Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“This was our first cruise and we were not dissapointed. We didn’t know anyone who had sailed with Cunard and did not think their description of cruises they had been on were for us (not into water slides rock climbing or hundreds of screaming kids nor does a river cruise sound appealing…… “-Elley
