"In addition to this, as a couple who has done 29 cruises with 7 different cruise lines, including the Queen Mary, it was very obvious that the meal selection and quantity had been reduced substantially There are more than 20% of the Australian population over 65 with Type 2 Diabetes, a substantial market for any cruise company.My wife requires a Gluten Free diet and while the Queen Mary was excellent, the Queen Elizabeth was far below par ,to a degree that I would recommend to anyone to think twice before booking...."Read More
We decided to book a cruise with Cunard again after a wonderful past experience in 2017 on the Queen Mary 2. Although our recent trip had a great itinerary, unfortunately the ship, food, beverages, entertainment & service did not measure up. Everything was ordinary, even though we paid dearly for a penthouse suite in Queen's Grill. Cunard also did not honor their own All-Inclusive Beverage ...
Im keen to try all the great cruise lines if possible and this Cunard ship was sailing out of Australia and returning to the same port at a time that suited our needs so seemed like the perfect choice for a nice holiday break. Check in was simple and quick, and we were allowed to go straight to our cabin once aboard which was fantastic. Ship is very smart, looks like a stately home of Art Deco ...
We picked this cruise to see New Zealand, This compete fast began on a sour note with the ship being 6 hours into the cruise and a death occurred on board, the boat returned to Sydney to remove the dead person. We set back out for New Zealand but the Capt said its a bit of a rough sea so will will cut our speed (10 knots). we were then told because of the time lost we wont be going to ...
Went on this cruise for my late honeymoon with my wife. Service and staff was generally amazing, the team keeping the ship clean and serving the food in the Brittania restaurant were top notch. Afternoon tea was wonderful we went almost every day, and the gala nights were really nice. It's wonderful to still have cruise lines that keep things classy. The food that we got was great and tasted ...
As this cruise was leaving from MELBOURNE and was a special event for us we thought CUNARD would be worth cruising with as have never cruised with them before. it did not disappoint, everything from entertainment, food,cleanliness of rooms was wonderful. and would like to give a big shout out to Jonash who kept our room immaculate.
Food was exceptional, whether dining room or on 9th floor for ...
Chose this cruise as it was a food cruise, didn’t realise when we booked that all the chefs dinners were going to be at large extra cost. Hence we didn’t do any as exchange rate Australian dollar to US $ is very poor. Have sailed on this boat prior to Covid and have no memories of anything to complain about. It seems they either can’t get staff or are just trying to save money. Took 20 minutes or ...
Our first time back on Cunard since pre COVID but have done many Princess and Holland america cruises.
Both HAL and Princess have cutback on so many things and added extra charges for many things that were once free .
The Royal class Princess ships are like travelling in a Westfield mall with most bars speciality restaurants and lounges opening off the main atrium which hold aerobics and ...
We sailed on the Queen Elizabeth over Xmas and New Year. Part of our package included transfers from the airport. This was the start of the issues. There was no communication about where to meet or who to meet once we get off our flight at Melbourne Airport. We were stuffed around with the transfers to the ship.
Once onboard we headed straight to the kids' club with our six-year-old, to ensure ...
I travelled from Melbourne with my Mother on a 5 night cruise to Hobart, Tasmania. We really enjoyed our time on board this cruise. Cunard's Queen Elizabeth is in very good condition and is a beautiful, well appointed ship.
Embarkation was exceptionally smooth and I think we were onboard in less than 15 minutes.
We had originally booked a Brittannia Club Stateroom on Deck 8, but I bid for ...
This is our third Cunard cruise, but like the furnishings in our cabin, the experience is wearing a bit thin and tired. While the day lectures offered were good, the nighttime theatre entertainment was merely glossy and without depth. Could something other than modern pop style music be presented? Meals and service were generally ok, as delivered by the hard working crew. But the LIdo buffet ...
