Has Princess Cruises become a floating seniors' country club with unremarkable food? 😮

Thank for sharing the info. Keep dancing & smiling

Thank for sharing

not electric slide...achy breaky heart

I think it's lovely that you take every opportunity to dance.

Tony, I enjoy watching your many dance videos on the Cunard ships, but I think you have the wrong song title for this tune. It is 'Puttin on the Ritz' not 'When I get low I get high' both are great tunes for a quickstep, keep dancing and loading your videos.

Thank you for this lovely reminder of many happy moments in the Queens room. The dancers are elegant and graceful...

Beautiful foxtrot.

Music is alright, passable. This all seems to be instrumental music, though what I love most about ballroom music is the rich voices...lots of room to dance though!

Not sure who you mean, the fellow in the black shirt seems to know his stuff, I'm presuming he's the teacher.?

The ballroom is beautiful. The people look like a fun group.

So nice to watch my favourite dance and I love the big band music. Thank you.

Good dancing around the pillar. On one of our cruises the dancing was held in a small room used for disco that had three pillars and bad lighting. Only went one night, as we were the only ones dancing. Not a lot of atmosphere and we felt really sorry for the dance instructors they again asked us what dances we would like. Really don’t understand why cruise lines cannot incorporate ballroom, Latin, sequence, line dance and pop. I think more people would attend those evenings. Great dancing again love your videos.

Great idea with the music. I didn't read about the swap until after watching the video. You got it matched up perfectly for timing, I didn't notice anything to suggest you had done that.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Been on Queen Anne wouldn’t go on it again … it photographs well ! Nothing Cunard about it

What a beautiful performance.

Very nice, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for explaining how they’re doing it now. I had heard there were some changes from full orchestra and singer all evening.

Great for space, but a bit disappointing that so few were taking advantage of it. Perhaps explained by last night and folk too busy packing. Admittedly we missed most of the recorded sessions as we do photos and pre dinner drinks from 6pm, then leisurely dinner about 7pm. It's nearer 8.30pm before we get to The Queens Room and probably only manage a couple of dances before the live set starts. And thank you again for posting this, it's always a treat to watch any dancing from that venue.

Another great video, thank you. I think we'd be pleased if Wave Duo appeared on any of our QM2 bookings. I'm quite envious of that couple that I think are British trained. They managed to do several little variations that I'm sure we've learned in past and long forgotten! I suspect they probably attend a regular class. We have a 2 hour session with our last Scottish teacher later in the year, followed by her public class. But that will just cover brushing up on any faults, not likely to have time to revise variations. There's lots of criticism of QA's Queens Room on Cruise Critic, but it seems to be from non dancers who claim not to have the seating or sight lines to watch others dancing. I know you've expressed positive opinions about it and from your videos it looks absolutely fine for dancing.

Some lovely dancing there. I always enjoy watching.

It takes just as much courage to make a nice comment like yours. When Maria and I dance, we feel the world has only the two of us. She will not forgo the enjoyment of dancing to a good tune😊.

Watched a few videos of yours and all I can say is good on you for getting up first. My husband used to hate being first to the floor but it does encourage other dancers ( he doesn’t think twice about it now) You can clearly see you both love dancing xx

I know you're not that keen on style comment. As a British trained hobby dancer I do like to see dancers following a similar style to our own training. I'm glad to see that the gentleman of my favourite couple on the floor actually wore a tux that night. There was another gala when his partner was dressed to the nines and he was in a lounge suit. I would never do that to my wife! Sorry to make a dress code comment! 😀 That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with styles from other regions. What we've come across in France is completely different from the UK. I do envy what you find in California. On the Cote d'Azur outdoors on gravel tends to be the best we get. There were of course lots of great dancers on the floor including yourselves, but as a dancer you tend to focus on certain ones. Lastly I should add thanks again for a great video. You may have gathered that QM2 is our favourite and the only one we sail on. Vloggers don't appreciate that all we really want to see is dancing in the Queens Room.

Hi Tony & Maria, Another enjoyable video to watch, thanks. Who were the folk sitting at the Cunard table in the corner on right of screen? Seems unusual to have a sort of official table there. Was that pre covid? Don't remember QE being in Baltic since the restart, and don't think St. Petersburg has been a stop since March 2022.

Bravo Tony and Maria. Please continue posting dances.

This sounds like my high school stage band in 1962. Can’t Cunard do better?

Just been on QM2 and it seems that they have cut back drastically on using the Queens room for ballroom and using it more for 'party nights' No afternoon tea dance. No sequence dance sessions. If this is becoming the norm, we won't be cruising Cunard again,

Whats with all the wavy, sticking out arms?

What a beautiful ballroom and such a nice way to raise money for charity.

The chap in the black/cream shirt & the lady in green/coral can dance! He leads, she follows - there is a blending of their bodies...you cannot just walk to a tune - walking isn't dancing no matter how many times you fling your arms around..

I always thought that the tango would be difficult to do but you made it look quite easy. I still don't think I could do it justice.

It is of course great to get any music to dance to, but slightly disappointing that there were two vocalists sitting doing nothing. If Shirley Bassey could sing along to that 60 years ago you would have thought one or both of them could have made an effort to sing along.

Many Thanks

Beautiful dancing to a beautiful song. Everyone looked so elegant.

Lovely excellent viewing Thank-you

Thank you for this beautiful video. I've had a bad week and this was very calming for me.

Part of the issue with Queen Anne may be that Cunard have gone out of their way to market her as different from the others. They seem to think they need younger passengers. I don't quite get that, because the supply of old people is always being topped up so they're not likely to run short. You've experienced what seems like a policy to restrict the availability of dancing and that has been reflected in programmes for cruises before you sailed. Yet another thing I don't understand; I read comments from dancers that seem bothered if the floor isn't rectangular, perhaps that puts them off. We've danced on odd shaped floors over the years, and we see you dancing on other lines that don't have floors like Cunard.

Hi Ryan, glad we can chat online, haha. Have you booked another QM2?😊

Thank you for capturing such wonderful evenings. Tony and Maria, you are both a delight.❤

It was like a dream! We enjoyed dancing with lots of happy couples ❤and amazing guitar music!!

What lovely music. It must have been very nice dancing to it.

Hi Tony, Do you recall the title of a swing song that was used in Zumba classes on Queen Anne? Apparently they used the same music each day. Someone on Cruise Critic is asking.

Spoiling us with two so quickly! Sometimes folk ask if they as novices or non dancers will annoy others and get in their way. There was a couple there that prove that idea is nonsense. I suspect that one of them had mobility issues, but I noted that all the dancers managed to negotiate a path avoiding them even when they were going against the line of dance.

QA's Queens Room fits the field of vision on your videos quite nicely. The other couple chose to get a cha cha out of that music, which reminded me of a recent post on a forum. The poster seemed to be complaining that when a piece of contemporary music was played in the Queens Room dancers still did ballroom or latin dances to it, as if that was wrong and you should only dance disco to pop tunes! They didn't seem to get the concept of a shared space for everyone. 😀

Hi Joan, yes, we enjoy dancing to good music! This piece has nice beats and easy to dance. Ballroom dance is always our favorite 💃🕺🏻

This was so different to your other dance videos. Did you enjoy it as much?

That must have been a wonderful cruise and everything looks so elegant. I really enjoyed watching.

A stunning video Tony Maria especially as we were there with you. Brings it all back beautiful scenery beautiful ship and lovely people on board.
