Cunard Queen Elizabeth Reviews

I was just looking through the cruises to book one for my Birthday and realized that I hadn’t written a review after we came off the maiden World voyage of the Queen Elizabeth, in April 2011 it was fantastic 105 days around the WORLD. We met lots of nice people and made a lot of friends. The cabin was Beautiful we had a deluxe Balcony and Club Dining, (well worth paying the extra ) the staff were fantastic, in total there were approx 680 people that actually did the world cruise we saw so many beautiful places and the one that stood out the most was Vietnam it was beautiful, Nearly every floor had a Launderette with iron /board soap powder dryers was provided ,the shows were great, but when your on the ship for so long become repetitive, we did a lot of trips from the quay side our selves you just negotiate with the taxi driver a price and how long you want him for or where you want to go. While back on board if you like to sing you can do that as well they hold talent shows in the Queens Ballroom, also in the pub in the evening you can sing to karaoke take your own CDs backing tracks it was great

My Husband and I have just returned from our first ever cruise, it was the new year Getaway 5 nights on board the Queen Elizabeth. I have to say Cunard knows how to provide every comfort and service to its clients, congratulations Cunard, I will definitely be a return guest.

We sailed New York to Southampton 17-24 November 2011 on Queen Mary 2. Our expectations were high, based on comments we had received from friends who had made the same voyage, but somehow they managed to exceed them. The entire ship was immaculate, stateroom excellent (Exceptionally comfortable beds!), food plentiful, delicious and well presented, entertainment splendid and the Staff scrupulously polite, respectfully friendly, helpful in every way and consummate professionals. Captain Oprey has a fantastic Team supporting him. The RADA workshops were great fun, the Comedian hilarious, on-board actors and dancers superb....as good as any West End production. Albeit this is a huge ship somehow it also manages to be intimate. We are already planning our 2012 schedule!

Queen Elizabeth is a new ship of Cunard and we had a 5 night cruise with them departing at Southampton. We appreciate the service of the Royal Arcade shop very much. I had ordered and made hampers that they sent to my parents' home as I wished. There were also a large art shop and exhibition area. Besides, they even have a shop selling various Apple products which are my favourite! They are selling Apple PCs, iPods and iPads! The garden lounge is large with glass roof and I like it very much! The commodore lounge is a great bar and offers magnificent panoramic view!

Queen Elizabeth is a ship with great looking decoration. The ship is very classy but at the same time very stylish. I was very impressed with all aspects of the ship and its staff members. Everything in the ship is very grand, including the lobby, the Royal Arcade and the casino. Actually, even the staircase is very grand and beautiful. We love the food on board. Especially, the food we had in Queens Grill was amazing. There were many choices for the food, including set menu as well as a la carte for dinner. We like the ship very much and will surely on sail with them soon.

We spent a superb fifteen days onboard the Queen Elizabeth this June on her maiden voyage around the Baltic Sea and are still talking about it to anyone who will listen. The lavish decor and the tasteful furnishings make this ship the most luxurious we have experienced (so far) and the cabin, dining facilities and entertainment were of a quality seldom encountered for the money we paid. There was always something new to explore onboard and the day-time activities, whilst at sea, were excellent. As practicing Catholics we also found it reassuring that mass was available to us every day and the crew were just brilliant when it came to seeking help or information. We would definitely sail on the Queen Elizabeth again!

We have just come back from the Autumn Retreat cruise which took us to Amsterdam, Bruges and Le Havre. The trip was excellent, being in a port everyday, we certainly didn't have time to get bored. The ship is beautiful and being 1 year old hasn't devloped any creaks or rattles yet. We had a 16 year old with us and as there were 70 teenagers on board, we didn't see much of him, good for us as parents and him as a teenager. There were some things which we found frustrating, having no kettle in the cabin meant we had to ring for room service which took an average of 20 minutes each time just to get a cup of tea in the morning. I understand their desire to serve you, which is admirable, but sometimes you just want to do something for yourself. We frequently ending up going up to the buffet restaurant, as did many people we noticed just to get a cup of tea or coffee and take it back to our cabin. Overall we found the staff extremly well mannered and attentive and having only gone with P&O cruises before, would certainly think about trying them again.

Our second cruise and we had decided that if we didn't like this one, then cruising was not for us. We were not disappointed. Queen Elizabeth is a beautiful ship and we were given a very warm welcome at the various ports, no doubt in part because the Queen Elizabeth was on its maiden year. Quality of service and food could not be faulted and the white star service was excellent. Complimentary buses were laid on at the ports which made getting into town easy and very organized. Facilities on board were excellent and the absence of children also gave the ship a more dignified air. Cunard will definitely be on our list when the time comes to choose our next holiday.

Elegant, sophisticated and regal - but lacking in adequate childrens' facilities. The staff generally were very good. The food was very good, and the choices offered impressive. The afternoon tea service is a wonderful experience, not to be missed The cabin we had was clean and the housekeeping was faultless. Cleaned twice a day, to a very high standard. Entertainment was good, not too lively, but catering to the needs of the older generation. The performances in the theatre were my favourite, very high standard of performing.

We have just returned from a five-day mini-cruise on the Queen Elizabeth - and we loved it! The ship is beautifully designed and finished, and it has an amazing ability to absorb a large number of people without ever seeming crowded. There are many places to relax - our favourite was the Commodore Club, which enjoys great views over the front of ship. Our cabin was very tasteful finished, and the (metal fronted) balcony larger than we expected. The entertainment was good - especially the comedian and impressionist Allan Stewart, who was brilliant. Best of all though was the service, as other reviewers have commented. Cunard seem to have managed to achieve a great combination of warmth, friendliness and efficiency. Any gripes - none of the ship, but some other passengers seem to spend all their time trying to find fault and whining loudly to anyone who might be forced to listen. To my mind, they should do what everyone else does - enjoy a beautiful ship with a great crew - or go on another ship!
