Cabin, Food, Service and other amenities the usual Cunard excellence but the overall entertainment including the second rate Films shown were appalling, we have cruised with Cunard for 30 odd years this year we are trying other holidays,so sad. Back to back cruises almost the same shows not good enough.

Not sure what you expect from cruises but have been with Cunard (QM2 and QV) six times and have not been disappointed yet. Must admit that prefer QM2 but with regard to films every time we have sailed the films have always been the latest that are on at cimemas at home at the time. Have booked another on QV this october around the Med. Have used other lines and none of them come anywhere up to Cunard standard

Your star ratings do not match your text? I agree that poor entertainment is dissapointing but there are many other aspects to a cruise. If a ship has zero entertainment but all the other aspects of the operation were good I'd give more than one star!

Queen Victoria went to the Caribbean last Xmas not the canary islands, i was on that cruise & remember where i went your revue i think is very dubois as you do not seem to even know where the ship went to.

She was not on the one before which started at the end of November and went into December. My friend and I were on that one. We enjoyed flying out to Rome and being on Queen Victoria for the first time. It was a bit rough at times with a gust of force 12 which sent everything flying. But then what do you expect for that time of year? We've sailed on QE2 and QM2 & well as with P & O and Costa and look forward to our next cruise. Yes, we've chosen to return to Queen Victoria and are looking forward to joining her on Tuesday.

Cabin, Food, Service and other amenities the usual Cunard excellence - then you give the food just one star and cabin only 3 stars. I don't understand, but I have an idea. Happy other holidays, Richard
