🚢 Our maiden Voyage on Queen Anne continues and sadly in part 3 of our series, we have a dining disaster. The worst dining experience we have ever had where we felt the need to walk out of the restaurant, something that we have never done before. 🙈
⚓✨ On a positive note we reach our first port of call La Coruna, and enjoy some fabulous entertainment and insight talks on board Cunard's newest cruise ship as we continue our voyage to Lisbon. 🌊
💷 We paid £1661 per person for this 7 night maiden cruise on Queen Anne. This did not include drinks.
🙏 This is our 8th time of cruising with Cunard having now cruised on all the ships in the fleet.

100% agree with the rudeness of people coming in late to shows. This seems to happen on all lines, I don't understand why they just don't sit at the back of the theatre and BE QUIET!! All seats are first come and if you want to get an aisle seat get there early!!

It used to be that on land you waited til intermission if you came late on Broadway Is the West End like that?? Probably because there is no charge people are less likely to value good manners TO BE KIND maybe bad dinner service caused some of the late comers and they would have been grumpy as well 😡

@michaellove4131 Месяц назад
Totally agree regarding the moronic people who turn up late shuffling and talking usually in fairly loud voices. Cunard should control this better. Also, if they insist on the dress code in certain parts of the ship from 6 pm then this should be strictly enforced, as a lot of people have taken special outfits for these occasions. So you have gentlemen in their black tie suits you have ladies in what look to me like very expensive . Then somebody old enough to know better wearing inappropriate T-shirt and shorts that fit where they touch, comes muddling along.

We did the maiden voyage on the Queen Mary and vowed never again, there was just too many teething issues. Looking at your video it seems like things haven’t changed, which I understand as it’s all new to the crew and having worked on cruise ships many years ago they have my sympathy. Thanks for another great video 👍

Although we chatted about it onboard.... the experience with cold food, staff under pressure and telling us they were from p and o or on their first contract. We were at the pursers office nearly every day trying to get charges that were added by mistake by crew removed. Same story, Restaurant said they sent email, pursers didn't get it. Told it would be wiped every day, and they never were. Hopefully, things are improving. Good to know our reviews matched a lot 😅

Informative video. Thanks. We had a similar customer service experience on the Queen Mary 2 while you were on the Queen Anne. We were in basic Britannia class, but were not expecting bland customer service as you also described. We heard from guests that were on the around-the-world portion of this itinerary that many seasoned staff members left the ship to help with the launch of Queen Anne. I suppose that may explain it. We watched your videos in preparation for our QM2 cruise. They were very helpful. The ship is truly special, so we nevertheless enjoyed the cruise.

We were also on the queen Mary during this time, and I was told the same thing--that a lot of the seasoned staff had gone to the queen anne to help out the maiden voyage. The food on queen mary left a lot to be desired. I was not impressed at all. I have had better food from 3 other lines.

Just been to Norway on the Queen Anne, absolutely agree with you 100 per cent, issues in the restaurants, hygiene issues (cross contamination using cloths). Missing courses, taking too long to arrive and cold. Pursers office sexist, wouldn't speak to me about an error on MY card, linked to MY account, had to speak to my husband! Also issues with people turning up late to shows then sitting directly in front of me blocking my view. Entertainment was great. Lots of things we're great, but why aren't Cunard changing things that are wrong when they're told about it?

Thanks for this, we did the 10th - May 2 weeks to Maderia, things have settled down a bit, the first couple of days the food was only just warm enough to eat, (cold plates dont help) service lifts for luggage were not working, so the cases both embarking and disembarking had to be transported in the passenger lifts, which made life interesting for people who cannot use the stairs, and totally agree with you about the theatre late comers, I try to avoid being disturbed by them, but its difficult, we were half way through the new Brief Encounter when numerous people just wander in trying to find somewhere to sit in the dark, late commers should not be alllowd in as a curtesy to both the audience & the performers. (again like Paul, rant over) cheers

So sorry that you had to put up with this in what is Cunard's new ship, the new direction for Cunard. From what I'm hearing, it seems to be typical of the new Cunard service levels, a drop. After over 30 Cunard cruises, we are so glad we discovered Viking Cruises in 2019. Like chalk and cheese. Cunard's standards certainly seem to have plummeted

Just came off a Japan Cunard cruise on QE. Lots of band new staff on QE too, so at least some experienced staff was shifted from QE to QA, but apparently not enough. The food on QE was still very good, but the service in the dining room was noticeably worse than last year. It seemed like they were doing their best, but were short-handed. We didn't see anything as bad as your experience, but the service was not nearly as good as it was last year. Cunard has a problem, I hope they resolve

I’m 4’11 and agree with you on the theater seats. I tried to sit on the end and hang over in the aisle, but then I had to keep getting up to let late comers in. Last ditch was to sit on the front row, but you needed to arrive at least 45 mins early for that. Didn’t care for the seats in the main show room on QM2 either.

We have just returned from the Mediterranean cruise last week. Things are no better…..Sir Samuel’s restaurant actually put two fellow guests in the bathroom all night after eating the seafood platter!😮 After speaking to many many fellow guests the specialist restaurants were not worth the extra charges, with supplements also applied as well! The staff still looked broken, miserable and not happy! We complained to the Pursers office and it was well handled and actually did improve during the 16 Nights. We were overall very disappointed with the level of service. It was bland, not very poor but just ordinary!

