Cunard queen mary 2 reviews

The ship holds a spot in the heart of many types of travelers, but especially those who love history, whether it's maritime history or Gilded Age.

Lots of new staff with attitudes and 3 star service. Rooms are outdated and in desperate need of a renovation. Stains on carpets and drapes. Bathroom still has a musty curtain and room temperature can not be fixed as they were here twice. The staff questions everything. Read More. We wanted to do something different for the holidays but after being a bit disappointed by the high passenger loads and reduced staffing and services on some recent cruises, our expectations were a bit muted.

Cunard queen mary 2 reviews

We have enjoyed many cruises. The Queen Mary 2 was by far the best yet. It's an ocean liner, not a cruise ship, which meant the "ride" was so smooth it was hard to tell we were at sea for most of our 3 week voyage. Even in high seas and gale force 10 winds, we found it easy to move around and hardly noticed the motion. The ship provides outstanding service in every department. The crew is exceptional, courteous, friendly and very professional, making everyone feel special. The variety and quality of entertainment and enrichment activities was also unusually high compared to other lines we have used. It was a pleasant surprise to find a wide range of activities and talks, in particular the RSC, Dereck Daley F1 racing and even the King's former butler! The food - whether in Kings Court, the Restaurants or the Queens room was always excellent, well presented with lots of variety, not forgetting the irresistible afternoon teas. Excursions were fine, the ones we chose were interesting. Our one quibble would be the US immigration and customs formalities in Boston- long queues and two hours in port lost for to this: yet the arrangements to enter the UK or Canada were far smoother with less red tape. We wouldn't hesitate to book aboard the Queen Mary again. Although an old ship needing the odd repair, she was excellent and very smooth in the occasionally troubled waters.

In other ways, however, it's difficult to tell whether you're sailing with Cunard or some other mass-market cruise line. Gala evenings. This trip was PG.

Our first cruise over the Christmas holiday! This was our 19 th voyage with Cunard, so it is obvious we like the line a lot. Every cruise line has a personality. Formal nights, fine dining and attentive service ticks all the right boxes for us. This was the first year we skipped the Christmas party and decorating the house activities and set sail for the holidays. How did the trip measure up? We have sailed with Cunard 19 times.

Our 4th transatlantic voyage on the QM2 over a year period. Possibly our last. Overall service is a little less attentive. Food the entire week was dissappointing, as was the entertainment.

The biggest change was in the Kings Court buffet, which features a completely fresh design. The redesign transformed the space from a chaotic feeding frenzy into a calm space for daily grazing.

Had a problem one day with toilet not flushing in cabin and had to report it twice. Our cabin stewardess was fabulous. Specializing in ocean, river, ultra-luxury, small ship and expedition cruises.
