Queen Mary 2 Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Fabulous staff, food, entertainment, and tours. Captain did a great job of keeping us out of the heavy storms so cruise was relatively calm overall.

The phony drinks package. You are offered beverages up to $12 each. But nearly all cocktail and wine selections cost over $13, and if you exceed the $12 ceiling by even $.01, you are charged the entire price.

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.

Lovely way to enjoy the holiday and watch fireworks during July 4 party

Really exceptional cruise with just a few minor glitches. The best part was the crew - from the Captain on down. They were all courteous and willing to help out with a positive attitude.

I would not go again on Cunard. It is not a luxury cruise line.

No heat for the entire cruise in my room. Terrible food. Cunard is trading on an image of the distant past. Lectures were excellent. Very very disappointed. So much so I've written and asked for compensation. This was so bad as to be offensive. First night I waited 90 minutes for a slice of chicken spam. Left to get room service. I can't upload photos because their website is not working.

Our first Cunard experience -- rather different than our more recent cruising adventures, and we enjoyed it! Cunard are holding on to many of the services other lines are dropping which we appreciate including: 24 room service at no charge, turn down service in the cabin/2X per day clean up, classical music in different venues, full house band, full production shows (singers AND dancers). Also, very relaxing, intellectually stimulating with multiple lectures on varied and interesting topics, and lots of varied music options. Food was outstanding: good, high quality selections prepared with care.

During our voyage, the Middle Eastern leg of the journey was unexpectedly cancelled and substituted with a revised itinerary featuring the same ports, minus two. While understandable, it would have been ideal if alternative destinations were selected to maintain the original excitement and variety. Furthermore, we felt that the brief, single-day stops at certain ports were insufficient, leaving us longing for more time to explore and experience the local culture.

Our 4th transatlantic voyage on the QM2 over a 20-year period. Possibly our last. Overall service is a little less attentive. Food the entire week was dissappointing, as was the entertainment.

This was our first last-minute cruise, booking ~30d before departure so many of the excursions were already waitlisted and our preferred dining option was initially not available. The ship's company was able to help us get things that worked well for us and made the week enjoyable. We were fortunate with GREAT weather. Our only rain/wind was passing through tropical storm remnants on one of our at-sea days. The ship handled force 9 winds/rough seas very well. Though you could see the waves and feel the winds, the ship rocked lightly. We are already talking about doing this itinerary again someday.

The Queen is getting old and needs a full paint job all over, salt corrosion is deteriorating this beautiful transatlantic, dry docking should be on the horizon.

This is a fine ship for a transatlantic cruise. It is smooth and stabile, and offers enough to keep you busy if you want to be busy, but also places to just relax.

I thank my agent for her efficiency in booking my trips.

The balcony was useless. The staff seemed sad and unfriendly. The buffet was small and mediocre. But it was still a very nice way to get across the pond and I'd do it again. I just wouldn't pay for a balcony.

My wife and I enjoyed this cruise. We both agreed that we would consider cruising with Cunard in the future.

Getting on the ship was a nightmare as we stood in line for over 5 hrs. (no water, no food, no bathrooms). And, we missed a day of cruising. The worst part was lack of communication and organization. If we had been told what was going on, (union worker, no access to the manifest system, non working ramp), it would have made a world of difference to our attitude and opinion of Cunard. And, a PA system could have solved so many problems for the 2 young Cunard employees trying to reassure the over 2K crowd. Once on board, the world opened up to a truly wonderful experience. The ship is gorgeous, our suite was comfortable and beautifully appointed. The service we received thoughout our voyage was unsurpassed. Some of the excursion were dissapointing simply because the weather would not permit them. Can't control the weather so, no big issue here. As this was our first cruise ever, the initial impression was not favorable. This has changed and we are excited to see a future cruising. Thank you!

A museum cruise. Lots of artifacts of cruising past. Lavish elegant passageways. But don't expect modern cruising experiences. Take it for what it is...

As they say on their gala night "Dress to impress." So it is all a show to look good, not really serve their passengers well. Good style is to make passengers comfortable, not just look good.

Ship was nice we had calm seas most of the way. One day we had gale force winds, but couldn't tell on the ship. Food was very good
