...the level of entertainment in the theatre. Not a major issue but annoying to be offered third class acrobats, jugglers and so-called comedians. Cunard should try to understand that a Butlin's type inter-active panto style offering is cringe making.

Apart from this the suite was lovely, the service immaculate and the Queen's Grill food was excellent. Embarkation was rapid though disembarkation was somewhat but understandably rushed. Cunard has now thankfully learned to make picture taking more low key and less hard sell.

The ports were OK: Lisbon, Cadiz, Malaga, Tangier and La Coruna. Unfortunately the weather was poor but this was hardly Cunard's fault. If weather matters perhaps better to stick with the Canaries in winter. As ever the excursions on offer were over-priced and rather disappointing.

Cabin Q4

Wonderful. Huge, comfortable, understated but luxurious.

Port Reviews

Malaga

Needed more sunshine to enjoy it.

La Coruna

Took the El Corte Ingles courtesy bus and spent some time shopping as the weather was so poor.

Southampton

Terminal was fine and thankfully didn't spend a lot of time there as embarkation was so efficient!

Seville

Great shopping and nice port.
