This was our first cruise and after careful research here we thought it would be a good choice as we don't like loud and flashy.
Flying from Bournemouth with Titan Airways, the initial impression was not great. The flight ran to schedule, however, in-flight catering was poor with the most miserable processed cheese sandwich made with sliced white bread, plus a four finger Kit-Kat.

We were on 10 cruises before this one, and with this one we experienced the most unfriendly passengers. No kids were seen. Most were OLD people. The reviews said the food was the best but compared with Princess Cruises, Norwegian, Disney, Msc it is definitely the worst for selection and variety. After the third day we knew what would be on the menu again.
Cunard also got our reward for the only ...
This was our first time with Cunard havinng cruised with P&O twice in recent years. We joined the cruse in Venice and left in Rome two weeks later. Flights, transfers and embarkation went very smoothly.
We had a BA balcony cabin mid ships on deck 6. The cabin was well appointed with plenty of storage space, the balcony was larger than we have had previously and had decent chairs and tables making ...
This was my first time sailing with Cunard and my sister's first ever cruise. She will now try and convince her DH to go on one but it won't be with Cunard.
We had booked a fare including flights to and from Manchester. Flight out was with Jet2 and all went very smoothly including transfers and embarkation. First impressions - the QE is a very beautiful ship indeed. Very elegant, very classy - ...
This was our second cruise on the Queen Elizabeth in the September month, each sailing from Venice. We stayed for 3 nights at the Hilton Garden Hotel, Mestre, a five minute bus ride into the centre of Venice. This was a great location for a pre-cruise say and is highly recommended.
We normally travel with Celebrity but the QE cruise visited the ports that we wanted to visit. We booked the same ...
This was our second cruise, the first with Cunard, our first was with Princess last year. We booked just 3 weeks before departure and felt that we got a good price. The price included all flights and transfers.
The flight was from Manchester with Titan, I had not heard of them before and speaking to fellow passengers no others had either. That said, the flight was fine, nothing fancy but ...
Why do people choose Cunard? The strictly enforced dress-codes? The link with the golden age of liners? Good service? Your fellow passengers at dinner?
On the sailing I was on more than half the passengers were from the UK. The next largest nationality were Australians. The Americans came in third, closely followed by Germans and Canadians. If I remember correctly there were a total of 44 ...
This was our 4th cruise with Cunard our preferred cruise line, our party consisted of myself, my husband, my daughter aged 23 and my son aged 25. We go on holiday together as a family every year as we lead busy lives and it gives us time to relax and catch up. We booked the cruise approximately 6 weeks before departure and we were happy we were allocated rooms next to each other as we were advised ...
Last minute booking--£999 per adult and £699 for our 4year old son flying from Manchester to Venice on Titan Air on a Balcony grade.
Titan Air--make Ryan Air look like first class on Emmirates--a very old and tired Boeing 737 with laminated drinks menus--very dirty interior--not a great start to the Holiday.
Arrive in Venice (thankfully) and collect baggage in the hall with all of the other ...
We had cruised on this ship to Norway , late in the year, and found it cool on the ship and cold in the fjords. Still it was easily the best and most economical way to see them, We researched flight and ferry options as well as hotels and all worked out at least twice as costly and without the views from the 10th deck of QE.
We knew the Med - from Venice via Dubrovnik, Piraeus, Kusadasi, Greek ...
