What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
โi was over the moon that dayโ
โwe absolutely loved it and we were howling with laughter and he had a very dry sense of humor which made us all laugh as wellโ
โIt's just a wonderfully sophisticated experience that feels so quintessentially cunard.โ
โOverall, I was really impressed by how many dining options there were on Queen Mary 2, and it really helped keep things nice and varied during our roundtrip transatlantic crossing.โ
โIt's a must try at least once on any Cunard voyage and is made all the better by the fact that there's always some classical live music being played.โ
โI was quite disappointed with this theater, as the stage felt quite small, especially given how long this theater is.โ
โmy biggest issue here was the shower basin because it had basically no raised threshold so whenever it was rough weather... water would just flow outโ
โi was absolutely terrified because i was about to get my university results which would dictate the classification of my degreeโ
โI really wasn't that happy to be back back home don't like it don't want itโ
โMy only criticism was the fact that our waiters seemed quite rushed at dinnertime, so we weren't able to enjoy the levels of service we normally get on a cunard ship.โ
