From us stepping aboard to leaving back at Southampton every aspect of our trip was superb. Everyone we had any dealings with treated us very well indeed. The accommodation, food and entertainment were all top class. Add in great places to stop off and explore and our glowing recommendation is well merited.
A stunning new ship. The staterooms have plenty of charging points so no need to take loads of adapters and the bathroom has a proper shower cubicle. The speciality restaurants are worth the extra surcharge Sir Samuel’s is wonderful. The evening dress code is strictly adhered to but there are plenty of places to be casual if that’s what you want. The app to book dining, excursions etc works very well but you don’t have to use it you can talk to a person! You can recognise where they filmed the TV advert. All staff were excellent.
We had a lovely week on board the Queen Anne up to Norway and Denmark Fabulous balcony room; amazing steward who was marvellous. Thanks Regie. The food was good. Breakfast in the room at no extra charge. The buffet was ok; a bit complex with no trays given out and everything served to you from behind the glass. It got a bit disorganised at times. The fine dining was nice; great service. most of the tables for two are too close to each other - barely a gap at all , making it awkward for everyone who requested tables for two as it would be rude not to speak. We loved the swimming pools and the size of the ship - (not too big) The shows were fantastic but I don’t recommend the one called Fizz (not brilliant and certainly not worth an extra charge) The ships dancers and singers and all the standard shows were outstanding. No Captains Cocktails in a one week voyage; that’s changed. Sparkling wine delivered to the room was A nice touch though. Please include tips upfront in the voyage costs like other cruise lines are starting to do. Pay the staff their money without the tips influencing their final salary. It isn’t a nice way to run a business. They deserve more money tips aside. Overall we had a thoroughly great time and would highly recommend Cunard and the Queen Anne.
Luxury settings and excellent up market treatment from professional staff. Sporting facilities very good, but very limited in use without the constant team present as on P&O ships. Drinks prices very high. Food in self service very good, in the restaurant average. I would expect luxuries like lobster on the menu for the cruise at this price . Queuing at start and end of the cruise not good, with handling of luggage for flight not available. Much walking on and off at ports not good for me. Where was the needed mini transport? My partner wanted more disco type dancing, for the plentiful ballroom dancing was of to a high standard . Personally, we like popular well known music and songs as given by the excellent pianist, rather than unfamiliar music and themed productions such as for the twin tower destruction.
