"The choice of eating venues was a little limited on an evening but initially we were not bothered by that because we expected the food and service in the main dining room (Britannia) to be of a very high standard.The service in the dining room was appallingly slow, especially on the first two nights...."Read More

1-10 of 105 Baltic Sea Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews
First of all I would like to say that we are both Diamond Cunard World Club members. We were passengers in Princess Grill on the short segment from Southampton to Hamburg October 20-22, 2023. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had on a Cunard ship. This was our 12th sailing on QM2 and 34th cruise with Cunard. QM2 was scheduled to enter dry dock the morning we arrived in Hamburg. I ...
Below is a brief review of our sailing on Queen Mary 2, September 20-29, 2023, 9 nights, from Hamburg to Southampton and on to New York.
This was part of a 5 week trip that began in Milan, Italy at the end of August, and included a 7 night sailing on the Azamara Onward from Rome to Venice.
We were in an Interior cabin with a window overlooking the multi-story lobby. We had noticed these ...
Booked a 4 night cruise to Hamburg and back from Southampton with the thought if we enjoyed the experience we would then consider a transatlantic next year.
Firstly the ship is absolutely stunning, the art deco design combined with modern touches was more than I had hoped for.
The lounges were all spacious, never had a problem finding a seat and the waiting staff in all areas were ...
We booked this cruise to sample the “Cunard” experience. My wife and I have cruised with various other Companies over this last 11/12 years so I wouldn’t consider myself a novice.
We boarded at Southampton having flown into Heathrow earlier in the morning. On arrival at the cruise terminal our taxi driver commented immediately that “ the old girl” meaning the QM2 was looking a bit tired. My ...
This was our first time on QM2 since 2017 - we very much enjoyed this 4 night break in a deck 13 Britannia Club cabin. Here are my thoughts.
Cabin
Despite being adjacent to the door to the open deck, the location was generally pretty quiet. The Art Deco design highlights gave the cabin a nice touch of elegance. The shower with the glass door was great, good water pressure and consistent ...
We chose this 7night cruise on QM2 in June to visit the Briksdal glacier at Olden, Norway.
Embarkation.
We stayed overnight at a hotel in Eastleigh prior to embarkation day. The taxi dropped us off at Southampton Mayflower cruise terminal and we deposited our luggage at the suitcase pod outside and went straight in. We sailed through registration immediately, directed by smiling staff, and ...
We chose this cruise because friends who live in the USA were boarding in New York and it was an ideal opportunity to meet up with them. The QM 2 is looking really tired but one can excuse that to some extent. We made a late booking so couldn’t get the cabin of our choice but really nothing to complain about our sheltered balcony cabin, plenty of storage and a comfy bed, our housekeeper, Hugo was ...
We chose the QM2 because husband, an engineer, wanted to experience the one and only Oceanliner. This was our first and only cruise on a Cunard ship.
We actually were on the ship for 20 days—Southampton all the way to NYC. Every time we had breakfast or lunch in the buffet area it was a chaotic mess. And interestingly, we never received a survey from Cunard after completion of our cruise, so my ...
My wife and I have been on cruises with all the major lines. This cruise was magical. First --hats off to Cunard for even adding this itinerary--chasing the Northern Lights in Norway was a gamble. It was spectacular --and we had two ports cancelled as a result of storms. This ship is not a "rust bucket"--it is a beautiful and understated ship with great common areas; great staff; the best ...
After an amazing half world cruise on QM2 a decade ago, it was a no brainer to choose her again for this journey to the Northern Lights.
First impressions were of a tired old ship badly in need of a coat of paint. Our balcony cabin was no better than the outside impression and she is badly in need of a refit. Hallway carpets had holes and the stateroom cheap MDF furniture was falling ...
