Amazing content!

Dress up is great There is not many reasons to dress up on land ( hatch, match, dispatch😢, or christenings ) British people just don’t dress up on land

Fantastic video. Ver informative for those who haven't travelled on QA. very disappointed with pool sizes also, not being allowed to walk through grills.

Mmmmm. Looks bland! I wonder if the service was as crap as Iona?🤔 P&O is probably the worst cruise company that I’ve traveled with!

Not keen on the script less conversation and more info prefered

Thanks for the update on drink prices. Your analysis was well thought out and well done. We've sailed 5 times on Cunard, the most recent a Crossing 8 weeks ago, and you can actually bring unlimited wine and spirits onboard for cabin consumption. You can also bring your own bottles of wine to the MDR but there will be a $25 corkage fee per bottle. However, considering that Cunard branded bottles of wine (red, white and rose) are in the mid $30's, it really doesn't make much sense to do that. We consider ourselves to be moderate drinkers (wine/cocktails) but on cruises step that up a bit but even then we agree that the drinks package is not worth it for us on Cunard.

Procesco is included in both packages....why do you say it isn't?...even says so in and visible in your video on last menu!

Beautiful Ship. Which restaurants do you have to pay extra for ? And which are included ?

Did they refit the rooms at all? Update carpet, etc?

It was a lovely cruise, shame it was only 5 nights 🙏🏻

I took my Father in Law (90) on the 10 day from NY to Hamburg Germany. I give it a mixed review; OK, but should never be compared to a ocean cruise ship. Cost was reasonable, design is dated, maintenance was ongoing during the cruise (even in our balcony twice!). Ship layout did not flow very well. Elevators were very slow. Food was not good, many selections which looked appetizing but weren't). Entertainment was average. Activities were numerous, repetitive & not things I (60) cared to participate in. Cabin & service was adequate, but we could have done without the painting of our balcony (strong & awful smell) & smoke alarm installation (both while we were in our room). In summary, QM2 was just not our cup of tea.

I didn't see the Enchanted Forest. Is it still there after drydock?

Not worth it. Princess drinks are very weak. That's why they're making it unlimited. 15 alcoholic drinks and you won't even get a buzz! If they said, we'll give you 10 alcoholic drinks and we'll actually put some alcohol in them.... then I would consider the premier plan.

Sailed with Princess many times and am at their top tier, so, yes, a few cruises with them. When the industry restarted after the pandemic restrictions, they had a promotion where Princess Plus was added at no charge to the reservations so I booked one. Back then, ships were only still at about the 50% capacity mark so this type of promotion was likely once in a lifetime. The benefit was that it gave me the opportunity to test out a package. Not being a heavy drinker, that week I recall having about four glasses of wine total--even a bartender commented that for the Plus package that he had not seen anyone use it so little. Specialty dining has never held any appeal to me and even with gratuities, I don't trust the cruise lines, so I still give direct cash to the stateroom attendants, despite paying for it; it is a hot topic on its own so I just consider it as part of the fare. For my next cruise in Nov with them, I am still pay-as-you-go. I bought the internet and prepaid the gratuities. For basic math, these two add-ons were about $200 but if I had to buy the Plus, I was quoted around $600 and to be honest I didn't even check to see what the Premier would cost . I would never drink, either in booze or regular coffee from the cafe (I am bland, so not even specialty coffee for me), so the packages have no value to me at all. Of course, everyone has a preference so it would be a personal choice:)

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Be aware COVID19 INFECTION ON BOARD THE WHOLE YEAR OF 2024. WE TOOK THE CRUISE FROM 10 AUG 2024 AND GOT SEVERE CORONA BY ARRIVAL AT HOME. In spite of avoiding the shows and sitting diner knowing from previous reviews that the infestation is active. We saw crew members but also a large amount of passangers of all ages coughing, neezing and using napkins to wipe out the nose. On sea days they restrict the entrance to the buffet and forsed hundrends of passangers to wait up to 30 min in a closed hall while everyone is coughing and neezing. No social distancing. Never cruising again. Cruise boats are super spreaders.

Are you allowed to bring sweeties and booze with you when boarding? Great video. Thanks

Sorry i was on the azura in april may 2024 and was very displeased with mdr service the crew we inconsistant every meal time , the Indian speciality was fantastic we did not get to try iona in 2023 as my partner came down with covid on board iona. But azura tea coffee water machines not working late night buffet was terrible. Tokd we could not fill our water bottle they wanted use to buy canned water sorry we ignored this not paying for water when theres a machine to provide cold water. azura was dirty compared to iona iona crew constantly cleaning public area all the time. Azura l8fts in main atrium 4 not working the whole 7 days. Cabin steward was very good . Same on iona Iona steward would prep are carbin of an evening or ant time azura nothing after 11am that that we needed it Azura an older ship with a very strange lay out to decks lots of dead end corridors. The staff where very mixed dome worked reslly hard and other where lazy . Buy morning 6 i was fed up in mdr one of our waiters was working so hard whilst 4 stood talking food was coming out late or cold so i had to say something the supervision was very poor. One thing that lets p&o down is there main dinnjng room food presentation it very poor the food look dumped on the plate with no thought and no two plates where arrange the same there appear to be no plating instruction and no one is supervising the food going out. The buffet was very hit and miss again staff did not seem to know where they should be . It was a shame it felt like half the crew where new or had come from another ship well some clearly had as they had a different ships name on sone of there work wear. But that should be an issue. Basics getbthe badics right.

