver Fare you may be kept awake by Band ( just the base player in this case ), you are not warned of this before booking.
You should expect to contact the Pursar's desk 4 times before something is done.
Many people have said that going with Cunard is a totally different experience and quality to that of Royal Caribbean, believe me that is not our impression now. ...
We embarked on the Queen Victoria in Venice after spending a few days of our honeymoon in a delightful little hotel. What annoyed us the most about the embarkation process was the fact that there was absolutely no communication, help or advice from Cunard about how we should find the ship! We saw a Cunard tender boat and assumed we could hop on and board ship this way, but we were told we had to ...
