Queen Elizabeth, Mediterranean
5
The start of the cruise was unusual, it was too rough out at the Nab for the pilot to safely disembark, so we were 28 hrs late leaving. Not really a problem as it was due to be a sea day. It meant that Tenerife had to be missed out. We know it well, so not a problem.
I marked the excursions down as the trip to see Lobos island was a waste of money - boat scruffy, no commentary and all we saw was the sea. Not told, but suspect it was too rough to get near the shore and see the reserve, yes Cunard do know. Rest of excursions were fine. The visit to the Spanish riding School was outstanding and I was able to stock up on my favourite Tio Pepe, something you can’t do if you are on a fly cruise.
Public rooms were marked down because of the seats, particularly in the garden room, not as good as the QM.
Best part was the crew, all of them, but a special mention for our wine waiter. He knew his job and he suggested new varieties that we thoroughly enjoyed.
