Review summary

Overall lived up to high standard of our previous Queens Grill crossing. Detour to avoid Helene and then 7 hour detour for medical evacuation meant a very late arrival in New York. Cunard did change our onward flight but managed to downgrade us in the process. Issue resolved but we did have to insist that First Class seats on the flight were still availabe. Someone with less willingness to push back would have been disadvantaged. Regardless of this we had a great crossing and are looking forward to out next one.

Food and Dining

Overall usual high standard. Did use the A la carte option a few times as main menu not so exciting.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We didn’t know any of the Insight speakers but four out of the five were excellent and we really enjoyed their lectures so proves it’s the speaker that matters, not necessarily their celebrity. Used Spa once and some of the fitness classes.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only saw the two singers in theatre. Both good. Would have liked a little more opera. Three recitals in the Grills Lounge were exclellent. Loved the intimacy of this setting.
