We had been on the Queen Mary 2 several years ago and was looking forward to another Cunard trip.
Pros:
1. a beautiful ship
2. good food (down from last time, but still very good at most meals)
3. greats ports
4.good entertainment
Cons:
1. Horrible staff!!
2. room was filthy (wish I had taken pictures because no one would believe it)
3. Aside from the head waiter - NO ...
The Cunard queens have enjoyed a reputation for elegant cruising that we wanted to experience. The 14 day T/A on Queen Victoria was offered at a reasonable rate and we booked it for our first Cunard cruise. We found the public rooms spacious and well appointed. The theater/showroom is large enough to accommodate all of the passengers in the two shows each evening without reservations. There is ...
This was my 32nd sailing, my 6th with Cunard. I love Viking but Cunard may have the edge in terms of elegance and tradition. A beautiful ship, not too big, expertly run -- what more could one want? Well, ok, a couple things: I wish there were more variety on the lunch buffet and I wish there was popcorn to go with the movies, but these are quibbles. The breakfast buffet had everything I could want ...
Why did we choose this? Time, Cost, and Destination. Food was great--I know some don't think British Food is good but we really enjoyed it. Frog Legs, Escargot, lamb and more lamb, pub food, we enjoyed it all as well as the sweets.
The weakness of the cruise was its entertainment. Now I must say the Brits on board really enjoyed some of the entertainers but as an American they did not appeal to ...
Our most recent cruise was with Cunnard on the Queen Victoria for fifty days circling South America. We chose this cruise for it's exciting itinerary. We had not previously cruised with Cunnard but were looking forw ard to it's legendary excellence.
The ship was beautifully appointed and well maintained. The staff and service at dinner, in the lounges, and shops was excellent. The cabin ...
We recently sailed South America 50 days roundtrip from/to Fort Lauderdale on Queen Victoria.
Main reason for selecting this cruise was the destination ports of - Barbados, Rio, B Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, Lima, Montechristo, Equador home of Panama Hats and passage through the Panama Canal - Belize was also a pleasant surprise.
The service we received from our cabin steward and restaurant ...
It stopped at places we had not been to.. canaverel, charleston and Bermuda. Plus the name of Cunard. First time and last time with Cunard
Embarkation at Fort Lauderdale was chaotic took nearly an hour through process. Not well organised.
Got to cabin straight away once on board. Went to Lido buffet. Food looked ok, but expected better for Cunard. Thought first day so would get better. ...
This was our second Cunard cruise, the last, around a year ago on the Queen Mary, which was disappointing to say the least, and we had some trepidation about booking another Cunard Cruise, after all same company management, how is it possible things could change?
From the moment we arrived at Fort Lauderdale to disembarkation at San Francisco just about everything went off to ...
I really enjoy the Cunard Line, I am English by birth and American by choice. I choose Cunard because they provide Dance Hosts for the single ladies for any length cruise. The Queen's room dance floor and Orchestras are so perfect for Ballroom Dancing and themed parties.
The service is excellent from white gloved afternoon tea to breakfast in bed. Their dining rooms are elegant and ...
We were on the Two Ship World Cruise starting with Queen Victoria from Ft. Lauderdale to Sydney. Our cruise began with a two hour wait to be checked in. Our suite seemed adequate but soon developed many problems. First, our shower sewer backed up, covering the shower floor with gray water. We called the purser's office and it was soon taken care of. Second, for nine days we were not sure if ...
