Cunard Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Reviews

This transatlantic crossing was the second cruise of the "Three Cunard Queens" package we had booked and we were really looking forward to travelling on the world's only operational ocean liner. Departure was from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and was conducted efficiently and our luggage was delivered quite quickly. Sailing out of New York past the Statue of Liberty then under the Verrazzano ...

Celebrate 4th of July on a cruise - my first cruise with Cunard and my last. Embarkation was totally skewed. Ship arrived 6 hours late however there was no order to embarkation. No one had any idea what was happening and total disregard for communication to passengers. We waited over 6 hours to board all of which we were standing and not moving. Passengers were falling down and getting very ...

Our embarkation was a complete nightmare!!! The cruise was delayed 6 hrs, totally understandable given the circumstances. What wasn’t ok was the chaos that was referred to as embarkation. We stood on line for 3.5 hours. My husband’s back was so bad he didn’t recover the entire cruise. We tried to get him a wheelchair, totally impossible. There were so few available for many people. He took to ...

We thought it be nice to spend a week on QM2 and booked two Queen's Grill suites to travel with my family. However starting with a horrific boarding experience the cruise barley got any better for us. As other have posted, boarding the ship was total chaos. 4 hours of standing in line with no food or beverage is a horrible way to treat your guests. Zero priority given to Queens Grill guests ...

Cunard sent a rather casual email to passengers about a day before embarkation saying we should add 6 hours to our assigned boarding time due to a medical emergency. There was no other update from them so we added about about 5 hours to our boarding time only to find a very long queue and total chaos.As we waited we learned that some passengers never received an email informing of the 6 hour ...

I just got off the Queen Mary 2 on a 7-Day New York to Canada and return cruise. I must say I had great expectations for this cruise. However they were squashed immediately with the four and a half hour embarkation line at Brooklyn terminal. Lots of finger pointing going around as to why it took so long needless to say there was no first day at sea, no first evening dinner, no afternoon sail away, ...

In the wake of the the Halifax medical emergency delay and the horrible experience for those embarking after our Crossing, here are some thoughts to focus solely on our just finished TA experience. Note it’s our first time in “Grills” - PG for our 30th anniversary. Also, we’re not , we just like the Cunard vibe. Princess Grill Experience: Cabin is certainly a nice upgrade with tons of ...

My wife and I are both in our 60s, and have never cruised before. So please excuse any naïve comments resulting from our lack of experience! We arrive in NYC in two days time, and let me say firstly that we have had a wonderful time. We booked a Britannia Club Balcony stateroom, which includes open dining in the excellent Britannia Club restaurant. Our stateroom was exactly as described, with ...

We've cruised about 25 times and this was I believe the 5th trip on the QM2 - one of the worst experiences we've had. The ship felt cheap. Meals in the dining room were well prepared, but were extremely small portions. There used to be (pre-covid) standard options (steak, salmon, chicken) daily if you didn't like the featured items, but no longer. The theater entertainment felt more amateurish ...

There are already some reviews of the voyage from June 9th to June 23rd - so I thought I have to throw in my two cents...! This voyage marked my 10th voyage on QM2- so kind of a little Jubilee. Two voyages with QV and QE throwen in. I rebooked to this voyage after I had to cancel my planed Transatlantic in April for some family issues- turned out that both legs of said TA- Crossing where ...
