Cunard Cruise Reviews

I couldn't afford a Christmas cruise so opted for this one. Really wish I hadn't as so many things in the room went wrong all cruise and on the last night KPOP/Bollywood music blaring out on deck one which could be heard from the lifts by the atrium. Cruise Director thought it was fine to have this music disturbing everyone because it was motivational! What a load of claptrap. He then lied ...

Perhaps it is me, but as a seasoned cruiser who has been with many cruise lines, including the Carnival group, I had never been with Cunard. I just expected more than average, but I have had better service and better food on some other ships. We did a transatlantic 7 day crossing from NYC to Southampton with a sheltered balcony cabin on Deck 5. The bed was fabulous, the best I have had on a ...

Scones with clotted cream EVERY SINGLE DAY!! And hands down the best ship's library ever (though I've only been on 5 ships in life so far). My husband and I did our first crossing from NYC to Southampton in October 2022, and we loved it enough to come back again. The first crossing in 2022 was even better in the entertainment realm--we joined the National Symphony (I think that was the name; their ...

19th cruise with Cunard and very impressed. Le Harve & Rotterdam From embarkation onwards was great. Dining in QG with Deepak and MJ as our waiters.They were friendly and professional. Ordered off menu a few times (seafood cocktail; various lobster dishes; rum baba and baked Alaska) and no issues at all. Butler was lovely and you could set you watch with her canapé delivery ...

Overall a superior experience to that of multiple other cruise lines (P&O Princess Pacific Celebrity). Excellent customer service. Free room service (food). Food generally of excellent quality. Steaks at The Verandah restaurant to die for. Pizza at Lido average. Older crowd. Very few children. Dress code but with casual dining options as well. Formal Gala nights. Bed and pillows are divine. ...

Having completed a 25 day cruise on Cunard Queen Victoria in 2017, the differences between now and then are stark, and that's not in a good way. The Food: 1. Duck is now chicken. 2. Buffet has country of origin theme nights, which means the chicken cooked in a slightly different way, or with a different spice. 3. Desert is a variation on moose, with flavours cycled through the ...

We wanted to celebrate our 30th in style so we chose Cunard. They did not disappoint. Great service , sparkly rooms ,lots of activities, fabulous food and free laundry. We loved our Balcony Room and we enjoyed the televised lectures and entertainment. Staff were great to chat to not robots. Spa was great . Internet - new Starlink was well worth the basic price. FB , emails and some videos ...

The boat looked splendid as she was recently refreshed. She was freshly painted on the exterior and looked amazing. The interior refresh included some new soft goods such as carpets and upholstery, however as expected there are still some areas that need repair. Embarkation was smooth. We arrived at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal around 11:30am. Our assigned check in time was 3:00 pm. We stood in ...

A quick review of our Southampton to New York QM2 crossing, 19-26 Nov. I booked this trip last minute in October when I spotted a “too good to miss” deal on a sheltered verandah cabin. Only after booking did I realise that it was a literary crossing, which was a bonus! The ship was just out of dry dock after a refit, that included new carpets, reupholstered chairs and a beautiful new floor ...

We had a fabulous time on this Northern Lights cruise and readers can look up my Live From thread on the Cunard boards for more detail. We sail with a toddler which is unusual for Cunard but their kids club is great. Our child is under 2 so we have to remain with her in the kids club during the day but between 6 and 11pm, they put out travel cots and you can leave your sleeping child while you ...
