Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first time traveling with Cunard and we were both excited to check out such an iconic Cruise Line

First Impressions were pretty much what we' expected plenty of wood brass and Art Deco features

we' booked an outside cabin ideal for northern Europe in wintertime and we were really happy with the space and amenities

the menu choices were pretty good and sounded tasty so started with the beef conset and I had shrimp garan

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try your luck at embarkation earlier than your assigned time
Book an outside cabin for northern Europe in wintertime
Fill in the room service breakfast menu to hang on your door
