1-9 of 9 Alaska Queen Elizabeth Alaska Cruise Reviews
The Alaska itinerary was as we expected and included 2 days viewing glaciers at close range. We have sailed the QE before, and the food was disappointing this time. We like lamb, but it was on the dinner menu 4 times on one week, plus some lunches. The same was true of orange roughy. There was a sirloin steak once, but no other steaks in the main dining room. No filet mignon, and no New York ...
Pros:
*Cunard’s unable to improve its service. It is ‘top notch’ with exemplary care provided by the crew.
*Ship is well appointed with class throughout.
*Good instrumental entertainment.
*MDR cuisine is mostly innovative and exceptional.
*Cunard ‘knows how’ to make coffee unlike the insipid liquid served on many other lines.
*Embarkation well organized.
*Although the staff ...
This was our third cruise on the QE – and the second time in Princess Grill on this ship. A detailed review of the ship is not necessary as there has been plenty written about it. I will just mention a few things that are outstanding: I think the Grand lobby, the Royal Court Theatre and the Commodore Club are the finest we have experienced on any ship. The elegant two-storey library gets an ...
The schedule and scenery was amazing - but our experience of the ship was not good. This was only the third time that Cunard had ventured into these waters. We were interested to go with Cunard as we feel we are culturally more aligned with Britain than the US (being from Australia) and there were some great things such as the high tea at 3 pm on the ship. However, we had some major issues with ...
Having read some of the reviews of Queen Elizabeth cruises I was having some concerns about this Alaska cruise. Different people have different experiences, even on the same voyage, and I was pleased we enjoyed our June 10-day cruise very much. We had been on this ship only once before and that was in Princess Grill. This time we were in a Britannia balcony stateroom.
Embarkation in Vancouver ...
We chose this cruise because it was a ten day round trip itinerary that left and returned to Vancouver. It didn't' go to Glacier Bay, but the times in port were good and the ten day itinerary allowed us to visit extra ports. We were also hoping to get some dancing in because we'd found the dance floor on our previous cruise was far too small.
The cruise more than met our expectations. We had ...
I have been on 10+ cruises but this was my first Cunard experience.
Embarkation went smoothly in Vancouver, not the fastest but not the worst either.
Our room was large (accessibility means lots of space) with a large balcony. Enough storage space for all our clothes.
The food in the Main dining room was good, a good variety of appetizers and mains and always yummy desserts. The ...
We took a family party of 8, ages 5-73 on this to experience Alaska for the first time. We had 3 balcony cabins near the bow on level 5. The ship, was outstanding, elegant, and British-traditional in an updated version. I would recommend this cruise and ship to anyone wanting to see Alaska.
I feel it necessary to contradict some of the negative reviews about the crew made by others. Our cabins ...
I had been on two previous Alaska cruises (Crystal & Princess) and hadn't planned on going back again, but I wanted to cruise on one of the new Cunard Queens and since I live in Oregon.... The ship is beautifully done, the food in the Britannia Dining Room was excellent and so was the entertainment in the Royal Court Theater. But the service throughout the ship was consistently uninspired. Nobody, ...
