Cunard Queen Elizabeth Cruise Reviews for Family to Baltic Sea

This was our first Cunard cruise, having been on more than 10 cruises with Celebrity and Princess. The Cunard cache lured us into trying them. We were impressed by the Princes grill, we liked the restaurant and private decks available to us.Service in these areas was very good. There was no need to reserve sunbeds which was great. We noticed that the overall condition of the Queen Elizabeth ...

This is the first time we (a group of 20 seniors) cruised on one of the "Queen" ships and after hearing our friend's positive ratings on the Queen Mary, we were really looking forward to some good times on the QE. The embarkation process was swift and efficient. The staff was friendly and informative. So a good start to the cruise. When we reached our cabin, the room steward dropped by ...

This was our first cruise with Cunard after 14 years cruising with P&O. We were expecting a much better standard but were very disappointed. The Britannia Restaurant was not of the standard we were expecting in regards of the food, it was at times very poor and not much of it and certainly not fine dining. One of the guests on our table sent their food back because it was cold, also our meals ...

Having had 2 previous cruises with Cunard on Queen Victoria,our Baltic Cruise on Queen Elizabeth was a let down. Sometimes the staff were offhand or just plain rude, the variety of food limited and fresh supplies ran out towards the end of the cruise. Our statement was as expected and the bed extremely comfortable. The service from our room steward was faultless. On board entertainment was ...

Checking in was a slow, hot, bothersome procedure. The staff were lovely, but Southampton needs a new terminal! The state cupboards were simply furnished, but looking a little tired. Strangely the wardrobes and the "afterthought" under the bed storage was ill conceived. Usually so well sorted in these mobile hotel skyscraper.... Life on board. I think that the average age on board was in their ...

Booked this cruise on the spur of the moment as the price was very good value for 2 weeks. Have sailed with Celebrity, RCL,NCL and Princess and wanted to try Cunard. Journey down to Southampton was on the cruise bus, very luxurious comfortable bus and no problems about the check-in procedure, at least there were seats to sit on while waiting so better than other lines where you have to ...

With the expectation of "White Glove Service" ..... different areas caused concern and did not measure up !! THE CABIN.... The light inside the cabin door did not work.... so difficulty was experienced seeing in the wardrobe! Then wardrobe handle fell off !! .a screw was missing. The hand raill above the toilet fell off while the toilet was unflushed and the items on the rail fell in ! It ...

Ten months ago (Sept 2010) I bounded down Queen Victoria's gangway in Civitavecchia following a 10 day Med and Black Sea cruise declaring her a fantastic ship and my best cruise in 7 years' experience. So it was with great anticipation and optimism that my partner and I boarded Queen Elizabeth on 26 July for the Norwegian Fjords and Waterfalls cruise. After all, if QV had ticked all my boxes, QE ...

My husband and I were looking forward to our Baltic cruise with new destinations for us as well as the royal, new Queen Elizabeth. It was no where near our expectations. First of all, after we entered our first port of Hamburg, there was a sewer gas smell that permeated the ship, especially mid ship. This odor seemed to come and go periodically and was even noticed on the third floor of the ...

This was our first time with Cunard although we are certainly not first time cruisers. We booked back in November and have eagerly kept up with reviews (some of which were a bit worrying) up to the time of sailing. Our main reason for choosing this cruise was that it gave us that very rare opportunity to sail on a maiden voyage with what we believed that would entail at each port of call.We are ...
