Queen Mary 2 Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

We got to see the Northern Lights in style. Job done!

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!

A short two night sailing to try QM2 which was in general just OK

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!

Superb ship, superb staff, superb food, all spoiled by a disastrous embarkation attributable, I suspect, to Gross understaffing by Cunard.

Amazing, relaxing, and fun filled voyage with delicious food, and great ambience created by the wonderful personnel onboard. I would like to highlight and commend on the professional and courteous treatment provided by the casino staff, specifically from Romulus, Jeffrey, the slot machine manager, Caroline and the bar attendant whose name escapes me. Thanks to all for an amazing time!

2 DAYS BEFORE OUR DEPARTURE CUNARD LIFTED ALL PASSENGER MASK REQUIREMENTS. CREW STILL HAD TO WEAR MASKS AT ALL TIMES. SOME SEATS IN THE THEATERS WERE STILL BLOCKED OFF FOR SPACING. THE VOYAGE WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING BACK TO A PRE-COVID CROSSING ON THE QM2. IN SOME WAYS, WITH A REDUCED PASSENGER LOAD, FULL CREW COMPLEMENT AND EXTRA ENTERTSINMENT, IT WAS EVEN BETTER.

This is our Transatlantic voyage. Loved Winchester England and the Cathedral. Going eastbound was smooth sailing. In fact I needed to look out to make sure the water was moving past the ship. It was almost as if we were in port. Just amazing!

Amazing cruise that included a beautiful ship, nice Balcony Club stateroom, friendly professional staff, great food, loved the different bars/lounges, relaxing, great entertainment. Would do this cruise all over again.

The Queen Mary 2 does not live up to its reputation. The ship shows wear. The officers and crew are less friendly than we’ve experienced on prior ships. The ships maze-like layout is odd and confusing. The one lecture we attended on giving a good speech was about the worst speech I’ve ever heard. Worst is that any concerns raised are dismissed.

Nice to be back to the grand ship after two years.