A very good video. Shocked viewing your group's dining experience at Sir Samuel's and hope there was/is some official explanation. Looking forward to next episode. The Caeser salad looked good though. Merlot is usually my go to grape variety and surprised that this popular wine was not available at the restaurant. Aaaah polenta ... being brought up on proper Northern Italian food (Mum and Dad are Italian) whenever my mum decided to make and serve a polenta meal there was always groans and arguments as none of us (4 siblings) liked the stuff! I think my mum served it deliberately to cause an uproar for her amusement... she knew we wouldn't eat the bland tasteless yellow blob but we would always find home made cake/bead pudding/apple pie in the fridge later. Polenta is in fact real Italian food but it's usually omitted from menus in so called Italian restaurants. I am on Queen Anne next year and would expect all problems to be resolved by then. I have and will never travel on a maiden voyage.. Seeing people coming into a theatre quite late for shows annoys me too. Again .. good video.

Ooh Carol, that's how we used to present Ceasar salad at the table decades ago, did you opt out of the anchovies, can't stand them apart from them being a key ingredient in Worcestershire Sauce. However it used to be a raw egg yolk pre edwina curry nonsense days... raw egg yolk, dijon mustard, worcester sauce, emulsified with olive oiland a dash of white wine vinigar and then add the baby gem or cos lettuce, shaved leaves of parmesan not that sawdust stuff and garlic croutons and anchovy fillets.... followed by restaurant staff coming back to the kitchen swearing and asking for it to be taken off the menu. one wrong move and it all curdled. 🤣 But them was the 70's before steralised mayonnaise. Pauly, best batter for onion rings, temura batter. That steak is blue, chefs term for barely sealed both sides. maiden voyages usually have crew trained up especially the galley/ kitchen crew. Have also heard they are rotating the staff around the brand, which accounts for miserable staff and under and overcooked food we had to endure on P&O Azura. I had the same steak fiasco happen to me when sent back, waiter argued it was a fresh steak,plate came back with same half eaten veggies etc I had on there. refused it and opted for the rubber chicken breast and this was formal night too.

I agree so much about the theatre & etiquette around arriving etc. We were just on Iona and got so fed up with late arrivals and early leavers. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, shows are only 45 mins long, just sit & put up with it. It’s so rude, distracting and annoying when folk leave. Also, I sit on the end of the row because I have a bad leg & don’t feel comfortable being squished in. I also feel a claustrophobic mid-row. My choice.

I used Cunard as transportation across the North Atlantic, always on QM2 as she is generally the only ocean liner in the fleet designed to do that route (ocean liner vs common cruise ship). I will be coming home from Europe on Queen Anne this time in January on her maiden transatlanic crossing which will take 9 days vs QM2's 7. I'm a little nervous as Queen Anne is not an ocean liner and the seas can be heavy in winter.

Around the ship, definitely not enough staff and a lot of new workers. Felt really bad for the experienced staff, they were trying their best. Absolutely 💯 on the show issues. People coming in and out throughout the shows, some shows were only 30-40 minutes and in a few venues, the audio was not working properly. Loved the ship, but not a great overall experience for the price.

Your story of late arrivals reminded me of a family holiday in Bournemouth in 77. Mum and Dad took us to see Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo - we arrived late having missed the first half. After the film finished my father arranged for us to stay to the next show as we had missed the first half We stopped in the theatre for the second show and then left half way through :-)

We are both English and embarrassed by the Queens. We travelled on the Queen Mary some 10/12 years ago, and the cafeteria food was as you described. We decided to try the Queen Elizabeth as it fit our trip to the south of Japan. Our dining experience was as bad as yours-sending back both the chicken and meat-undercooked or overcooked-very disappointing. Only our table mates saved the experience with our North of England humour and added alcohol. We were thankful that our northern trip on the Royal Princess was a delight, especially as the staff had smiles at every corner-a marked difference from the Queen's surely miserable zombies they've trained them to be. A stiff upper lip did not hold any attraction when so many other lines provided a sincere welcome.

Sounds like being forced to cancel due to a family bereavement this cruise with 3 days to go saved much disappointment. We got full fare back from Insurance but only after jumping through half a dozen hoops at least to get paid. As for specialty dining and ding in general on Cunard not surprised. We had awful food on Victoria main dining last cruise so the maiden was to see if Anne was better and stay with Cunard and loyalty program. 10 cruises an 90 nights make you want to be loyal but SAGA and Viking kick Cunard’s ass. The river boats AMA and UniWorld are above all both sea and river we think. Just booked a Panorama suite on an Emerald river with the insurance money!

Steve says are the bland staff really Carnival staff rather than P&O staff as such. The Queen Anne seems more of a mass market ship than the style of the older ships. Staff on Aurora have always been really chatty and on Britannia too. Seems to be Iona where there just isn’t enough staff for the size of the ship to cope with the number of passengers. Have they done the same with the Queen Anne? As for people arriving late for the show, it’s a flipping Liberty. I can only manage to stand up so many times to let people through so it seems as if I’m being difficult which I’m not really. I hate when that happens.
@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel

Those that we spoke to had come from P&O. Definitely a ship that will appeal to the mass markets. Not sure, certainly from the bar teams they were pretty slick by the middle of the week but not the happy service we had been used too. That is so frustrating with the Theatre and can totally understand for you that it is even worse!

Firstly, extra cost speciality restaurants with no white tablecloths (especially a steakhouse) is a poor first impression. Cunard talks up about how they create a sense of occasion (and I’ve experienced that onboard in good ways myself) but this cafeteria look for specialty restaurants doesn’t cut it. The dining area around Virgin Voyages look the same. Very stark and nothing special. Second - Cruise lines seem to be afraid to enforce rules for dress, etiquette, and timeliness. I hope Cunard keeps its standards.

You know how, at like, a play or show at a theater they will close/lock the doors and not let any late comers in? Cruise lines should really consider doing that. But heaven forbid they offend anyone by not letting them come in and disrupt the performance 🙄 people are so incredibly entitled today I have also found that the people who come in late DON'T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE SHOW! They are on their phones/gallivanting/being obnoxious the entire time.
