Sydney To Southampton (Centenary World Voyage)   , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
The cruise was very good all the staff was terrific. The food was out of this world you would not go hungry. Entertainment very good. The drinks were a bit expensive, a bit surprised as they charge a % fee for service charge. The drinks package was too much you would be an alcoholic by the time you reached UK. We will be going again with Cunard cruises ...read more and thank you for your help.

Great what a trip - better than flying. Staff and crew were great friendly and helpful didn't realise how relaxing it was. Thanks to Hannah and Global Journeys.
