Queen Mary 2 Reviews

Mazing adventure. Our First trip with Cunard and our second cruise ever. Would recomend booking with Global. Everything was better than expected. WOW WOW WOW

Hayley Lounds at Global Journeys was exceptional in handling any issues we raised prior to cruise. Having experienced a number of European River cruises we were delighted with the high standards onboard. Fabulous state room, excellent quality food. Congratulations to all involved. Looking forward to next cruise.

The cruise went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised with priority check-in at the Cruise Ship, having booked a Club Balcony Stateroom. Meals were excellent and the tours we picked were also excellent. Staff on board were also excellent. Loved the scenery of Norway. Enjoyed Cunard except for being on the 13th read more floor, overall it was good, just it was difficult to be able to get to the 13th floor as there were only 2 lifts available that would go to that level floor. It meant a lot of walking around to get to restaurants, etc. There needs to be more clear signage as well on the ship to get from A to B. Tracey was very good, everything went smoothly. Information received was clear and it was easy to get to Cunard Portal for bookings, etc. This is only the second time we have used Global Journeys and would do so again.

We absolutely loved our Queen Mary 2 Southampton to New York transatlantic crossing. Everything was perfect. We felt the food was higher quality than our experience of other cruise ships and the staff were far more attentive and seemed happier. The quality of the lectures was outstanding. We had lectures from Mensun Bound from Oxford University on his read more expedition which found Shackleton’s ship the Endurance I. Antarctica. Other lectures on the Concord by an ex Concord pilot were also outstanding and lectures about the history of espionage. All outstanding.

The ship itself is older but has been refurbished so is excellently maintained. We actually loved the size of the ship. It was large enough to contain all of the usual amenities but it was significantly smaller than some so we found it excellent to get around and feel like we were close to everything. One of the best aspects is that for the number of passengers there are a huge number of quiet spaces that you could go to if you want to be on your own bit equally there was always somewhere buzzing if you were chasing that.

We loved the gala nights - one was red and gold theme and the other was masquerade. It was lovely seeing everyone’s outfits and watching so many great ballroom dancers. However, it was not stuffy at all. We can’t really dance but we were made to feel welcome and it was fine for us to just do our low level shuffling or more modern dance style - anything goes really.

Another highlight was the afternoon tea everyday. Just lovely! Each day was a different musician - string quartet / pianist / cellist etc. the white glove service of fresh sandwiches, beautiful pastries, and scones was just so lovely. All day room service is also included I. The regular price and we really enjoyed this on a couple of occasions.

Apart from this, the whole reality that you are crossing the Atlantic and thoughts of where we were in relation to the Titanic made this a really poignant cruise experience.

Finally, the final approach into New York was just incredible. Under the bridge with the funnels just clearing, followed by cruising past the Statue of Liberty, and finally seeing that Manhattan skyline is an unbeatable way to arrive in New York. We absolutely loved it!!!!

The cruise was very good all the staff was terrific. The food was out of this world you would not go hungry. Entertainment very good. The drinks were a bit expensive, a bit surprised as they charge a % fee for service charge. The drinks package was too much you would be an alcoholic by the time you reached UK. We will be going again with Cunard cruises read more and thank you for your help.

Great what a trip - better than flying. Staff and crew were great friendly and helpful didn't realise how relaxing it was. Thanks to Hannah and Global Journeys.
