Review summary

Standards are slipping a bit on Cunard. One of the pleasures is that passengers dress well for all dinners and formal for two dinners. However, staff does not enforce the dress code and ragamuffin diners bring down the experience.

Varied from good to excellent, not quite as good as last time. The Verandah was excellent.

Thanks for your review. A lot of the staff were transferred to Cunard's new ship Queen Anne, so service has dropped and enforcement of the dress code has to, unfortunately.

Unless people are walking into dining room in wearing running shorts, tee shirt and flip flops, I have no issues on non formal nights, I don't let petty things like that bother me. I'm there to eat dinner, not judge a fashion show.
