"My other problem is that the Queens Room dancing is virtually 100% ballroom dancing; 8-10 great couples danced most dances but many of us don’t know the Quickstep, Jive, Basso Nova, and Tango.The dress code was widely followed with 95% of pax looking great...."Read More

1-10 of 296 Cunard Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to the Transatlantic from Southampton
A quick review of our Southampton to New York QM2 crossing, 19-26 Nov.
I booked this trip last minute in October when I spotted a “too good to miss” deal on a sheltered verandah cabin. Only after booking did I realise that it was a literary crossing, which was a bonus!
The ship was just out of dry dock after a refit, that included new carpets, reupholstered chairs and a beautiful new floor ...
My husband and i have been cruising for over 30 years and our experience with cunard was the absolute worst. we would never sail with them again nor would we recommend them to anyone.
Our issues with the line began well before the cruise departed. their web site is difficult to navigate and provides only the minimal amount of information. our cruise fare included a beverage package and a ...
We LOVED our trip in the Queens Grill arbors the Queen Mary 2. What a magnificent ship. Our penthouse suite was beautifully appointed with every luxury we could want, including a bathtub long enough for my 6’2” frame to stretch out in.
Meals were wonderful, especially the Concierge who went out of his way to provide us with special meals and suggestions.
Unfortunately all of these good ...
After three years of living in the Covid era and other disruptions, cancellations, etc. I was thrilled to board QM2 a few weeks ago in Southampton for my first transatlantic since 2018. Boarding seemed to go quite smoothly (though those without existing World Club perks seemed to have to wait quite a bit longer) and once on line we were on the ship within 30 minutes I guess. We didn't arrive ...
I had long wanted to do a transAtlantic crossing on one of the Queens. The opportunity came along this summer, when our daughter and her financé were crossing for the second time after a week cruising on the QM2 from Rome to Southhampton. We reserved a sheltered balcony room.
After about 10 or 11 days in London and the Cotswolds, we did a private transfer from Stow to Southhampton, spending the ...
An iconic route of Southampton to New York.
We had a princess grill suite.
Boarding was easy - we were able to walk past the big queue because we had a princess grill suite and pretty much get straight on the ship.
The room was comfortable. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine!
The bed was so cosy and we slept so well every night. They have UK plugs. The hair dryer isn’t ...
In the wake of the the Halifax medical emergency delay and the horrible experience for those embarking after our Crossing, here are some thoughts to focus solely on our just finished TA experience. Note it’s our first time in “Grills” - PG for our 30th anniversary. Also, we’re not , we just like the Cunard vibe.
Princess Grill Experience:
Cabin is certainly a nice upgrade with tons of ...
My wife and I are both in our 60s, and have never cruised before. So please excuse any naïve comments resulting from our lack of experience!
We arrive in NYC in two days time, and let me say firstly that we have had a wonderful time. We booked a Britannia Club Balcony stateroom, which includes open dining in the excellent Britannia Club restaurant. Our stateroom was exactly as described, with ...
We've cruised about 25 times and this was I believe the 5th trip on the QM2 - one of the worst experiences we've had. The ship felt cheap. Meals in the dining room were well prepared, but were extremely small portions. There used to be (pre-covid) standard options (steak, salmon, chicken) daily if you didn't like the featured items, but no longer. The theater entertainment felt more amateurish ...
We've sailed on Cunard and the QM2 16 times, mostly ocean crossings, and have enjoyed 39 cruises overall. We love the QM2 because of unique ocean liner status, the gorgeous public rooms, and the scheduled Atlantic crossings. We completed 2 other crossings since Covid and were concerned with all sorts of problems that had cropped up such as untrained staff and broken equipment. But for this ...
