As my first TA draws to a close I thought I'd share my impressions. This is my 40th trip aboard a ship but first TA and only 2nd Cunard, the first was aboard QE2 in 1998. I want to specifically address concerns I had based upon the reviews and comments I read on these boards. The ship is elegant. Beautiful artwork and sculptures throughout. Never felt crowded. Seemed clean and well maintained. Yes, there's some rust spots and areas that need addressing, but overall I was pleased with her condition. You see immediately that this is not a carnival cruise ship, but an ocean liner from days gone by. Embarkation was quick and easy. I took a private car service from London. Took 2 hours. Got there an hour before my 1:30 assigned time (had allowed for traffic that didn't materialize) and walked right on. Loved the lack of announcements other than the daily noon update from the captain. Food. Ate in brittania main dining room and was very pleased. Stay away from the beef except on the gala nights when the Beef Wellington was wonderfully tasty, tender and served as ordered. Service was good. As a frequent Celebrity cruiser, and more recently river and small ships, I thought the food and service was as good or better. Ate lunch in the pub a couple of times. The burger is not worth the upcharge but the other items are good. Never ate in the specialty or pop ups since was satisfied with the dining room. Loved afternoon tea. Don't miss it. I originally had late seating but changed to flexible after realizing that with the near daily time change back, I would be eating later each day. Never waited and shared tables and met many nice people from around the world. Cabin. Well maintained, clean. Wonderful steward. And had no problem with the shower curtain. Staff was friendly, efficient, and aimed to please. Not sure why some reviews say otherwise. Perhaps an example of you get back what you give. Casino was pretty empty on this voyage. Other than the first day, the purser was quick and helpful. This voyage included concerts and presentations by the National Symphony led by an engaging conductor. Three great concerts were a highlight of this trip. There was a string trio, guitarist, harpist, pianist, all of whom were wonderful as was the big band. The productions shows were below average. Clutsy dancers and mediocre singers. I almost laughed. Looked like a high school spring musical. Go to the lectures. The speakers are wonderful. I was afraid I would be bored. Just the opposite. There were times when I had to choose between competing events. And take time to just read and rest. Loved the hydrotherapy pool, steam and sauna. Got a hot stone message. Wonderful. There was a moving 9/11 remembrance service including the orchestra playing the mournful Adagio for Strings. Brought me to tears. We were blessed with mostly good weather and seas. Most of the time didn't feel any motion. Even the two times we had 10' seas and 35-40 mph winds, the ship is a rock. Motion was less than my Bermuda cruises.
Whilst our QM2 Norway voyage couldn’t have been more perfect with, quick embarkation/disembarkation, an outstanding room steward (who did little extra things such as filling the kettle each day and putting proper milk in the fridge), the service and friendliness across the ship couldn’t be faulted and drinks were always delivered promptly. There was a wide variety of very good entertainment onboard, with many music genres available to enjoy depending on what took your fancy on that particular day. From classical and jazz, through to folk as well as some more up to date genres, all of which we enjoyed. We also attended some excellent lectures in the theatre/illuminations as well as a couple of shows. Our excursions were also well organised and both had excellent local guides. Unfortunately, I’ll give it 3.5 stars, as there is a lack of consistency that appears to plague Cunard nowadays which appeared for us again in the PG restaurant on this voyage (same issue appeared on QV last year). Our evening meal, which was on a special occasion, became a succession of continual apologies during the lengthy delays. Eventually we eventually gave up and left the largely empty restaurant after having had only two courses. It’s obvious that the staff levels are now so stretched, even within the Grills restaurant/galley, that there is no contingency anymore and things can easily descend into chaos. The surveys ask ‘would you recommend……’ hmmm! Cunard is absolutely wonderful when it works, but currently it’s just like a vintage Rolls Royce that has stopped being maintained, still gorgeous wafting you along in serene elegance like nothing else can, but now unreliable and you can find yourself queuing for the bus! My recommendation, is perhaps to book a £599 Cunard 7 night deal and you won't be disappointed.
From parties of one to families of four, you’ll find a variety of spacious staterooms and suites on board our ships to make your voyage as comfortable as possible.
A range of complimentary and speciality dining restaurants are available, with menus created by Jean-Marie Zimmermann, Cunard’s Global Culinary Ambassador. Tables for 4-8 are typical, with seating allocated prior to cruising. Limited numbers of tables for two are available on request.
