Friends have travelled on Cunard ships and recommended them, also sailing from Southampton fitted in with our life.

Have cruised before on two P&O ships so know the routine. Firstly check in was so easy, eating lunch just after 1pm, everything was so smooth. Cabin was on deck 4 aft, lovely and spacious and quiet (even though many people told us midships is the best) have found no difference in location!
