First time on Cunard after many cruises on P and O. I think Cunard beats them in every way, in fact I am completely converted. I just love this ship the interior spaces are amazing especially the Queens Room and Britannia Restaurant. The food in the MDR was very good and the service throughout was excellent. I loved the chart room and commodore club bars. Buffet was really the best I have been to at sea not crowded and plenty of seating. Entertainment could do with being updated I think. The ballroom could vary the events a lot more as ballroom dancing for a small number of people is a bit of a waste for the rest of the passengers just watching on the side lines. The Music was 60’s and 70’s focused and could be updated to include 80’s I think. I Enjoyed the house band, the Motown show and symphony. Kev OrKian was really funny comedian. I didn’t like Ukrainian acrobats. But everyone likes different things I guess. Gala night was special with everyone making an effort. Loved it. Overall I love Cunard and QM2 and I will definitely sail on her again. Highly Recommended.
We considered booking this short cruise after being notified that Cherbourg was being dropped from our Norway cruise itinerary later this year. Mulling it over for 3 weeks, oops, no Grills availability! I called Cunard to check and this was true. However, we could go on a wait list. Convinced that booking was unlikely to happen, we were very surprised to receive an email only 5 days later offering us a midships cabin. On embarkation day there were 4 large ships in port and the Southampton Echo contained warnings of impending traffic chaos (there was none). We were allocated an early arrival time of 11:30am and yet we were onboard and registered at our muster point located in the buffet by 11:45am, before heading up to our cabin. Couldn’t fault anything really on QM2. Any crew, right across the ship, would greet you with a good morning/afternoon, it had such a good vibe onboard. Service in the bars (Chart room, Carinthia, Commodore, Queens room) was excellent. The Queens Grill restaurant was impeccable. Although the ship was fully booked, it didn’t feel like it! Lifts came in an instant each time and usually we were using them alone or with a few others, at most. Yes, some bars were busy when the MDR dining changeovers occurred, but QM2 has the space to feel less crowded. The Gala Night was the usual glamorous event onboard. However, to everyone’s surprise this had been moved from the voyage planner Sunday (sea day) to the Saturday (port day)! Plus, it had now been given the black and white theme too! Unfortunately, industrial action by Zeebrugge port pilots meant that we would no longer be calling at the port and instead we would sail straight to Le Havre and spend 2 days there. So, Saturday did become the sea day for Gala Night, after all. Our main objective of this cruise was to visit the WW2 beaches during D-day week. The only Cunard excursions available, were visits to the American landing beaches on day 4 and 5 of the cruise. Both excursions were very well organised with full itineraries (a full day tour and a half day tour). You could easily spend 2 weeks doing this, so they really were whistle-stop tours with brief stops at each site. However, no time was wasted and to our relief both excursions came from different perspectives. Whilst it would have been good to have visited the British D-day sites, both tours give a poignant insight into the actuality of the beach landings. One of our best Cunard cruises, short, tiring but it delivered everything we wanted (apart from perhaps the irritating new wine list and the 'stateroom canapes from 1972' , but we were expecting those). One of us isn't good in rough seas, but despite one evening having very rough conditions, QM2 showed very little movement.
E.B NYC-Southampton May 8-15: Just to lay it out there, first time cruisers of any sort, we loved this Crossing! Yes, there was the small occasional miss, but the overall experience far exceeded what we expected, and for fare paid was in our estimation an excellent value as this was really transportation for us ~ setting us up for a jetlag free 12 mights in Britain and Ireland. But it turned out to be so much more. I'd carefully selected our obstructed view cabin, and I got it right - we could easily see the horizon and even catch glimpses of people walking on the deck below, and certainly got plenty of sun. In fact we're sure we lucked out on the weather. No fog to speak of, minimal rain, and 5 of 7 days of very calm seas. Even the 2 days with some waves were very manageable. We picked flex dining, and liked it! We always got a table for two, though often it was close enough to other 2-tops to have some casual conversation. I opted for main dining breakfast several times and enjoyed being solo (whle partner slept & buffeted) at chatty tables for 8. Dinner in Britannia was mostly very good, though a couple of the fish dishes didn't have great texture. Chicken curry, rack of lamb, and duck breast all excellent. Partner dared the tofu on the second Gala night and it was just _not_ a 'gala' level dish. Really flat and plain. Ah, well, he loved the boef bourguignon another night! There was a salmon in pastry starter that was delish, as was the confit salmon appetizer. Some of the salad courses were weirdly very small, and one seemed to come totally un-dressed. But in all, with nearly uniformly excellent deserts, 4-course Britannia worked great for us. We ate there all 7 nights. Also, the GF high tea options in Carinthia are not to be missed for those avoiding gluten like my partner. I think there was a GF desert each night in Main as well, but Carinthia tea had the best! Did room service breakfast by door-card two mornings, that was lovely and food came w/in 5 mins of the start of the requested time both mornings. The veggie-ricotta frittata is excellent. Sitting on the sofa having coffee and peering out at the sea in peace ~ priceless! We got a coveted spot in the "behind the scenes" ship tour and that was well worth filling a whole afternoon, and spending a chunk of our onboard credit. Line up *before departure* at the Tour Desk if you want a chance! I enjoyed several lectures, a classical concert, and water color classes as well as an intro ballroom dance class. Evening big shows were, as others have noted, not the strong spot on the trip, but at 45 minutes each typically, a few were worth taking a peek to see. A few small issues: Check in at Brooklyn was chaotic and slow! It took much longer than we expected, we were famished by the time our two hour processing was done! Third night the a/c mysteriously just didn't cool the cabin very well, so after a restless night I contacted the purser's office and crew came within the hour, cleaned and adjusted various equipment, and we had good cool air the rest of the trip! Laundry rooms were cramped and very busy, even only halfway through the trip (we needed to wash our gala shirts on day 4 and I had to visit four launderettes before finding a single machine with less than 30 mins wait). In all, small complaints on an otherwise excellent trip. One other detail: We had a medical, which included a rather exciting (for us, I'm sure not a happy event for the patient) heli-evac as soon as we were in range of the English coastline. I hope the person made a full recovery. Sobering to know, though, how far aid beyond the competent medical center docs can be on a Crossing.
