Cunard is my kind of cruise line. members about Queen Elizabeth. From fine artworks, rich woods, and Art Deco touches to distinctive venues like the Garden Lounge, the three-tiered Royal Court Theatre and Yacht Club - this is a modern yet elegant vessel.
The staff were always there to provide help.
Queen Elizabeth captures the glamour of yesteryear when steamer trunks, formal dining and ballroom galas were all the rage at sea. The sailing into New York was fantastic!
The ugly: I understand you go ashore at your own risk, but we were not referred to someone in higher authority and our concerns for future passengers safety in this port were ignored. We have sailed Celebrity, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean and thought the Cunard would be at the top of the luxury lines. The first thing I noticed upon boarding was the ease ,efficiency, & extremely courteous members of the Cunard team that helped us to get on the ship without any difficulty.

Our balcony stateroom was comfortable, attractive, but less areas to place personal items than on previous cruise lines we had sailed. It was perfect for me and my companion. At the ports that we visited, there were well planned boarding procedure which were systematic,orderly, hassle and worry free, and many times, the shuttle bus to city centre, or tender (small boats that shuttle between the ship and the pier) were free, and no long waits.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect holiday. although it took some time to adjust to a was llate dining option [8:30] i luckily was assigned to a dining table of mostly single voyagers who were delightful. The good: There was no confusion, no running around looking for something. There were dance lessons which were free and fabulous, but unfortunately there were only a few. We only sat in the hall about one and 1/2 hours. Only after leaving I decided this was not right and returned to the counter just in time to find another associate giving her instructions on how to find this information. We were disappointed. In typically understated British style, the ship doesn't do glitzy or loud, so ambiance overall is modest rather than striking.Launched in 2010, Queen Elizabeth continues Cunard's classically elegant style, with Art Deco touches and old-fashioned pursuits.Service is under par, which doesn't match the rest of the atmosphere.Queen Elizabeth charms with traditional elegance, Old World-style and modern touches.Cruises on Cunard Queen Elizabeth start from $349 per person.Cunard Queen Elizabeth won 22 awards The look of wood with all the trimmings made you feel comfortable and very warm. Cunard's Queen Elizabeth Ft. Lauderdale to San Francisco Along with the ships tenders we also had a large ship used for this purpose aiding in the process. The passengers' launderettes were very convenient. The Queen Elizabeth is a Beautiful Ship, with that old-time British understatement of luxury.
It reminded me of a traditional British Club. Unless you like constant quizes or your body is falling apart and require costly treatment for such things as puffy legs, constipation, sore backs, wrinkles, poor indigestion, acupuncture, fluid retention and poor circulation, brittle nails or cracked heels etc there is not much else to do. There were plenty of public rooms to spread out in. Buffet was average, with mostly British food.
The bad: You are handled with kid gloves. Totally loved the voyage. As the cruise was docked for the day, perhaps a later start for the excursion could have improved the sightseeing.as it was a late cruise time (winter time) many of the follow passengers paid a great deal less than the early birds, those who booked earlier in the year. We enjoyed the ports but the down side was the ship embarked and debarked approximately 750 passengers both in Hamburg and Kiel. At the same time, it provides the expected conveniences of modern times like computer lounges and plenty of shopping opportunities.But while it's a modern ship, Queen Elizabeth relies on its chic, geometric Art Deco-inspired interiors to set the tone. Favorite Parts: Panama Canal full transit, food, entertainment, general elegance, history, and ambiance of the shipNeeds Improvement: Cabin (6012) climate control very inconsistent/either too or or too cold; no Coca-cola products on board (! Instead of capturing the public's imagination with water slides and high-tech nightclubs, Cunard cashes in on its nostalgic heritage with ballroom dancing, lawn bowls and afternoon tea in the Garden Lounge.If the onboard aura and sentimental pursuits call up the past, so, too does Cunard's cabin category system in which the cabin you're staying in dictates lounge and dining room access. Not solving the problem then he haughtily told us to return on the following day and he “would see what he could do”. Not everything was terrible, but the exceptions were few.
The staff was great., the service was 5 star, & the cleanliness & appearance was fantastic. Now $85 (Was $̶2̶4̶5̶) on Tripadvisor: Queen Elizabeth 2, Dubai. Exceptions were my Waiter, Avish and assistent- Natalia, and my Cabin Stewards, Rey and Raul. First being Edinburgh. We took a cab into town, where at a local mall, a strange man came up to my friend, said something in a language we did not understand (not French) and made a slicing motion across his neck, suggesting he wanted to "behead" her.
