Queen Mary 2

Every expectation was fulfilled above and beyond. Thank you Cunard and Marriott!!!

This was a very nice cruise but employees didn’t seem happy. The said and did the rights things but just seemed sad. Speaking with several staff in different areas and levels the common theme was that 7 days at sea with no ports (for 9 months) and the time zone changing back and forth takes a toll. Cunard makes this worse by making the crew pay for their internet usage (not cheap) so they cannot talk with their families often. While I understand the need to be consistent (I was in HR), this can be maintained by applying this to cruises with no ports in excess of certain number of days or whatever. With no availability of free WIFI found in ports this just seems wrong and it does show. Do the right thing Cunard and it will show!

Good service, delicious food, excellent entertainment. Especially ballroom and latin dancing with the friendly dancing host make a big different. Afternoon tea in Queens room also is a plus.

Overall great cruise. Ship is tastefully decorated. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Considering the amount of passengers food was good. Outside of the meals and shows it was very easy to find spots to relax away from it all if one wanted. Would recommend the ship and cruise line.

Even with autumn weather and active seas, the trip was smooth and relaxing. We met many interesting people, and everyone was friendly. The ship, the food, and the entire experience was great. We have already booked our next voyage.
