Queen Victoria Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall a lovely cruise with a few unfortunate drawbacks. No one's fault that the wind messed up the Cape Town and Walvis Bay stops. The respiratory virus nicknamed the Cunard cough could have been mitigated if ship had mandated that people who were sick stay in their rooms or wear masks when in public. Having people constantly cough on you in bars, restaurants and buses was insane. The GI issue that was reported prior to getting to San Francisco and subsequently occurred again after leaving South Africa was concerning. I think they focused too much on food handling and not on contaminated water in the rooms.

We went with my sister and had the most wonderful time. Enjoyed the shows so much. Meals were so wonderful and all staff so friendly. We meet so many wonderful fellow voyagers. Some were even from our state of Tennessee. The galas were wonderful and enjoyed getting dressed up and felt very special.

We saw the Northern Lights on 3 nights. The ship announces the sightings in public spaces and in the cabins. We will sail with Cunard again. We have cruised 5 times. Each time was with a different cruise line. My sister and I agree this was the best.

Wonderful shipboard experience. Highly recommended. Great ports. Take advantage of experiences through Cunard!

Slow pace, boring ship, best food ever, nice ports although Cunard tours are all way too short. Will not repeat.

Great cruise. I am a solo senior traveler and enjoy Cunard very much. I frequently meet other solo travelers and others who share interests. I enjoy the range of dining choices that Cunard offers. I never find the ships, cramped or crowded although they are completely booked. I did not wait in a line anywhere. Nice stateroom and good service.

Lovely ship, great service. But few interesting activities and minimalist casino.

We chose this cruise because we liked the places it was going to go, some of us wanted more seatime to take advantage of all the activities offered onboard, we were able to use FF miles for our flights and the timing though not perfect for us was doable. Our concerns were that Cunard might be more formal than we wanted to be on vacation and I have to admit it was. Dressing for dinner and the shows every night required packing a lot of clothes. I'm not sure I would choose Cunard again.

Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend Cunard. Service and quality of entertainment superior.

Absolutely love Cunard. Service and staff are top notch!

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise on Cunard Queen Victoria. The service was excellent.

Positives were few and stated above. This ship was driven through very rough seas at one point almost hurricane force. My wife was terrified, sick, and crying so often. The last 2 nights she was unable to eat or sleep. I will have a tough time ever getting her to sail again. If winter is this rough you should know this and not schedule cruises from these ports. Our money and time was wasted.

wonderfull trip, we enjoyed and ate too much! everything was good except the shows, wich we anticipated to be much better. i will recommend to adult peaple to join cunrad ships

A class experience all the way. Cunard provides the excellent British nautical atmosphere a cruise should have. Great service, great food, without the gimmicks.

Enjoyed the trivia games, bingo and great food. The service was impeccable. The stops were great, but I was disappointed that we didn't land in Madeira due to high waves preventing the tender from landing, but the fireworks were fantastic. Originally, this was supposed to be a docking port, but it changed before the cruise. Really good lecturers on the royal family and Cunard history.

let me start with they told us to meet them in the wrong place ! ports times changed daily! food was not good in most of the places  food was very BLAND they gave you to eat! the duty free and gift shop over charge twice as much if not more.and not a lot of things to choose from. exchange rate was the same for the whole 11 days. tv was a few shows shown over and over everyday. internet was not cheap. ELEVATORS were not marked clear how to get to all DECKS! port times were very short. very limted things to do everday. trip was setup for MUCH OLDER GROUP OF PEOPLE! staff was good. and ship is kept very clean. have to pay for soda and have to wait a long time to get it. and if you don't carry you card with you 24/7 you will not get it or anything else.

Traveling in Queen's Grill was the best cruising experience ever, even though we had the lowest category Q6.  From the check-in we simply walked aboard.  The suite was huge and we enjoyed the included bar set-up with wine and a bottle of Bailey's.   When the wine was gone, they brought a new bottle.  The soft drink supply in our room "mini-bar" was re-stocked every morning.  Our butler brought canapés each evening and tea time was perfect.  We only did the tea time once because we ate too much!  The staff aboard was friendly and very professional at every turn.  The only negative was an error on our bill the last evening.

We shall return to Cunard in the not-to-distant future.

Cruise are lovely and clean.  Staff and crew are very helpful and fun with us.  We are deaf,  Crew and staff are good understand.  Food are very nice.  we stayed different places.  We like Rome, Florence, Pisa and Barcelona.  Very interested see ball room dancing every night.  We are disappointed nothing else if we don't want stay to watch Ballroom.  

Loved the cruise but could have had better port lectures. Food and crowd control for breakfast could have been improved. Beds were spectacular. Flat screen and bigger tvs would have been better. Food was good but not as much variety as I remember from previous cruises for lunch.

Very relaxing cruise. Mostly elder crowd, much different than the cruises that I have taking in the Caribbean. Overall, great food, staff, and amenities.
