“Queen Elizabeth exudes art deco elegance and cements her place as a Cunard fan favourite.
“Queen Elizabeth really does cater for all, from the line dancing and aerobics classes in the Queens Room to the sports games on the upper deck and the beautiful Mareel Spa. There are multiple dining options, and afternoon tea in the Queens Room is a must-try. I would also recommend the cocktail-making class in the Commodore Club.
“You can feel the sense of Cunard tradition onboard, yet everything is very relaxed and not at all as formal as some may think. I would recommend getting dressed up for the gala evenings, it really is a special thing to feel a part of.
“The staff onboard are just amazing; nothing is too much trouble. They are so personable, and they make you feel right at home!” - Rebecca Hendry, ROL Cruise
