Cunard Queen Victoria
My wife and I were on a cruise from Chile to Southampton in February/ March 2019. We flew to Santiago to join the ship (Queen Victoria) , sailing back to Southampton via Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Aruba, Curacao, Colombia USA and the Azores. The first part of the voyage was brilliant, visiting fascinating places in South America, including transitting the Panama Canal. However news of the spreading Covid pandemic was reaching the ship and we all wondered what would be the effect on our voyage and return to home. The decision was taken to return to Southampton, missing out Colombia and the Azores and only stopping in Port Lauderdale to pick up provisions and drop off American passengers. We were able to enjoy the full run of the ship with the staff and crew going out of their way to make our changed holiday as full and exciting as possible. Extra activities, shows and concerts were provided as we sailed across the Atlantic to Southampton in more seadays than we had planned for. Arriving in Southampton in lockdown was quite a shock. We have travelled with Cunard many times before and have always thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However this must go down as one of the strangest cruises ever. Having said that, we cannot wait to start cruising again and already have 2 cruises booked for 2022.

Loved the Norwegian towns we visited. Especially loved crossing the arctic circle & experiencing the midnight sun. Queen Anne was beautiful, staff were amazing, many of whom we'd met previously on Q Victoria & Q Elizabeth. As always with Cunard the catering was first class. Loved every minute.

Booked fortnight’s cruise less than four weeks before sailing for a good price, so good value. Food in the main dining room was better than the cruise this time last year on ‘Victoria’ - quality, presentation and taste. The fish in particular was cooked properly. Excellent cleanliness in stateroom. Disappointed with the theatre entertainment - repeats of same performers in same week … Ship’s theatre company did a super performance of ‘Come From Away’, but no real ‘Broadway’ style show with real dancers and costume changes …
