Editorial Summary

The creators provide an in-depth review of the Cunard Queen Elizabeth following a four-night mini cruise to Amsterdam. They examine the ship's class-based accommodation system, which ranges from Britannia class to the prestigious Queen's Grill suites. While noting that the Britannia balcony staterooms were spacious and well-decorated, they criticized the use of shower curtains instead of doors. The review covers various dining options, including the Britannia dining room, the Lido buffet, and the Golden Lion pub. The creators found the main dining room food to be basic and lacking variety due to pandemic-era restrictions, though they highly praised the Veranda steakhouse and the spa facilities. Service and value for money were significant points of contention, with the creators noting that the service did not surpass competitors like Celebrity or Princess Cruises. They specifically highlighted issues with the afternoon tea experience and criticized the high costs of Wi-Fi and cocktails. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the ship's Art Deco interiors are impressive and regal, Cunard needs to improve food and service standards to offer better value compared to its rivals.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the food in the britannia dining room we weren't blown away as part of the pandemic qnad have drastically cut the variety of their menus

the veranda is a french-inspired steakhouse and it's nothing short of fantastic

the wi-fi on cunard is extortionate charged at 15 for 30 minutes and seeing as it takes an age for anything to load i can't recommend it

we would sail on queen elizabeth again and with cunard
