Western Caribbean Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We have just returned from a combined transatlantic crossing to New York and Caribbean cruise. We have sailed on QM2 a number of times over the years and were shocked but also saddened to see the state of disrepair, neglect and overall drop in standards. We were surprised to see that Cunard who heavily market on the ship's iconic history and tradition plus the famous White Star Service, would let ...

Cruise of Nov 17th out of New York , D8 cabin booked upgraded to D2 , Deck 12 inside, traveling solo. Flew to New York via Jet Blue (excellent flight) from Fort Myers FL, not arranged by Cunard, however I did book a Hotel package with Cunard, I arrived early into New York but the Cunard rep was there. As I was the only Cunard passenger on that flight a Lincoln town car was provided to take me to ...

Queen Mary 2 "Caribbean Calypso" 10 night Princess Grill Suite Jan 3, 2009 Embarkation: Considering that it was a record day for passenger traffic through the Port Everglades, FL - nearly 50,000 passengers with ten ships in port - embarkation was especially smooth. I speak only for grill-class passengers as we were onboard early in the afternoon after only a brief wait indoors in air ...

This was an eagerly anticipated first trip on the QM2 booked in Feb 07. Our original ports of call included Limon, Costa Rica but this was cancelled by Cunard in December 07 and Barbados added as the alternative. No reason was given for the change in itinerary. The new itinerary was New York, Cristobal (for the Panama Canal), Curacao, Bonaire, Barbados, St Lucia, St Thomas, New York. We sailed ...

After very long flights from Australia, my husband Fred and I had a chilly weather welcome to New York. The Wingate Inn Midtown was an excellent choice for our stay in Manhattan. Only twelve months old this accommodation included complimentary breakfasts and free internet service. Boy... did I enjoy those make-yourself waffles! It is only half a block from Macy's Department Store so the position ...

My wife and I have been on eight cruises, three of which have been on the Queen Mary 2. We are in our early 40's with two boys ages 9 and 3. We usually go on two cruises per year. One with the kids and one without the kids. The QM2 is the one without the kids. We love this ship and here are some details of our most recent sailing. Embarkation - Was a complete disaster. Ft. Lauderdale is too ...

The Voyage A few months ago, an email came to my in-box advertising a few Caribbean cruises on the QM2. Recognizing that this was an opportunity we couldn't refuse, we acted immediately and called our Travel Agent who got us a Princess Grill guarantee for a very good price. Knowing that this trip would ruin us for other cruises, Cunard got us forever. We sailed on November 25, 2006 and returned ...

Queen Mary 2 is, from an interior design and naval architecture perspective, a very significant ship. At the moment however, she clearly has yet to attain the level of personal service that her owners and the public would expect. While the check in process at Pier 92 New York was smoother than many we've experienced, once aboard the new passenger is left to fen for themselves in trying to locate ...

Queen Mary 2 - Panama and Caribbean 16 -26 March 2004 Embarkation and disembarkation were performed well. We had stateroom 5134, 5th deck, located on the portside and between stairwell/elevators C and B. Location was good as elevator B took us to amidships and elevator C directly to the dining area. Our stateroom was small but comfortable. The veranda was not to our liking had a high solid ...