To be fair p&o listened and did away with this charter airline they are uding tui ba virgin jet2 etc

Can u get bottles of water as part of the 15 drinks per day?

HI, the juice and water in the Maya buffet are available all day, do you know that? Or do we need to do a drink package to drink anything?

I will continue to pay as you go for anything over and above the inclused and we always opt out of the ridiculous auto gratuties anyway.

Just got off Britannia last Friday after 2 weeks round the Med, was absolutely amazing.

Where does everyone make their bookings online? Don’t want to get scammed or do you just book direct online with MSC? Thanks x

ALWAYS... opt out of daily tips

I just got off a Caribbean Princess cruise, a COMPLETE rip off!!! I didn't buy either plan due to on board credits plus platinum 1/2 off Wi-Fi. I came away with a check from Princess for $150.65 on a 16 night cruise! -you've got to be foolish, lazy, or a drunk to buy those add ons. Oh by the way, Princess features Italian Lavazza coffee in the Buffett! Delicious!

Thank you so much for all the info 🥰

Video excellent. The worse cruise I have ever done. The service was appauling.

@4bs ❓ please can I have your advice and anyone else? I’m about to book a cruise as single mummy for next year with my three children which will then be going at ages 9, 7 & 5. I’ve always wanted to do a cruise. So for first time and for the best for my kids as I don’t want my own time. which would you suggest PO or MSC ? I’m drawn to the glam of MSC and my son likes the look of arcades etc (they won’t be going into kids club. Can the use any kids area facilities?) But also scared that I won’t be able to cope if the seating is really terrible? Will either be boring for the kids as going In term time as I home educate? Looking at Virtuosa to canary’s Is 12 nights to long for first cruise? Or 7 nights feel like you wished you had a bit longer to get into the flow? Thank you for any comments and advice in advance xx

You are not allowed to brim No alchol on board to drink in your room. You can order 25oz drinks to your room fill up 2 water bottles and you are set for the cruise and you are free to have your 1 beer for lunch and 2 wines for dinner.

Looks like the trains from London dont offer a direct train due to construction of some sort currently. Is it possible to take an Uber directly from our hotel in London all the way to the cruise port?

How come you get 1447 passenger when all other reports say 1250 max??

Great footage. Wills would love to drone down Southampton way and see all the ships! Cheers 🍻

It looks like a lovely idea, but doesn't make any difference to us. It's not a reason we'd not cruise with them. Shame for families though. Cheers 🍻

I'm expecting a decline in the MDR service. There are only so many crew to serve the people & they're certainly not going to spend extra for additional members just for the specialty restaurants.

The Premier package is not meant for a family of four, it's meant for a couple. The unlimited drinks really don't come into play since only a miniscule percentage of Princess cruisers would consume 16+ drinks per day. The unlimited specialty dining is where the value comes into play. The only other line that offers it is Royal Caribbean and after tips it's over 600 per couple for a 7 day cruise. When you add the drink package on Royal, it is now about 2000 per couple for drinks and specialty. Add in tips and wifi and the other inclusions and Princess Premier is a bargain compared to what it would cost on Royal Caribbean.

You hit the nail on the head, unlimited is just a headline grab.

Princess Plus, it's not worth it for me as on a 14-day cruise, me and my partner will only have 14 glasses of wine on the cruise, so it's better for us to buy the Wi-Fi and pay service charges and tips.

Instead of telling us that you'll tell us in a minute, why not just bloody tell us? SO much waffling to make yourself look good. Sorry, you don't! Complete waste of video time for you to grandstand.

Very slick, but was waiting for the mike drop at the end…

Just come off queen anne one engine broke so missed first stop and cruised for 4days non stop to Barcelona 😢😢 did not like the ship at all and have been cruising with cunard since 1969 this is not the service we expected as with many passengers on board will not using cunard again which is sad😢

Awesome upgrade Planning Alaska cruise for next year right now leaning towards Princess but this one about$1500 cheaper🤷‍♂️

A friend who has been sailing on Queen Mary 2 since its launch said his recent Indian Ocean voyage was disappointing. The liner was as good as ever but the quality of the passengers had deteriorated. Some quite rough people on board.
