We have cruised on the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary pre-Covid. We have very good experiences in our 30+ days at sea on those cruises.
On this cruise the ship looked lovely and was very clean. Our balcony cabin was very nice and the cabin steward was good. The food at the Golden Lion Pub was excellent.
However, that's where the positive experiences ended. I was disappointed with the ...
The flight from Boston booked thru Cunard transfers to Vancouver Hotel Blu were perfect. (Two nights)
Cunard then transferred us to the ship terminal and help with luggage. Princess Grill Suite for 10 nights was everything we hoped for. Post trip excursion by Cunard to Vancouver and Grouise Mountain then drop off at airport was ideal.
We choose Cunard for the Britishness and we're not ...
QE was a beautiful ship; we really enjoyed the decor and accessibility of the ship. Although the sailing was booked full, it rarely felt there were too many people (i.e. breakfast in the Lido is a bit crazy). This ship is definitely for mature types since the crowd and actively level is more subdued than other lines. You can't say that about the ballroom! The dance floor was packed, and ...
I'm a diehard Celebrity Cruise line fan, but friends had booked this cruise months ago, so we decided to join them. It's been great being with them, but the cruise itself has been awful. We will never sail with Cunard again and will be telling anyone who asks me to avoid them like the plague. I'm going back to Celebrity and will never sail with another company (have also sailed with HAL and ...
We recently took the July 17, 2023 10 night Alaskan cruise on QUEEN ELIZABETH. Overall, it was a great trip with only a few shortcomings.
Check-in
As Platinum members with Cunard we were able to do priority check-in….but priority check-in doesn’t mean priority boarding. Yes, we whisked through check-in in a matter of minutes, but then we had to sit in a waiting area and wait to board. We sat ...
On this cruise were myself, my husband and our 18 Yr old.
We were in suite 4102 and lucky enough to dine in the Princess Grill restaurant.

We mostly made good use of the Princess Grill restaurant where ...
We departed Southampton and followed Norwegian Prima out of the port and into the English Channel. This seven night cruise was the third and final part of our "Three Cunard Queens" holiday and took us to the majestic fjords of southern Norway.
This ship is in great shape and the interior is opulent and elegant throughout. We noticed that exterior handrails were very weathered and required ...
An iconic route of Southampton to New York.
We had a princess grill suite.
Boarding was easy - we were able to walk past the big queue because we had a princess grill suite and pretty much get straight on the ship.
The room was comfortable. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine!
The bed was so cosy and we slept so well every night. They have UK plugs. The hair dryer isn’t ...
Eastbound transatlantic. Princess Grill
The embarkation at Brooklyn cruise terminal was pretty awful . We were stuck in a hot shed for an hour with one loo , one water dispenser , no information and not enough seats . (And that was for Grill guests). And our bage took an agonising and disgraceful 4 1/2 hrs to arrive . No Grill suite priority?
The ship itself lives up to expectation. The ...
We chose this cruise because we had sailed on Cunard twice (before Covid) for a total of 29 nights and the Main Dining Room (MDR) at dinner was almost always exceptional and the two times it was not, it was made right by ordering something else, so we had zero complaints.
We tried Azamara last year and the MDR dinners were awful, so we were gun shy of trying another different cruise line ...
