Queen Mary 2 Reviews
View Cruise DealsI had a lovely transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2. I enjoyed the trip and the Cunard service was exactly as it always is. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that the Planetarium is no longer used. On so many previous trips on the Queen Mary 2, the shows in the Planetarium and the use of the system by onboard guest astronomers were real highlights of the cruise. It's such a pity that it is no longer used.
We had a very spacious cabin , sea view 4015. Easy to get to dining room, laundry. Shower room adequate. Decor on QM2 was very bright & uplifting. We thoroughly enjoyed Christmas & New Year on her
We stayed in a sheltered balcony on deck 6 near the Aft, the cabin is a lovely size and has plenty of storage although for us on a 27 night cruise we felt the hanging space was a bit limited. The Bathroom is a good size with everything you need. Of course with QM2 the ship is the destination and she doesn’t disappoint, there are lots of comfortable areas to sit and watch the world go by, the staff were exceptional and apart from one encounter we felt they were very attentive, friendly and went above and beyond to make you feel like the only person in the world! There is always something to do, even if that it just to allow yourself to switch off and relax! Would highly recommend this Christmas cruise and doing the transatlantic is just iconic and one to tick off the bucket list
Average - American-oriented. At Britannia Restaurant 2nd. seating often cold - retunred to have it heated up again. Early breakfast at Britannia Restaurant nice and freshly prepared. App-booking system unrelayable. Unfortunately, QM2 is looking more and more somewhat worn. Cabin Steward great. Missed the general warmth of waiter staff in the restaurants.
On the whole it was ok. Entertainment was poor with low quality guest entertainers and very few production shows. Food, good quality ingredients but always lukewarm. Christmas and New Year events were good and the Christmas decorations were nice.
Balcony cabin 8064 is not partially obstructed but totally obstructed. Very disappointed with that element. The toilet roll holder was annoying too low and the toilet roll would fall off when half full. . Crew were good. Food in the Brittania restaurant has definitely gone downhill and isn’t what you would expect on Cunard. Also staff levels are lower and waiters are rushed off their feet. The smoking area, the one and only area on the ship, was small and congested. I’m not a smoker but the QM2 has made it uncomfortable for fellow guests who are smokers. The Queen Victoria is very good for smokers and doesn’t infringe on the non smokers.
Holiday was disappointing, the ship felt under-staffed over the festive season, so became rushed and unwelcoming. Dogs on board all over the ship seemed to present a potential hazard to guests with allergies.
Best cruise ever, everything was superb but th. e qm2 needs refurbishing
Lovely classy ship, wonderful crew and good food, cabin was good, bathroom fine if a little small, the best thing about the ship as compared to others is that it is a quiet ship, even in the busiest places it is never to noisy and there are plenty of very quiet corners to escape to.
Queen Mary 2 is very special and you are made to feel relaxed and well looked after. Beautiful decor, great food and service. Lots to do both day and night from day classes to evening shows. It really is in a class of its own!
