We love cruising and specifically we love cruising with Cunard. These blogs are intended for my own consumption, but they can also act as a repository of useful cruising knowledge for people wanting to cruise with Cunard.

2026 Daily Reports QV Greek Islands 2026 Sea Days

At Sea Bound for Crete – Day 3 – May 6th

06/05/202606/05/2026

What a good night’s sleep, one of the beauties of a Cunard cruise is how comfortable the beds are, It doesn’t matter what class you’re travelling, either down with the rowers in steerage or up with the nobs in the Grills, we all get the same immensely comfortable Sealy Cunarder

Heading East Towards Greece – Day 2 – May 5th

05/05/202605/05/2026

I had a much better sleep than the previous night in Barcelona, it’s nice to back in the, oh so comfy Cunard beds and fluffy pillows. On the first day Jane never feels like making it to breakfast, scuppered by a combination of excitement and booze she’d already preempted not

Barcelona – Embarkation – Day 1 – May 4th

04/05/202605/05/2026

This cruise has had a bit of a chequered start. Our original flights were scheduled to travel from London City Airport to Barcelona, which was ideal for us, LCY is a fantastic little airport and only thirty minutes away from us by taxi, so ideal. That wasn’t to be and

Embarkation, Southampton – Friday 7th November – Day 1

18/11/202525/04/2026

QM2 was arriving late into Southampton this morning, apparently the sea crossing from New York had been a bit lumpy so she’d been diverted south to avoid the worst of it. We had already been informed by text by Cunard and advised to arrive one hour later than planned to

First Sea Day – Saturday 8th November – Day 2

18/11/202521/03/2026

We decided to go straight to bed after dinner, it had been a hectic day and even though I fancied seeing the featured act in the theatre going to bed was the better choice. We were about to lose an hour because we were moving onto CET from GMT. It’s

North Sea – Remembrance Sunday – November 9th – Day 3

18/11/202521/03/2026

I had a much better sleep, barring one thing, the Illy coffee machine started flashing during the night, and once I’d seen it I couldn’t not see it. I ended up turning it off by unplugging it. I ended up sleeping so late Jane had to nudge me awake and

Trondheim – November 10th – Day 4

18/11/202521/03/2026

We arrived in the Norwegian port of Trondheim overnight, and it’s now noticeably colder on the balcony. We had a walking tour booked for the morning so Jane had decided to get room service for breakfast and have a lie in but I like the Grills Restaurant for breakfast so

Heading North – 11th November – Day 5

18/11/202521/03/2026

Jane nudged me at 08:45 reminding me  I needed to get myself up and dressed if I wanted to make breakfast, but I was still feeling full after the excellent meal in Bamboo the previous evening, so I grunted and turned over and went back to to sleep for a

Tromsø First Day – 12th November – Day 6

18/11/202521/03/2026

We were going to have a quiet day as we had our Northern Light’s tour booked for later in the afternoon. So after a leisurely breakfast where I had my first fry-up it was time to do some laundry. There aren’t any launderettes on deck 9 so I was tasked

Tromsø Second Day – 13th November – Day 7

18/11/202521/03/2026

We managed to miss breakfast again, obviously over excited by yesterdays adventures. We were on our second day in Tromsø, and had nothing planned before the early afternoon so had decided on finishing off the laundry. I was tasked with ironing my shirts while Jane went in search of a
