Lovely, but not as special as I expected

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

Perhaps it is me, but as a seasoned cruiser who has been with many cruise lines, including the Carnival group, I had never been with Cunard. I just expected more than average, but I have had better service and better food on some other ships. We did a transatlantic 7 day crossing from NYC to Southampton with a sheltered balcony cabin on Deck 5. The bed was fabulous, the best I have had on a ...

Scones with clotted cream EVERY SINGLE DAY!! And hands down the best ship's library ever (though I've only been on 5 ships in life so far). My husband and I did our first crossing from NYC to Southampton in October 2022, and we loved it enough to come back again. The first crossing in 2022 was even better in the entertainment realm--we joined the National Symphony (I think that was the name; their ...

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

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 ...

Our first Viking cruise exceeded our expectations. Lovely ship, well-trained staff, efficient management. Ship constantly well cared for and tidy. All staff were courteous and kind. Restaurants offered many GF options and attended to requests with care. Meals were generally quite attractive, varied, and tasty. Wait staff was generally knowledgeable and very pleasant. Room was kept ...

My husband and I wanted to get away and relax after a very busy and medically challenging year. He had never been on Cunard before but I had and highly recommended it. We wanted to leave from NYC, unpack once, enjoy the crossing, the fjords of Norway, our one day in France and the return trip to NYC. To make this trip even more special, we selected a room on the Princess Grill level, a room we ...

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 ...

This was a first cruise for my husband. He and I were blown away by the beauty and efficiency of the ship and crew. The food was outstanding and our room was lovely. We could not have asked for a better experience My husband said he would definitely take another cruise. There was a group of 6 of us and we all enjoyed our time aboard ship and the excursions were interesting and enjoyable. ...

We had sailed on Rhine with Viking so did not hesitate to take this cruise. Can't say enough about this terrific line. The ship itself...Neptune... was so clean and fresh both inside and out that one would think it was brand new. Left from Manhattan Cruise Terminal after the easiest and quickest embarkation we have experienced. We were upgraded to a Penthouse Verandah stateroom. (First ...

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 ...

Sailing the QM2 was a bucket list dream. Unfortunately it wasn’t a dreamy experience. Firstly, embarkation was time consuming but easy. Our cabin was in remarkably good shape - no complaints there except the bathroom was dingy and needs an overhaul. Our cabin attendant though needs more training; we had a rattling noise start during our first night. We spoke to him about it the next day ...
