Queen Victoria reviews

Queen Victoria was a wonderful ship and the service was first class The on board lecture was disappointing but the entertainment was good We enjoyed out trip with Cunard

The hotel and transport to the ship in Rome were great. Our driver was waiting at the airport (board with our name on at arrivals) hotel Twentyone was a small boutique hotel about 15 mins walk from the Vatican or the hop on/ off tour stops great location to explore Rome. Our driver to the ship picked us up from the hotel and took us directly to the cruise terminal. Queen Victoria was exactly as we thought it would be “White Star” service from beginning to end. Stateroom was a good size compared to some other ships and had a balcony with two chairs and a table. Food in the Britannia restaurant was excellent. We found alcoholic drinks on board were expensive and carry a 15% service charge but tea, coffee, water and juices are complementary in the Lido. One of the excursiona organised by Cunard was a awful but they were fair and after most of us complained they refunded 50% as a gesture of good will. Overall well done planetcruise excellent service as always.

Flight to Venice to board, excellent. Our luggage went straight to the ship from the airport without the identify, collect and hand back rigmarole. Easy check in, but was advised about the cunard water shuttle into st marks, which was actually charged at $13 each way!Ate in the main dining room, lovely waiter Roger, (8 occupied seats on a table 10) first sitting. . . . . Loved Dubrovnic, Kotor, AlgheroWould miss Naples port (go to left on exiting the port (lovely mall with superb architecture. . . . . we went up and to the right). Main gripe was when a large segment disembarked we were being told to join the guests checking in queue rather than walking straight to the ship.

The staff and everyone on board were always very helpful and polite. The cabins were good although we felt that the shower room was on the small side. Entertainment could have been a lot better. MSC cruises were far superior in our view. Try for better acts Cunard!! Food wise, the restaurant and staff were exceedingly good. Excursions were in our view not good value. An example, busing people into Barcelona. If there were 4 of you it was a lot cheaper in a taxi!!! Also, if we had known that public transport was at close hand in some ports, we would have opted for that instead of the overpriced ship arrangements. Having said all this, we both thought that the holiday was very good, and would certainly book Cunard again. Always through Planet Cruise of course.

The service was excellent throughout the ship. The Veranhah team were particularly amazing! But we also had great service from Nil and Predrag in The Golden Lion and we thought Jules the training manager was a real asset to the company.

We have been on at least 30 cruises,love Cunard for quality and style. Planetcruise staff were excellent!

The cruise was great, everything we've come to expect from Cunard in terms of being looked after - great food, service and entertainment as well as ports of call. We've already booked another!

First time on Queen Victoria. A very good 8 days on board, very calm at all times. Good choice of ports visited. The dining in the Lido was very good with place settings on all empty tables available, food very good and varied. The main dining room food selection not so good with small portions and strange combinations. Staff very good and friendly at all times. All arrangements made by Planet went as planned.

Had a great time. Swapped the snow for sunshine with excellent food, service and luxury that we always find on Cunard. Easy boarding at Southampton went down the day before and stayed at the Meon Vally hotel this stay also included parking and transfers to the port all organised by Plant Cruise. When we disembarked a quick phone call and we were taken back to the Hotel excellent service.

Have travelled with Cunard before. Enjoy queen victoria but do not often eat in main restaurant due to extremely early or very late times offered. Have seen variety shows before as they do not seem to change them very often. Guest entertainers good.
