Review summary

Overall this is an excellent ship with a focus on quality. This is very evident from all members of the staff who went out of there way to make sure everything was as perfect as possible. Would recommend Cunard to anyone considering a cruise. Having also sailed on QM2 I would rate her above Quern Elizabeth overall.

Embarkation

Appeared to be Organised chaos

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only dined in Queen’s Grill which was excellent with impeccable service. Staff very focused but could ‘lighten up’ a little. They could have lessons from the sommelier, who was a star.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
fitness centre well equipped. Weather wasn’t good so nothing outside.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
A bit of a mixed bag. Cunard singers and dancers performed a ‘pleasing’ show but Eagles tribute band was pretty poor. They should have been relegated to the pub where the orchestra were performing ( in too small a space ).

Children's Programs

No children in the party

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Wait staff in all lounges were very attentive and efficient. Never saw our cabin steward and our butler on about 4 occasions for maximum of two minutes. Every member of ships personnel always made eye contact and greeted you with a smile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is impeccable. The Queens Lounge isn’t the most inviting space. More like a concierge lounge, which seemed to be it’s main purpose.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Could not complain about the preparedness or cleanliness, all perfect. Felt the overall design was somewhat claustrophobic and not a good sense of space. Bathroom split into two separate rooms with door between and hence felt quite cramped. Bed and linens excellent and was always serviced unobtrusively.

Ship tip

Be careful signing drink receipts as service charge is already added but is a space for ‘tip’

Ports of call

Melbourne, Australia

5 out of 5
This is my home town. Fabulous city but I could be biased.

Sydney, Australia

4 out of 5
Was our destination port. Stunning harbour a loads of interesting sights, events.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and straightforward

We will be on QE later this year. We want to see her post re-fit and will be on Queens Grill. Your review is very informative. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
