I can’t wait to share this special voyage with you ❤
What a great watch. I’ve never really considered Cunard as being for us but after watching this I’ve spent the morning proving up trips !! Love the nibbles with drinks, I hadn’t realised that I miss that until now 😂 thanks for taking us along
It’s those little things that all add up to something special
I really don’t think any ship can beat the feeling of embarking the QM2 at the start of a Transatlantic cruise - it just seems like such an occasion!
Enjoyed this one Jamie - looks like we have similar experiences on here - I really enjoyed my TA on here!
Awesome 🤩
What a wonderful voyage on Queen Mary 2 I can't wait to book great food and drinks Jamie thanks for sharing
Very welcome 🙏
Awesome watch! The ladies looked stunning dancing! XOXO
My girls ❤️
Another great video Jamie , can’t wait for part 2, karaoke was brilliant , you were ace 😊
Haha! The effects of vodka lol 😂
Jamie... One of the best QM2 videos I have seen!. I've travelled on her many times and you have captured her beautifully and I cannot wait for my next carribean trip . May I ask as you seem to enjoy a tipple, can you get sugar free mixers for instance ginger ale etc. or sugar free cocktails I see they have plenty of sugar free/low sugar desserts. I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and was wondering what I can drink lol. I cannot wait for part 2. Jennie x
Ah thank you so much! Yes, there’s a range of sugar free mixers. Cocktails trickier but just let the bar staff know when need substituting or omitting.
You looked great on both Smart Attire and Gala nights. Isn’t it great to dress to match the elegance of the ship?
You have a fun and personal way of presenting your Vlogs. Thank you!
Thank you John
I love theae Vlogs I am totally hooked now I always dream about a Cunard TAV but not tocked it off yet xx
It’s a great experience
Simply fabulous, thank you x
😘🚢
Welcome 🙏
Looks like a beautiful ship 🚢 , it’s definitely one to try at some point.
I felt very at home
I really liked your video. Your video style and narrative is very good.
Thanks 🙏
Honestly, your cruise (voyage*** 😊) videos are some of the best to help me pass the time between my own! Finally taking my SO on his first in October! Round trip Enchanted Princess from NYC up through New England and Nova Scotia!
Would love to see you and Matthew take a cruise through Canada or Australia in the near future!
That’s sounds like an amazing itinerary and yes, one we’d love to do. ❤️❤️❤️
I really loved part 1 Jamie ❤... it does look a very comforting ship ... BTW, your singing isn't too bad either 😊 x
lol 😂
Jamie, you look so much at home on the QM2 compared to the other cruise ships you have been on!
Cunard features in my most memorable cruises vlog so I’m not surprised to hear this
Jamie! You are an absolute blast, you looked super handsome in your formal attire including your braces 👍 your singing in the karaoke was awesome 👍, looking forward to the next one. Be lucky my friend xxx
Thank you so much ☺️
The man can sing …..👍👏👏👏
🎤 🎤 🎤
We were following you out of Southampton on Anne. First time cruiser.
How was your first cruise?
Pringle song is doin' my head in.....again!
Oh dear
O laughed at a "Tipsy" Jamie trying to carry his late night sandwiches back to the cabin while.holding a camera ha. You seem such a laugh fella
Tipsy? Moi? I’m totally undrunkable 👀
The thermal spa looked amazing! Can’t wait for my Cunard cruise in October!
It’s a great one!
That's what my partner and I thought too for our Oct 25th sailing!
I like the positive approach to your videos. I get tired of people picking apart every little facet of their experience. Also, GREAT idea to order a small sized pasta as a starter!
🙏🙏🙏
@@TravelBlogJamie , my hubby and I (and a few friends) will be on board Queen Anne westbound TA this coming January. Will you be on board?
@@johndorning3328 oh I’ve got a few trips already planned in January but I would have loved to
Loved watching the first part of your voyage! I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself. My favourite ship! I’ve loved all my Transatlantic crossings on QM2 and loved all these sea days to just relax and detach from the world. Looking forward to the second part!! Xx
It was such a wonderful experience and I thank you for watching ❤️
I’m so excited to see it! 🎉
You definitely feature in this one 😉
This one was extra special. So lovely to see you all dressed up fancy. You looked extra smart.
🙏🙏🙏
Yay! Looks flippin awesome Jamie - especially the a) week long pass to the Thermal suite - sign me UP! b) cocktails in the commodore lounge sign me UP! c) breakfast delivered yes, yes and yes! Can't wait for the next bit!
Thank youuuu
This was fab to watch. Can't wait to see part 2. You did look like you were really enjoying it. We also loved the in room dining. It is such a great part of QM2. There is so much of the ship that we still have to see. Your videos are helping with that. Sailing last July with our dog does limit a bit what you can do. But we could not just leave him in the kennels all day. Sailing again in December with our dog also means the same restrictions, but this is how we will be traveling back and forth from now on. So eventually we will get to see it all. Xx
I love that you sail with your dog - fabulous
I have been so excited for this one 😄 thank you for all your hard work Jamie! ❤
Hope you enjoy ☺️
Thanks Jamie, so enjoyable to watch, it’s my Saturday morning ritual watching your vlogs with a lovely cup of coffee x
Oh you might need a few to get through this vlog lol 😂
I had a very large Honeydukes cup so I was ok 😂
@@Tania008 lol 😂 Good move!
Cannot wait for this one
Hope you enjoy
I have thoroughly enjoyed this first part of your voyage and I am so looking forward to the second part. I love QM2 and I am so happy you do too x
Thank you 🙏
This was wonderful to watch! I very much enjoyed seeing the food, the views, your commentary and hearing that the service was fabulous. Thank you!
