Travelling with Cunard was my first cruise, and basically I was very unsure as I have dreaded the idea of 2000 people on a boat and I have a few food allergies.
From the moment we boarded I was absolutely in love with the boat, the decor, the very friendly staff and most of all the menus in the restaurants. The head waiter in our restaurant would give me the next day’s menu and told me that the chef could make any dish safe for me to eat! I never missed out on the most amazing dishes.
I cannot thank the staff enough. The trip has given me confidence in cruising. We had an amazing trip. Thank you Cunard
The staff make the cruise from cleaning staff, dining room, wine waiters, buffet staff, nothing too much trouble. always greet with a smile, no problems very happy with our cruise thank you
