This was our first cruise with Cunard and while we had previously read some saying it's standards had dropped, we can only say that those previous standards must have been off the top of the chart as we have no complaints at all with regard to the comfort (both our room and the general areas of the ship), the attentiveness of staff, the food and dining options, the on board activities (especially ...
This was our first time cruising on Cunard. We did a Viking Eastern Mediterranean cruise in October 2022 and it is still fresh in our memory. On a scale of 10, Cunard was at least 3 notches down from Viking. I would rate the Viking cruise as 8/10 and Cunard as 5/10. Mind you there is a price difference to consider. We have also done cruises on Azamara, Holland America and Celebrity. Our Cunard ...
Classiest ship we've been on. No hairy chest contests, no belly-flop competition, no announcements about half-price T-shirts at lido. Good variety of entertainment, educational lectures and classical string trio every evening. Beautiful two-story library with spiral staircase. All elegant and subdued. the usual hoofer and hooter musicals were, as usual, mediocre but acrobats and comics added ...
This was our fourth cruise aboard the Queen Elizabeth. The first one was a cruise to Norway and the last three have been cruises to Alaska. This is the first time we have been in Queens Grill on the QE and the first time we have paid for it. We have been honoured with two upgrades to Queens Grill on the QM2.
Last year we were in Princess Grill on the same cruise. At that time we noticed some ...
The weather was terrible. Not Cunard's fault, just that weather in this part of Alaska can be rainy and foggy. Most of the sea days were rainy and foggy. Could barely see Hubbard Glacier for the fog. Glacier Bay was rainy.
The ship itself was wonderful. The only time it seemed crowded was tea time, get there 30 minutes before or wait till 30 minutes after the start time.

Our ten night Alaska cruise was the first of the "Three Cunard Queens" package we had booked. This was our first time on Cunard and we were not disappointed. We were a little worried that Cunard might be snooty but this was not the case.
The ship is in great shape and nowhere did we notice any signs of wear and tear. The decor is opulent, elegant and beautiful throughout.
We dined mainly in ...
Timing was good, with less children onboard and some friends employed by Cunard, and their recommendation. We found dress the opposite of previous reviews, jeans, shorts and T shirts seemed to be allowed everywhere, including restaurants and theatre in the evening.
The Embarkation in Vancouver was totally unsatisfactory, in total chaos. There was absolutely no co-ordination of anything or ...
With the assistance of our Travel Agent, we chose this cruise because of its value to length ratio. Where else could you get 12 nights in Alaska for such great prices. As I elaborate on the experience, keep in mind that our views and experiences are influenced by a large number of previous cruises on Princess, Holland America and others. This was our first time on Cunard--therefore we have zero ...
I always choose Cunard for their high standards of service and overall relaxing and quality experience. This one, a trip from Vancouver to Alaska generally followed that trend. There were a few things that we particularly loved and some that were not quite up to scratch...
The headline guest for the first few days was Bear Grylls-well what a disappointment. He did a couple of presentations ...
We have a bucket list, nothing like going to Mars just a must do before the big one hits..Four of many things on it, eat sushi in Japan see Tokyo, find a reason to buy a Tux and cross the Pacific in style. While let me tell you, Cunard's Tokyo to Vancouver cruise was everything we hoped it could be an more. A beautiful ship kept spotlessly clean by hard working very pleasant staff. This is not a ...
