Review summary

Cunard delivers lovely accommodation and food , with beautiful interiors . Outside spaces are tired and lacking compared to other cruise lines. A lovely holiday but cunard excursion to Hamburg ruined it for us. Rusty dirty pools with broken tiles. First cruise we have never been able to swim.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good size but smallish bathroom . Balcony spacious with opening doors to neighbouring cabin . Lots of wardrobe space and good size safe. Tea and coffee facilities with replenished biscuits tea and coffee and milk. Uk and us plugs.

Ship tip

Interior twenties retro and beautiful but outside tired and lacking enough swimming areas and pool side bars . Ok for winter holidays would have been disappointed if summer and wanting to swim . Other cruise lines leave outside spaces standing .

We were on the QM2 in 2018. Ship was fresh out of dry dock. Rust was everywhere on the outside.
