Review summary

We had a great time visiting all the destinations this cruise offered but were a bit disappointed by the onboard food and entertainment. The staff was phenomenal and had no issues. Beware of extremely high service charges but they can be removed if you ask.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy and efficient. Smooth process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was decent but was expecting high quality and tasting dishes. Most days the buffet had better food than the main dining rooms.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Activities were centered around the older crowd (60+). Cunard had mostly entirely music entertainment with not much variety.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

All musicians were professional and very good.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Reasonable size, could have been a bit bigger with more shelves but it served its purpose and we were comfortable.

Ship tip

If you are below 50 and want other than musical entertainment consider another cruise line.
