Review summary

Do whatever you can to go Princess or Queens Grill. It is worth the price of admission.

A superb experience on a truly magnificent liner. Even though she is showing a bit of her age, the crew is polished, the food fantastic, the liquor well-stocked, and the mood lively... even when traversing through a hurricane in the North Atlantic. In December.

Kudos, Cunard - I can't wait to revisit (and no, I'm not some old person), especially after the refit.

Upgraded to P1 upon embarkation. Never looked back. Huge difference in cabin size/quality and the Grills experience was something to cherish.

I have not noticed much difference between Princess and Queens restaurants, whatever is written in the advertising copy. Get to know the staff and develop a rapport, they then go the extra (nautical) mile for you. Queens prices only buy you extra cabin space. Princess grade is value-for-money economy.

Thank you for the information, we are in Princess Grill when we go to New York / Fort Lauderdale on the 10/01/2016 we are really looking forward to it, it will be our first time on Cunard and Queen Mary.
