    OK - our first cruise so we have nothing to compare it with. Read the following accordingly.
    Food cannot be faulted. Excellent throughout and service was impeccable although I would prefer NOT to be prompted to mark the comment card "excellent" by the waiter.
    Design of the ship, I think, leaves something to be desired. I'm normally pretty good at finding my way around but still, after 6 days, I was confused about where certain rooms were in relation to each other. This wasn't helped by having TWO levels 3 - upper and lower.
    Entertainment: This is where QM2 falls down - at the moment. At best it is mediocre and at worst it is just a smidgeon away from being Butlins. The crowning of the "Princess" of the ball - "Could you parade and wave like a princess?" was on a par with Hi-di-Hi. Oh please. Kareoke nights? No thanks - if I wanted that I'd go down to the local pub. The compere for these nightmares was pure Redcoat. "And I'm sure you're all looking forward to the sing-a-long in the Lobby this lunch-time". NO.
    Where was the depth of sophistication I was expecting?
    The internet connection was pretty poor and the paid for minutes were eaten up mostly waiting for sites to load. Take your own lap-top.
    There are 2500 guests on board and Cunard have gone for the Median/Lowest Common Denominator.

    The Queen Mary 2 with Cunard Cruises is a great ship but not the only one. Besides the main lobby, the britania restaurant and the chart room, the decoration is flat mat and even ordinary. Nothing really oustanding, nothing really chic. As shakespeare said "too much noise for nothing "

    Embarkation at Southampton was dreadful, using the old terminal, they could hardley cope. Parking at the port was excellent and fast. The ship was superb far better than I could ever have imagined and the service was second to none. The food was excellent with a huge choice, afternoon tea was not to be missed. The entertainment throughout the ship was very good with something for everyone, late nights in G32 were our favourite. The Brooklyn terminal was efficient , clean and freindly and without ...

    What a magnificent ship! We decided to give flying a miss, and indulged in sheer luxury on the Queen Mary 2 to New York and back, sailing from Southampton. The embarkation at Southampton was efficient and speedy. We left the car at the port which was totally hassle free! What can we say about the ship - absolutely fabulous. The cabin was spacious and well equipped and the Steward service - second to none. The food - superb in both the Brittania Restaurant and the Kings Court, Fantastic choice ...

    Excellent food, service was great, the room was expectional. I am to say it was money well spent.

    Enjoyed every day on this beautiful ship. The Queen Mary 2 crew were extremely helpful in every detail. The entertainment was above excellent, and the food don't know what to say about the food but it was delicious and there was alot!!!!!!

    There was nothing bad about the entire journey.

    We travelled on the Queen Mary with Cunard Cruises on May 2nd, from Southampton to New York. As it was our first Cruise we didn't really know what to expect. Me and my partner took my 81 year old father with us who also had never experienced this type of holiday before........We can all honestly say that the whole experience was beyond our expectations......We will all have very fond memories, for many years to come, of this truly wonderful experience.......

    This Cunard was our first time on a cruise of any kind and as the offer on the cabins was so good we decided to take a chance. Our two daughters aged 23 and 17 also travelled with us and there was general concern that we would get bored on the 6 night transatlantic trip. This proved not to be a problem at all and the time passed very easily. In spite of our difference in ages our daughters were impressed as much as we were.

    We flew to New York on the 18th November 2008 and caught the QM2 to the Carribean on the 21st November 2008. This trip was far beyond what I expected. It was amazing. We are now looking for a trip for 2009. If we had won the lottery I do not think that we could have had better service. Excellent.

    We travelled to New York on 10 October 2008 and had the most wonderful time. Very comfortable room with a little balcony from which we watched the changing sky and the QE2 which travelled alongside us on its last trip to New York. Very obliging, helpful and friendly staff, great food at all the restaurants we tried, a huge number of classes to attend and other things to do (went to dancing, watercolour painting and acting classes), wonderful formal evenings with good bands if you fancied dancing ...

    Having travelled the Atlantic on QE2 3 years ago, i decide to go with Cunard on the Queen Mary 2 in August. Cunard's cabin and restaurant staff were impeccable, however, the new liner, despite all the hype was a considerable disappointment. The ship is large. She feels like an oil tanker fitted for passengers and on first site in port looks clumsy and unattractive with two exhaust pipes at the rear. On board, one felt that you were on an oversized ferry. The staircases felt like service stairway ...

    First timers we were quite apprehensive about this trip.
    Once on board, what a surprise, I can honestly say we enjoyed every minute of the crossing from New York. We enjoyed the formality, and the dining experience. Truly relaxing time you could do as much or a little as you wanted. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
    We fully intend a repeat of this next year...well done Cunard

    The entire of the cruise was one of the best that I have ever been on. I encourage anybody else to at least take a trip. Cabins are the best with your own butler. The overall best cabin was the Balmoral Suite 2 story duplex, large balcony. I would recommend this cruise to a friend

    Just got home today. Cant believe the negative reviews I have just read on this site, cant be the same ship. Trip was fantastic (we flew to JFK and sailed back, spending 2 nights at the Waldorf Astoria in NY). Whole thing managed by Cunard and completely faultless. Cant believe we were just lucky because we didn't hear a negative comment the whole time we were on board. When we can afford it we will definitely travel to the States or back (or both) again, sure beats sitting at an airport and o ...

    Oh dear, the once proud Cunard name has been devalued by the American owners. All the serving staff have the same surly way about them.
    The food is OK but that's it, P&O in May this year produced far better food and excellent service. The shows in the theatre were on par with your local Am Dram society, they appeared to have no direction or theme.

    A lot of the previous reviews of the Queen Mary seem fairly biased - or at least exceedingly negative.
    Cunard is the only truly luxury cruise line left - they have effectively cornered the market. You have more cabin space, superior food, more entertainment, and more venues to visit during the day than on any other line; partly, this is because most of the QM2's journeys are transatlantic, and therefore necessitate a myriad of diversions, but it is also due to the fact that Cunard does indeed t ...

    I got on... and after an hour of "loud white noise" in a windowless box... got off again. I will never go on the ship again.

    I have just returned on the Queen Mary 2 from New York with my 18 year old daughter (I'm 46). We worried about the age of the other passengers and yes, they were a lot older. But other than on the first night on board when we encountered the most ignorant and rudest couple ever at our Britannia Restaurant table. Fortunately for us and our other diners this disgusting couple were moved after making a scene and were never seen again throughout the voyage! We had the most fantastic time. We were ...
