Exceptional in my mind. Dining experience second to none. Cunard knows how to do it and do it well. Can't wait until my next cruise with Cunard.

Cunard cruise by the North Atlantic coast with various shore stops. This was our first cruise after the Covid restrictions, ( taken in late 2021). We were impressed with the measures both before departure and on board taken to ensure our safety from catching Covid. We had great table service in the dining room and an excellent steward looking after the cabin. Whilst we didn't make as much use of the public areas as normally, given the circumstances, it was an excellent voyage and gave us the welcome family break we were looking forward to.

An amazing cruise to get back out and about after lockdown. The cuisine was incredible, along with service. We felt luxury throughout the ship.. Visits to Cadiz, La Corona , Malaga and Lisbon were easy for off shore excursions visiting local towns , The excursion of our choice was the horse riding in the foot hills which we found really enjoyable in our small group . Can’t wait for the next cruise - Thank you Cunard

Disappointed!!!..... was really looking forward to our first ever Cunard cruise but have to say it was not a happy ship. The first bar we went into was dull and uninviting and..... cold. And remained so for the rest of the cruise. The shopping Arcade was the same. No customers, no nice smiley faces, and no sale days where the tables were out displaying any sale items. The only positive memories were the evening dining which was the best we have ever eaten on any cruise and we’ve been on a few, and just two theatre events ( in 14 nights) who were very good. No lasting memories and no new friends forged.. won’t be doing Cunard again.☹️

Thoroughly enjoyed cruise with my wife and daughter. Short break to Amsterdam. Ship very clean and sensible Covid measures in public areas. Service in main restaurant was good, although there was some variation in the speed of service on some nights. Dined in the Verandah Steakhouse and the meal and service was absolutely excellent and well worth the additional dining charge.

Highly pleased with virtually all aspects of the cruise. Hygiene and health are high up the list. Comfortable well-appointed stateroom; excellent meals prepared to the highest standard; excellent staff, range of activities from lectures, to theatrical events, musical themes, art, science and history lectures and particularly impressive was the fact that church services were available. For the musical and theatrical events a great amount of effort went into preparing these. Not recommended was the internet and wi-fi which was expensive and limited to one appliance (unless a premium was paid), in some cases short stays in port and an archaic and expensive gratuities system set in US dollars

Although we stayed in a Queens Grille Suite, its layout was not as accommodating as, for example, Neptune Suites on Holland America. Also, the corridor outside our suite was more reminiscent of a hospital - white, with no wall deoration. Excursions were vastly overpriced. The cruise itinerary was changed, but we were not informed of this until long after we had departed from Southampton. The food and entertainment were excellent.

We traveled on the Queen Elizabeth to Norway for 12 days. Loved the ship, the staff were very attentive and helpful, dining was fabulous never any complaints about any meal the ship is spacious bright and beautifully decorated. I am disabled but there was nothing they didn’t cater for.

This was our first cruise with Cunard and we were keen to compare it with the other 10 cruises we had enjoyed. We got a surprisingly good price and wondered why this was!
Every part of the cruise was first class and was exactly what we were looking for.
The cruise started with 3 sea days and this was readily used to find our way around, find the games and tuition in bridge for my wife and table tennis for me.
The food was very good, loved the ceremony of afternoon tea and always indulged in the late night snacks. You do not have to eat too much on a cruise - just eat sensibly.
Staff members were always polite, helpful & ready for a bit of banter. Entertainment was of a high standard - at one stage there were 3 pianists giving daily stints.
Downside? The info provided about the ports was not too good. Just a map is not enough. Just a lecture presentation was below expectation.
We like to go ashore & find our own way around; thus shore excursions have not been assessed

Embarking was fine but disembarking was a fiasco. There was a sudden growth in requests for assistance in leaving the ship, the queue at leaving the ship was long, guests were ignoring their allotted time of departure and the numbers of assisted guests were pushed to the front of the queue. This destroyed any sense of Covid requirements such as social distancing etc. The suitcases had very limited selection of colours/numbers and as such guests were moving backwards and forwards to locate suitcases, again destroying Covid requirements. Food was fine and service was good but at times there were insufficient numbers of crew serving you in the buffet. We had our two day pre departure tests and the following day arrived at our penultimate port where seven ambulances arrived at the dockside and removed those guests who tested positive. This we were surprised at as there were quarantine staterooms available. We wouldn’t cruise with Cunard again as we felt that there was a lack of support to those guests who were positive with Covid.

The start of the cruise was unusual, it was too rough out at the Nab for the pilot to safely disembark, so we were 28 hrs late leaving. Not really a problem as it was due to be a sea day. It meant that Tenerife had to be missed out. We know it well, so not a problem.
I marked the excursions down as the trip to see Lobos island was a waste of money - boat scruffy, no commentary and all we saw was the sea. Not told, but suspect it was too rough to get near the shore and see the reserve, yes Cunard do know. Rest of excursions were fine. The visit to the Spanish riding School was outstanding and I was able to stock up on my favourite Tio Pepe, something you can’t do if you are on a fly cruise.
Public rooms were marked down because of the seats, particularly in the garden room, not as good as the QM.
Best part was the crew, all of them, but a special mention for our wine waiter. He knew his job and he suggested new varieties that we thoroughly enjoyed.
