I really, really do despair at the stupidity of some of the people who write cruise reviews. I was on the same cruise as the previous reviewer - celebrating my 60th birthday and had absolutely none of the issues he or she faced. We were in a Queens Grill suite on this occasion but have travelled in regular staterooms with access to the Britannia Restaurant many times and have never, ever had a ...
just arrived back from 4 night mini cruise. embarkation from Southampton was great very quick. cases where at cabin very quickly we thought this is excellent then things started to go downhill, cabin was not very clean the baloncy was very dirty, toilet was blocked with which they unblocked it 3 times. the service was well below average for a 5 star cruise liner
the staff where not very ...
We chose Cunard and Queen Elizabeth to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. We wanted to have a few days away on a luxury cruise-liner.
Regrettably Queen Elizabeth and its staff just did not live up to our lowest expectation.
The only positive was embarkation at Southampton and having our luggage in our stateroom very speedily.
Stateroom, in our opinion poor, it was small and the ...
My wife and I booked a golf vacation to Scotland and we decided to begin our journey by taking the QM2 from NY to Southampton. The ship also made a stop in Halifax, NS. For those who may think that being on an ocean liner for 7 or 8 days....you would run out of things to do....I can explain it best this way-----we would get up by 7:00 AM each morning and the next thing we knew we were dressing ...
WE had 5 days in New York b4 embarking on the cruise. Checking in & embarking at the NY terminal was not great & the staff pretty offhand. Not what I expect of Cunard. It sells itself high so it needs to "deliver" to those standards
We chose a Princess Grill suite which was lovely. The food & service in the Princess Grill restaurant was excellent. Maître D Stanley runs a tight & efficient ...
We recently completed both a Westbound and Eastbound Transatlantic on Queen Mary, the first of which was immediately after the refit and the second was a month later. Here is a comparison of both crossings and my overall opinion .
OUR CABIN
We had a sheltered balcony on Deck 5 on both crossings, Westbound mid-ship on Portside and our Eastbound cabin was starboard towards the aft. Both cabins ...
Westbound crossing in 2014 was great and we wanted to experience the remastering and a Princess Grill Suite this year, 2016, round-trip for 16 days.
We flew into LGA the night before our voyage, stayed at a hotel, and took an Uber from LGA to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in RedHook. Embarkation was quick, didn't take more than 10 minutes. Once onboard we found our suite. Oh, my! It was not as ...
We chose this voyage having sailed on the QM2 in September 2014 from Southampton to New York, spending 4 nights there and flying back to Heathrow. On this occasion, we flew to New York, spent another 4 nights there and sailed on the QM2 on the 4th August back to Southampton, with a stop in Nova Scotia for the day.
The remastered ship is beautiful. The carpets throughout are sumptuous, the ...
ONBOARD EXPERIENCE & SERVICE
We sailed with Cunard on 23rd of July 2016 from Athens. Our sailing points were Athens - Santorini - Katakolon - Kotor - Venice. To begin the journey with Cunard was unpleasant to begin with as we lost our luggage at Athens airport. We embarked on Cunard with whatever we had with us and Cunard crew was being sympathetic with our issue. They told us to let them deal ...
My girlfriend and I chose Cunard's Queen Victoria for our eastern Mediterranean cruise last summer. The choice was based on the amazing port itinerary, Cunard's strong reputation, and reasonable value. We definitely did not go wrong.
The ship is beautiful. Elegant, understated, classy, perfect for the kind of cruise we were looking for. A nice size ship, big enough, but small and intimate, and ...
