Queen Mary 2 Cruise Reviews - Reviews

To be honest, we couldn’t wait to get off !! This was not what we expected at all. The ship is grubby and outdated. Most of the staff are not helpful. The food in the Queens Grille is average quality and the choice very poor. The aim of everyone on the ship is to charge you as much as they can. To top it all off we were in thick fog for the whole trip. Couldn’t go on deck or balcony as it was damp and raining. The indoor spa area is horrendous and a health hazard. How Cunard get away with this, I will never know!

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

It was a wonderful experience. The transatlantic crossing was peaceful, the ports were great, The designer of the ship was one of the speakers…very interesting! It was not an experience like a Caribbean cruise…it had a much older and sedate group of passengers.

food mostly average, terrible soups, good bakery, exellent sashimi station the veranda restaurant was good but not exellent. Cabin was good but our bedding were never changed, terrible internet did not work in cabin. Most shows were exellent

After easy embarkation process, the cruise set sail weathering a storm out of New York with minimal turbulence felt aboard. Food, cabin and entertainment all par excellence! All the Caribbean ports lovely. Cruise ended with well organized disembarkation. As a solo traveler, I was extremely happy!!!

I loved the experience of the westbound crossing...watching our departure from Southampton, the gala nights, the food, the ship design, star gazing, spotting other vessels, arriving in New York. It was everything I was hoping for. I plan to try an eastbound crossing or, even better, a roundtrip next!

Not my style. It was interesting to see how the Brits enjoy themselves but all in all it was a very old crowd. First and last time for me. The wifi was very expensive and extremely poor.

Plusses: you arrive without jet-lag. The food in the main dining room is varied and good. The buffet is poorly laid out and under-staffed. The staterooms are in need of an update. The crew and staff are friendly and attentive. But beware of the North Atlantic in a time of year when storms are more likely if you have any problems with motion sickness.

Weather impacted departure from port day one but time was made up. Missed 2 ports due to high seas but a substitute (Brugges) was added. Overall impressed by the quick response of the entertainment team and crew. Excellent experience!

Qm2, not a cruise line I would go on again, not my style of cruising, way to sedate, more for 80+ cruisers

Having been on many cruises before we other lines, we didn’t know what to expect on this liner but we were pleasantly surprised but a little disappointed with the choice of menu and had to keep asking for more in the buffet, very small portions offered at first

Transatlantic in July. Wife said ‘no way’.. now we are fans of the queen. Classic, no kiddie frills make her majestic and elegant. Wonderful dining in the Britiana but the steak house is not to be missed. Only issue is the bartenders strictly pour their drinks.

Overall we really enjoyed the cruise. The ship was pleasant, food and service was good. Excursions were pleasant. It was a nice getaway for the 4th of July week.nI would recommend it to everyone.

The embarkation was the worst part of the cruise; whenever you met a new face, we all shared our travails of the embarkation. Passengers were all pleasant. The Cunard staff service was mediocre; no good mornings, hellos, and a lot of eye rolling...too bad. I will not be a returning customer.

Apart from the embarkation, the QM2 is a remarkable ship. The staff is very friendly and capable. The stateroom was very comfortable. Many food choices from the Britannia to the smaller venues. Wide choices at the bars. Enjoyed dressing up for the two fancy nights.

Love, love, love the QM2. The cruising experience is exceptional. Embarking and disembarking are the only downsides. Not well organized, very slow, very tedious. But the rest is glorious!
