“Exceeded our expectations in every catagory”
Cruise Date: 08/10/2025
Destination: Alaska
The Penthouse Suite was very spacious, and we loved the deck. The butler couldn't have been more helpful. The Ship itself was in fabulous condition in all respects. The food was amazing. Every meal was 5-star. The Queen's grill is beyond spectacular in its choices and wait staff. The offerings were healthy and neither of us gained any weight. The entertainment at night was as good as off Broadway and the educational lectures were all so informative and relevant to our cruise locations. We could not have asked for a more perfect Cruise vacation.

The scenery and food was great, the service outside of the club dining was some of the worst I have ever had. Additionally, both the written and verbal communication while on abroad was weak and conflicting within the same document.

“Alaska on the Cunard Queen Elizabeth”
Cruise Date: 06/21/2024
Destination: Alaska
Cunard Queen Elizabeth is a beautiful ship and the service we received on board was very good. As with any cruise line, there are areas that could be improved but the overall experience was wonderful. The ship is elegant and oddly quiet at times. In fact, there were times we almost felt like it was our own private yacht with nobody around. There is plenty to do on the boat for activities but in a relaxed way. With that said, to be honest, if you are looking for a "fun ship" Cunard may not be for you. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and the feel of a floating castle then this is your ship. We have cruised on multiple ships and this is an experience like no other. As for Avoya, I can't say enough about the service we received from our Vacation Planner Kisha. She helped us through the process of getting our holiday put together when we needed it the most.

“Trip across the Pacific - Japan to Vancouver”

I like cruising with Cunard because of the art class and the duplicate bridge tournaments on sea days. However the art instructor on this cruise was very poor (uniike other Cunard Cruises I have taken). It was clear that she had not attempted with the watercolour paints in the kit the paintings that she wanted us to paint. She did not know the kit had no black paint so doing Japanese black ink painting picture and Northern light pictures were almost impossible to paint. She just handed out pictures that she had not even tried to paint.... She did not teach any watercolour techniques but left each attendees to their own attempts at the watercolour painting. Very disappointing. Sometimes she showed up late leaving her husband to get everyone started and the room set up. Some attendees left after 2 sessions with her very disappointed due to the lack of teaching. In future bridge cruises you should identify the art instructor in advance as that will impact if I select that Cunard cruise. However the bridge director was excellent. She brought a portable microphone so everyone could hear her and also got the very poor bridge cards replaced. She communicated standings of the teams very well and timely. I would highly recommended her for other Cunard cruises. Room service and food quality was good. Excursions in Japan were excellent. I did not go on any Alaskan excursions as I had been to Alaska before. The sailing was smooth. Nancy MacDonald Exel

Cunard has deteriorated over the last few years. Food was mediocre. One elevator in the B stairway was inoperable the entire trip, totally unacceptable. Should never be tolerated.

“Queen Elizabeth Alaska 11 nights”
Cruise Date: 07/27/2023
Destination: Alaska
Rated a good 9/10. All staff were excellent and helpful Britannia dining room for all evening meals with anytime dining. Excellent choices. We reserved and used the same wait staff (Wilfred) and Sommelier (Anthony) each night because they were excellent. Balcony cabin seemed a bit smaller than many other cruise lines, but good storage space. Ship was outfitted in superb materials and well maintained. Avoya travel agent, Wendell Locklin was 2nd best one that I used. ( First was a friend we used for 12 cruises before retiring) Would not hesitate using him again.

“Cruise to Alaska”
Cruise Date: 07/17/2023
Destination: Alaska
The Cunard ship was beautiful. An art deco decor that was beautiful and ship had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Steward attended to all our room needs and was friendly and approachable. The food was amazing and beverage and food staff catered to every wish. The only improvements would be to update the couch/chairs in the suite - it was really not comfortable to sit on and needed to be replaced, and to upgrade and offer a better internet/wifi service.

“The staff in the cabin, restaurant, and Commodore Club were absolutely wonderful. Caring and kind, professional in every respect. We developed genuine rapport. It was the best aspect of the voyage. ”

The Wi-Fi was abominable and I think we paid over seven hundred dollars for it. My diamond status didn’t prove to be very helpful and we didn’t think the upper echelon were very responsive. I guess we are used to smaller ships who don’t make you feel like you’re be nickel and dimed every day. I think my QE card was worn out by the end of the trip

“Enjoyable, relaxing cruise”
Cruise Date: 10/10/2022
Destination: Asia
Although it was not perfect in every respect, we did enjoy our trip. The service was fantastic, lecturers were good, the many varied food selections in main dining room offered a good choice for each meal. I wish brewed coffee were available without ordering room service instead of Nescafe in the stateroom and after meals it was not always brewed. We won't travel on such a large ship again because we prefer a smaller ship with fewer passengers, but there was nothing wrong with it. Our stateroom was poorly located, and next time we will select one that is not next to a noisy mechanical repair room. Live and learn!
