Cunard Cruise Lines has been defining luxury in cruises for over one hundred and fifty years. Cunard is always at the head of the list for its world cruises, and deservedly so. They specialize in world cruises and draw many of their passengers from Great Britain. Three spectacular ships lead the Cunard Cruise Line family. The ship Queen Mary 2 is the only ship which has consistently scheduled transatlantic voyages. The Queen Elizabeth 2 has forty years in service, and in 2008 is celebrating her farewell season. In 2010 a new Queen Elizabeth will be introduced. The final jewel in the Cunard Cruise Lines tiara is the Queen Victoria, the newest addition to the Cunard family. Cunard has recently been recognized by Porthole Cruise magazine in their 10th annual readers choice awards. Cunard got top honors in Best World Cruise Itineraries and Best Transatlantic Crossings.
My review of Our Cunard Cruise Our Cunard Cruise was a large group affair, and a sensation carnival prevailed. We left from London and joined the Queen Victoria in Barcelona. Upon check in at the ship, there was a bit of a wait, perhaps 30 minutes, but admittedly about 10 minutes of that was part of our large group. Once we were sent on through, we were able to get settled in our cabins with complete ease, and had spectacular assistance from the porters in this area. We were experienced at cruising and had over a dozen cruises Royal Carribean between us as a group.
The cabins were extremely nice, and were rather larger than we had even imagined. Having been on 6 cruises myself, I can say that these cabins were larger and better situated than those I have had on other cruise lines. My aunt has herself been a lifelong cruiser and says that Cunard has the nicest cabins, and her cabin with a balcony was really beautiful, and I would love to have one for the next time.
The food was absolutely amazing; I cannot complement the food enough. Night or day, you can literally get anything imaginable and it will be amazing quality, and fresh. Cunard does not publish the recommended gratuity levels as some other lines do, and in situations such as those involving stewards. To add a tipping guideline would be a welcome addition.
For excursions Cunard really shines. It is rare to find an excursion while cruising that is made simple and easy, but Cunard has done it. Our group was considering skipping the Monaco excursion, purely because it can be such mayhem. However, the employees made it absolutely simple to board the launch together and enjoy an absolutely lovely day in a very beautiful city.
Cunard also helped a great deal when it was time for us to board our flight home. We knew we would have a long wait in Rome at the airport, but thought it could not be avoided, as most cruise lines want you to check out by 10 am or so. Cunard told us we ( the group flying to Britain) were welcome to stay on board and eat, and enjoy the ship until closer to our departure time and that was wonderful. My whole family appreciated it, especially the elderly members who would prefer to wait in comfort rather than a crazy crowded Italian airport. Our entire group will choose Cunard again for our next cruise, and we could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Cunard Cruise Lines has been defining luxury in cruises for over one hundred and fifty years. Cunard is always at the head of the list for its world.
