Make a change if you can? We enjoy premium cruise lines geared toward adults that are quieter and more sedate. Holland America is our absolute favorite line, and we thought we’d love Cunard. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Cunard seems to rest on the laurels of its brand, while actually offering a product inferior to its competitors in the premium line segment. We wouldn’t waste our money with Cunard.

Book the planetarium in advance. You can do it on the app or via the concierge. The spaces go quickly but Cunard don’t tell anyone. Apparently it’s really good. We’ll do it next time.

Though not the size of a new mega ship, it is a large ocean liner. Find where the ship layouts are posted on the walls and carry your pocket map (provided in your room) until you figure it out.There is a lot of things to do and places to chill out as well. It is not a party ship but there is tons of opportunities to dance, chill with nice music and family/friends, or chill out.

Prepare for the formal nights. Tuxedo and gowns are required. This cruise is far more mahogany and brass versus chrome and glass.

Be cautions of the movies offered - the one we had for the last day was really depressing, had hoped for something uplifting or a nature film (which we thought "whale" was.

Take it in as a museum cruise. Explore the artwork and enjoy riding the small but elegant elevators. Crowd is spread out so never felt congested. Almost no kids.

If you are at all susceptible to motion sickness, get a stateroom with balcony midship and on as low a deck as you can find. Better yet, don't travel in the stormy season.
