Transatlantic Luxury Cruises Reviews

Why so many complaints? If you don’t want to see any signs of rust and wear, go on a brand new cruise ship! This ship is 18 years old and they were constantly painting and repairing everywhere during our cruise. Many of the areas have new carpet, new furniture and the ship was spotless in all the bathrooms, common areas and restaurants. I think some cruisers got a little spoiled pre-pandemic ...

We traveled August 5-28 on the Queen Mary 2, round trip from New York stopping at Southampton, Hamburg, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Southampton. As a result of having 3 or 4 cancelled trips in 2020 and 2021 (and resulting FCC), we splurged on a Queens Grill Penthouse (we’ve previously traveled in both Princess Grill and Britannia). This was not a ‘normal’ shipboard experience for us as we ...

I boarded queen elizabeth in san francisco for a 36 night cruise on sunday 24 july 2022. This is my first cruise on this ship and i suspect that it will be my last unless significant changes are made. The check-in at san francisco was the worst i have experienced in almost 50 cruises. I arrived at 10.30 anticipating 11.00 boarding. i was told that boarding would commence at 11.30. A ...

We had high hopes going into this crossing that were repeatedly undermined by reading reviews characterizing the ship as decrepit, the atmosphere as stifling, and the dress code as arcane and draconian. Luckily, our high hopes were realized and our doubts unfounded. We loved the slightly old-fashioned feel of the ship and its passengers. The interiors are comfortable, lived in, and attractive. ...

We have just returned on the QM2 two-way transatlantic. It was brilliant. I had read negative reviews, but should have just kept an open mind. Perfect, not, but as good as... and life is too short to get too concerned. If something is wrong, bring it up so it can be resolved there and then. The stateroom was great, lots of storage space etc., a fridge was a bonus, lovely food ...

It has now been almost 3 weeks since disembarking from the QM2 and frankly I cannot wait to get back on the ship! Prior to this voyage I had never travelled via ship, I had always taken a flight but in 2019 I decided to try something new and book myself on a cruise ship and having completed extensive research on the subject I decided to do a transatlantic crossing on board the QM2(I know it's ...

This was our third Crossing in 5 years on the QM2 and I think this time our eyes were wide open. Our first Crossing (Britannia Club), in 2017, was magical, as first Crossings on the QM2 are. We truly saw everything through rose colored glasses. I think if the ship had sunk entering New York Harbor, we would still have given it a 5-star review. Our second Crossing (Sheltered Balcony), in 2018, was ...

When the Explorer started sailing we thought it was wonderful and enjoyed several sailings. After waiting 2 years we due to covid we sailing the new Splendor. A definite WOW. Surpassed the Explorer in all categories.The decor is elegant and relaxing too. The perfect ship to sail across the Atlantic. Although I give an excellent rating, I must state that due to covid rules in Miami and our ...

Even though we had not been on the ship in three years due to the pandemic, very little had changed. Some of our favorite maitre'd's and servers had moved on to the Splendor as promotions or at their request. Service is still spectacular. Not a cruise for singles. It is an older crowd and most folks are married or coupled. Guests from across the globe made this an interesting experience. ...

This was a cruise that included 5 adult family members - all over age 55. My sister suggested South America and we mulled it over and did some research before settling on it. The comfort of the ships, the meals, the entertainment and the excursions were all fine tuned. The staff met our needs before we even new we had them. One of the things I enjoyed most were the speakers on a variety of ...
