‘A more balanced experience in playful seas’ is the best description I’ve ever heard to explain the benefit of a mid ship cabin - love it!

@visitwithus Ай бұрын

Haha, love this. We also like the saying ‘the more you pay the more you sway’ in that the higher end cabins are usually high up and at the extreme ends of the ships where there’s the most movement 😂

One thing which is ALWAYS missing for we ladies is a magnifying make up mirror at the desk where we can sit and apply out make up. I notice that there is a magnifying mirror in the bathroom in the higher suites but who wants to stand up in there to do makeup? Disappointing as the Q3 Penthouse suites on QV do have them.

Absolutely. None in the main cabins. Generally the lighting in the bathroom is very good so it hasn’t been a huge issue but Helen does love a decent magnifying mirror😁👍

We had a deluxe ocean view on the maiden voyage and we were very impressed with the cabin, especially the separate shower room and the size of the sofa. We are on QA again in October in a Q4 so we shall see what that is like. I think the Q1 is trying far to hard and it appears like Cunard forgot what Queens Grill is all about. A good example is the dining cupboard that seats 6. Really!

Ever since the pleasent shock surprise of experiencing Queen Elizabeth back in 2019, I've become something of a Cunard simp. They take the typical cruise ship design and change it ever so to feel bizarrely classic. Doesn't mean I'm not quick to accept some of the even glaring problems and ehhs the ships have come with. And QV appears just as susceptible. Sliding balcony doors have become the norm on CARNIVAL ships. I really do love the carpeting color and pattern choices. And the transatlantic humoUr. If I DO say!

Standard categories? Quite nice! The suites? Meh, a bit conference room looking, and disappointing. However, its refreshing reverse criticism. Overall like many new builds, looking like all-inclusive resorts - soulless based on successful formula for mass, inoffensive appeal. Cunard's marketing prowess at work. And who would've ever imagined Cunard being less segregated than American lines like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian decades ago. Oh, by the way- another FANTASTIC tour! Thank you!
