Queen Mary 2 Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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

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
