I would do this cruise again we had a fantastic time, our daughter joined us for the Caribbean leg.
As you can see from my comments above the islands were great and the people so friendly.
Of course the Caribbean weather apart from one day was great. The QM2 is a great floating hotel.
Only negative I am now on a diet!!!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Never had a problem with any of the food on offer, it was always a high standard.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Our our main activity was the Cunard Insights programme with guest speakers, all very interesting, the main speakers weere Henry Blofeld, Midge Ure and Alan Cumming they also did a Q & A session.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We attended most of the evening shows the "star turns" were all very good, Midge Ure did a 45 minute show that was excellent. One "star turn" we did not like and from comments we were not the only ones. The Royal Court musicians are excellent. The Royal Court dancers are very good. Cunard do need to re vamp the shows, we have sailed with Cunard over the last six years and the format has not changed much, even most of the songs are the same, but we still enjoy them.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
You cannot fault the staff they are all excellent.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The whole ship is kept to a high standard of cleanliness. As you move around the ship there is always someone cleaning.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin steward (Charles) was excellent and kept our cabin very very clean. The size was OK and it was comfortable.
Ship tip
Go through the daily programme which is delivered to your cabin every evening and plan your next day activities. Fitting it all in is not always easy.
We did not do a Cunard excursion, we found a taxi (loads at the port) and agreed a price with the driver who took us all over the island. Much cheaper than Cunard excursions. We like St Thomas would visit again, the people are very friendly.
Used a local taxi. The driver took us all over the place. Still not completely recovered from the hurricane. Again a lovely island with nice people. Would visit again.
Also agree about the entertainment. I found it a bit flat. No stage affects, props, backdrops etc. Cunard does have a loyal following , I wonder if guests compare what Cunard offers with the superior entertainment of other ships. Maybe they are that loyal they are not aware of how mediocre Cunard's entrainment is . I still like the ships despite this. I believe no one travels Cunard for the entertainment.
