We sailed a quick 5 day last year on the Queen Elizabeth and wanted another go at the Cunard experience. We had an excellent rate for a balcony cabin, grats included via our agent's affiliation, so a good value all around.
We like Cunard because of the upscale atmosphere, almost no kids sailing on this itin, low key approach to onboard sales, formal nights and size of ship, Absolutely no complaints. The Victoria was in amazing shape, very clean, beautiful, no areas in need of help.
Food: their buffets are excellent, so much choice, no cutting back on 'upgraded' options like smoked salmon, fish, good cheeses, etc. I am a pescatarian but never felt underfed in any way. The Britannia DR fell a bit short for us. Small portions, especially the fish & seafood entrees and the deserts were disappointing... often lacklustre, very small portions and missing visual appeal. Having said that, the chocolates/candied ginger etc served with coffee were always a lovely touch. Oh, and lunch in the DR on the last sea day was the best meal we had all week in there.
