Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate each evening in the Brittania Restaurant, 2nd sitting, and the food was always top notch. Had the Lido most days at Breakfast and always had plenty of choice of good food.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Didn't do many activities, just Bingo a couple of times, there was plenty going on, but we tended to do our own thing.

Book Shop

5 out of 5

An amazing Library at sea!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the Royal Theatre Company in Hollywood Rocks - outstanding. The 2 Guest speakers were a bit niche and very 'HighBrow , although Midge Ure was great. Also, The Blue Jays were fantastic, as was Mike Doyle, who was exceptional

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All waiters were great, our room steward, Roy, went over and above!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Our 1st Cunard Cruise and very impressed with the ships design, and we never had any issue with cleanliness, especially in the navy toilets around the ship.
