Sad to see Queen Elizabeth Cruise ship leaving Australia.   , SA, Australia, Dec 2024
Cunard is to leave Australia and is not returning. We have enjoyed our cruises on this wonderful ship, so many areas to visit, morning coffee in the Commodor Club, breakfast, lunch, evening meals all fine dining each day, not to mention the afternoon tradition of afternoon tea. Our stateroom was always very clean and bathroom clean and shiny. We always ...read more choose the Main Dining room for meals rather than the casual dining in the Lido. Evening shows with high class entertainment, fabulous costumes. Staff at every level are fantastic.
Writers festival at Sea - Cunard   , NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
The trip was well worth doing, the writers talks were excellent and this combined with a great ship made the experience memorable. There is lots of choice of food, activities and great cabins which all put together makes for a wonderful trip.

It was our very first cruise 🛳 P&O were absolutely amazing. The staff, food entertainment was more than what we expected.

It was a great short break - everything was perfect from the booking in and cabin staff to the neverending quality food and wait service.
