We recently went on a 12 night cruise to The Canaries. This is the first time we have travelled on the Elizabeth and I must say that we were not disappointed. The staff were excellent in every area, always polite and extremely helpful. The ship was beautiful and in great condition. The food as always was plentiful and excellent, some people comment that the meal portions in the Britannia restaurant are small, but to be fair by the time you’ve had all the breakfast you can eat, lunch, afternoon tea, and any in between snacks you fancy, the well done to you if you can eat a late meal of gargantuan proportions. My waistline hasn’t forgiven me yet. So my advice is, if you want to experience cruising with complete elegance then book with confidence, and don’t worry if you think it will be too fussy, the staff are so wonderful and efficient they put you completely at ease.

went on a 2 night mini cruise to Bruges via Zeebrugge as a single passenger. check in was quick and smooth my cabin was on deck 2 one of the very few single cabins they have onboard. I was very impressed with the cabin, enough space, the bed was a good size more like a small double instead of a single. A nice welcoming bottle of sparkling wine, large TV and excellent toiletries in the bathroom. Good entertainment on board. Live music, games the library, had a great day in Bruges the next day by taking the excursion coach from Zeebrugge to Bruges and back all for just 20 Euros. The Captain was excellent, Only negative was being a single passenger having to eat in the Britannia Restaurant with 2 couples and was totally left out and feeling isolated on the first night and uncomfortable So the second night ate in the Lido Buffet. good short cruise but the company should seat single passengers with other single passengers not with couples.

First went on this ship in 2016 and was amazed by everything however we did a return trip on the 2 night mini cruise to Zeebrugge. Ship looking worn despite the refit, (see attached photo from Britannia restaurant - the design amuses me!) the buffet restaurant now has an awful layout with very poor food and poor choice. The food in the Britannia restaurant has also gone downhill. The worst part was breakfast on the last day as the buffet was so crammed there were queues so by the time we got to the food there was genuinely only scraps left. Being a mini cruise we weren’t expecting miracles however much worse than expected as the ship was crammed with rowdy people who would have been more suited to a boozy break in Magaluf. It honestly reminded me of a cruise I took on P&O Britannia to Spain. Dress code not enforced in Britannia restaurant as it had been on a recent trip on Queen Mary. Saw a group that I can only assume must have been on a joint stag/hen as all in same fluorescent clothing. All in all this was not a great cruise even the staff not as good as they once were. I was disappointed that Cunard were taking this ship out of the UK for the foreseeable but now I couldn’t care less. Would not go back in a hurry.

The ship itself is amazing and we had a great short mini cruise. The evening meal that you have a sitting time for, was tiny. Each course I’d describe as starter size. The Lido food was a mish mash of everything. Not brilliant to be honest. If you want to buy a Rolex than all the on board shops will keep you happy. The staff are all great. Polite and helpful. The Theatre was great and so was the show. I took motion sickness pills as am not great on ships and wasn’t ill at all. It was ruff on the return journey so the ship doesn’t Pitch about like a ferry. I wouldn’t book this ship again for more than the two night mini cruise.
