QM2 Mixed review: Some deferred maintenance, poor food, but otherwise a delight

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

Having recently completed a seven-day transatlantic voyage aboard the Queen Mary 2, our first Cunard experience post-pandemic pause and just after a couple of recent cruises on Holland America Line and Celebrity X, and we felt it useful to share a quick review. Our oceanic résumé is not devoid of experience with Cunard; we first sailed on the QE2 back in the early 1970s in tourist class and have ...

By way of background, we are mid-60s with 35 cruises in 10.5 years. Celebrity is our benchmark. We had seen so many Vlogs about a Transatlantic voyage on the QM2 that, when a significant saving opportunity came up, we jumped on it. We booked an entry level Queen’s Grill Suite (Q5) and started to budget for it. The itinerary was NYC round trip with Norway and France added. Online check in ...

We took the QM2 from NYC to Southhampton and this was our return for which we did this review. First all potential passengers must accept that the July North Atlantic is subject to bad unpleasant weather. We could not go outside most days with limited visibility due to serious fog on other days. My wife was sea sick. If you are inclined to be sea sick fly across the ocean. We thought the ...

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 ...

This was a bucket list item and I don't regret it, but it didn't live up to the hype especially the food. Embarkartion was disorganised and we were confidently directed into the wrong waiting area. Our Queen's Grill cabin was fine (large enough and quiet with a large balcony) but the dining room was small, noisy and very crowded. The maitre d' was all smiles but unwilling to put himself out. ...

Prima to Iceland Perfect Trip

Love cruising out of New York City. We are not loyal to any one cruise line and have cruised over 17 times. We booked an Inside cabin and was upgraded to a Balcony as our Inside room was next to a utility room that was very noisy during the evening hours. The staff was wonderful about addressing this problem. We received a tray of chocolates for the inconvenience also. The rooms were both ...

Enjoyable Repositioning Cruise Despite Missing 2 Ports

My husband and I booked this cruise over a year ago, particularly excited about the Prima being a new innovative, slightly smaller ship, bucking the current bigger-is-better trend in cruise ship builds. A transatlantic cruise would be a first for us, as well as our first visit to Iceland, including 3 ports - a day each in Akureyri, Isafjordur and an overnight in Reykjavik. Perhaps the biggest deal ...

A repositioning cruise to Iceland really had us excited. We like and sail Norwegian more than the competition but we have enjoyed them all. It was a real plus to sail on the newest ship in the fleet. We were concerned about some of the unflattering reviews we saw, but we kept an open mind about it. I am just comparing this experience to the 25 +/- other cruises we have been on. Here is what ...

Great TA itinerary, marred by a few glitches

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Norwegian Epic

We picked this because of the dates and the TA itinerary. We would be visiting ports that were all new places for us. Embarkation went smoothly, even though we arrived a bit later than we would have liked (around 2 pm). We left a bit late but the party on deck was going strong while we sailed. We got a nice evening view of New York and the Statue of Liberty as we departed. The seas were a ...

First NCL cruise; I was a little disappointed

I just took my first NCL cruise, April 20 to May 6 Breakaway transatlantic and was a little disappointed when comparing it to Princess or Celebrity. I took a transatlantic on each of them last year, and they were overall just much better. BUT, before I get into things I didn't like, I'll describe what I did like. 1. I paid a low price with no single supplement. It was the same on Princess and ...
