Cruised in a Queens Grill room at the rear of the boat. The room was very comfortable and clean and well appointed . The bed was very comfortable and provided for a great sleep. Loved hanging out on the balcony and the bath in the bathroom was well used for hot soaks after a workout in the gym . The afternoon canapes were a lovely addition and our Butler went out of his way to bring extras when we had friends over for afternoon cocktails. One point, it was not clear what beverages could be ordered as part of the minibar offering and was surprised to find out later in cruise that we could also order a range of spirits in addition to wine. There was some limited noise from engine room particularly on first evening but never seemed to be an issue after that. The only downside for the cabin is that late at night the room would become quite warm even though we had the aircon set at the coldest setting, this would always rectify itself by time it came to wake up . Eating in the Queens Grill offered an attractive range of options however found the quality of some of the offerings below par for what you would expect specifically the seafood cocktails served as appetisers and the al-a-carte lobster offering . as a comparison the appetisers offfered in Chops Grill on RC are far superior . On the plus side - the beef wellington, the and crepe suzettes for dessert were a delight. There was a lack of any decent steaks on the menu. Ate in a number of the other venues: Lido for breakfast had a small range but always found the quality to be great , seating was a problem especially at 9-10am when it is the only available breakfast option on the boat. The Brittania restaurant offered good quality offerings similar to Queens Grill without some of the Queens Grill higher end offerings - seating always seemed easy to secure. The Pub offers fish and chips and pie of the day whjich are both of surprisingly good quality but seating is tight especially between 12-1pm. The afternoon teas were fantastic. One gap from food offering is that there is no food offering anyway on the boat between 8;30 -10pm at which stage you need to rely on the extremely slow room service. As far as services on the boat: The kids club is very small- it could accommodate the less than 80kids that were on our cruise but can be an issue if there are more kids aboard. the major gripe from our kids was that they combined the teens with the younger kids, The 2 pools are quite small and the mid deck pool for families is quite shallow . That said they never got overly busy. The gym is on the small side and trying to get access to some of the equipment during busy morning times can be difficult. Family enjoyed time in the library, games in the card room and the odd game of deck croquet and lawn balls. However for a longer cruise you could see kids would get easily bored on this boat. The spa area on the boat is small , crowded , lacks facilities ie. no sauna only steam rooms . Drains had a bad odour. In all it lacks the relaxing environment of a spa room The shows on the boat were wonderful and enjoyed by the entire family and was one of the highlights of the trip particularly the dance shows and the Oz Boyz. Other items of note: I love how this boat generally never feels crowded (with exception of Lido late in breakfast session) . Loved the dress code and how it was generally well adhered to by all. Cruising on Cunard is certainly a different(better!) experience to sailing on RC. Certainly had less of a 'yob' factor going that you see on other cruise lines. Drinks and drink package are expensive. Wine offerings were quite limited to what I have experienced on other cruise lines . Barista coffee offered throughout the boat would be disappointing to many Australians as the use rather dark/bitter roast of beans. The automatic charging of gratuities is rude and is not done by other cruise lines out of Australia . Noted that they will remove this if asked . Staff throughout the boat were happy and helpful - had seen comments about a lack of staff but never found that to be an issue . All up we really enjoyed the Queen Elizabeth cruise due to the onboard ambience , quality of shows , cabin quality and generally good food quality. Rooms for improvement : improve quality of food offerings in Queens Grill, extend breakfast food offerings to 10am and after 8;30pm. Improve opportunities to keep kids entertained.
My biggest gripe was the food and entertainment areas are too small. There is the Lido buffet which was almost impossible to find a seat in at peak times. The Queens room is where the Gala Nights happen however about 25% of people were left in the corridor or a seating area at the other side of the corridor away from the Queens room. The Queens room simply does not cope at any peak time. We had Cabin which was an excellent location to get to the Lido Buffet. The room was very good. No noise from either room each side, or the external part of the ship BUT, the cabin crew or guests would come past our front door, talking loud early AM or late PM and wake us up. Take a can of Glen 20 as the bathroom smells the same as on a plane with the same toilet system. The crew were OK, not over friendly but not rude. One guy at the purses desk was in the wrong job, very rude. TIPS, I think it is a con to bill you a set $ amount regardless of the crew performance, there should be an option to pay one of three level amounts depending on what your experience was. I will tip for better than average service. The reason tips are a con is it allows the cruise line to pay crew a basic wage. Then if a ship is say 3/4 full, the crew only get 75% worth of tips, So the crew wear part of the loss for the ship not being full. Good trick if you can get away with it in my book. The food was good both at Lido and Britannia. The question is, would I do it again, 100% yes.
Our first time on this fabulous cruise ship and we loved it. Everything was well organised, and excellent food, entertainment, facilities, and atmosphere. The ship is very clean. The library was excellent for readers. Overall we just enjoyed the 7 days of the cruising. However, one mishap happened and that was our luggage had an issue when we got it back on the first evening after luggage drop off in the morning at the cruise terminal, Circular Quay. The telescopic handle got stuck (was forcibly pushed down by the handling staffs) and I just couldn’t pulled it out anymore. The Purser’s Desk was informed and consulted for this issue, but no further information nor communication was provided afterwards. They really take no responsibility for the damaged item, as reflected both by their written statement and ALSO the female staff’s don’t-bother attitude and voice tone. Anyway, it’s all fine with me, and it’s really not a big deal for us. I immediately ordered one online on the fifth day during the cruise, and am now very happy with the 80cm Pierre Cardin large luggage. Can’t complaint.