Very welcome 🙏
Great part 1 Jamie, can't wait to see the second half and New York. Love how excited you were, like a child at Christmas. Always a joy to watch 😊🗽 x
Haha! It’s true, I was!!
❤ Great first part Jamie .
I just love your reviews honest and very detailed . I sailed on qm2 5 yrs ago but you have provided additional insight on lots of things I missed ..thank you xxxx
You’re very welcome ☺️
Your sheer joy on this trip is infectious:)
Awww thank you 🙏 I loved it!
Oh I'm So excited! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hope you enjoy ☺️
This is lovely…I’m with you now, hadn’t thought of it previously but a transatlantic is definitely going on the bucket list. Can’t wait for Pt. 2!
Yaaaaay! I had a great time
Love QM2 transatlantic. So relaxing. Beautiful ship. I love the chart room. I've stayed in solo cabins which are great being on decks 2 or 3 very quiet, very close to the sea handy for Britannia restaurant theatre queen room etc. I always get the thermal week long pass too. So glad you are enjoying the voyage. I need to book another one. Your videos are always informative and honest.
Much appreciated and yes, get booking!
This liner is right up our street can't wait for our transatlantic ❤️. See you in a few weeks 👍😁
See you soon!
Great vlog Jamie... you are having such a good time! You looked very dapper for the posh night... The "only you" performance was brilliant 🎉 thanks for sharing 😊
Thank youuuu so much Chris ❤️❤️❤️
We sail back from the USA on her on 23rd August with our 10 year old son, and cannot wait having watched your videos!
Have the best time 🥂
I did a transatlantic years ago on the QE2 I loved it. It felt like a time gone by. Watching you great video I must do one again. Great Video as always 👍
Thank you so much ☺️
Loved loved loved this vlog great karaoke lovely voice Jamie. Looked a nice relaxing ship and great size inside cabin. Roll on part 2 xx
Glad you enjoyed! Now to actually edit part 2 😂
Loved the Karaoke both got amazing voices xx
Oh bless you 🙏
Absolutely loved this vlog Jamie. You always go above and beyond to explain & cover every aspect of the voyage. You fill the vlog with your unique style & personality "Which is a refreshing change". Looking forward to part 2. Many thanks. 😊
Awww I love this - thank you so much
@@TravelBlogJamie You're very welcome. ❤
Sailing on the Queen Mary 2 New York to Southampton on July 27th. Can’t wait to see part 2 of your voyage!
Thank you 🙏
What a great vlog Jamie. The ship looks amazing, she certainly handles the rough seas.
Always thought Cunard was a bit stuffy but going by your review definitely not.
Roll on part 2
Thank you 🙏 I think dressing up can be a part of a Cunard experience for sure, but I don’t think this is a stuffy experience. Such a mix of nationalities on a transatlantic with so many reasons for people being there. Dressing up isn’t everyone’s main reason, that’s for sure.
You can get a sun rise clock app on your phone to use in the inside cabin..just keep your phone plugged in though as like all apps it can use the juice. The one we use even has a dawn chorus!
Yes this works for some people for sure!
Spent a fabulous Saturday night with you. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Thank you for sharing it with me
Hi Jamie fantastic video you have a great voice I've heard you singing on I think it was Iona what a gorgeous ship Queen Mary 2 is the food looks amazing too have a fantastic time 😊
Thank you Wendy 🙏🙏🙏
Yazoooooo 🎉fantastic karaoke 🎤 choice 😎👍🏻 brilliant once again ❤
Thank youuuuuu
Really enjoyedvthis video on Queen Mary as a solo traveller on an inside cabin. Will share this. Video with a few solo friends.
Thank you so much
Oh Jamie, I'm so excited about our QM2 cruise next April after watching this. It's lovely to see that they still have a lot of the little extras that are no more on P&O. Room service looks amazing 🎉❤
Ps. Love the new Tshirt 😄
Oh I love those little extras - all add up to something special imo - excited for you
Just watched. Fabulous part one, feel like we need another trip on QM now as ours was a short one to try it.
Loving the ‘Only You’ rendition, your voice is pretty good. No idea on the Pringle song though!
Haven’t seen braces since my grandad wore them but you did look super smart. Look forward to the next instalment. Thanks Jamie x
Thank you for all your comments ❤️❤️❤️
Love this. When can we expect part 2....thank you J......amie.
Wednesday
Can't wait. Cheers.
@@johnstringer2566 🥂
Great blog jamie as always .u scrub up well .roll on part 2
Thanks Rob
Looks fabulous 👌
I loved it
Excellent video of a very well appointed ship 👍 Loads of daily activities etc did you manage to sneak off to the Masonic Bretheren Get Together for some furtive handshaking ? 😉
Absolutely not lol 😝
Thank you for a wonderful balanced review. Really enjoying it and would love to do the same trip ♥
Very welcome 🙏
Very informative and entertaining Jamie.
Thank you 🙏
Thank You For Sharing. We Will Be On The QM2 This Fall. We Are Definitely Looking Forward To Our First Time On The QM2
Hope you have a great time
Thankyou Jamie being able to get away from election news/football/tennis on a Saturday morning sitting watching you with a cuppa dog on my knee what could be better - brilliant vlog as usual x
Thank youuuuu as always
I loved every minute of this, thanks for taking us along. Is it sad that my favourite bit was the coffee on the gorgeous silver tray with the iced water and home made biscuits?! That kind of small detail makes me so happy! x
Not at all! I’m in love with iced coffee on silver trays 😂
@@TravelBlogJamie That's your Christmas present from Mathoo sorted! x
@@angelacox-martin2789 😂
Love you too Jamie❤️❤️
😘
Didn’t know you could sing Jamie sounded good
Not bad after too much vodka lol
A great vlog.
Thank you 🙏
I misheard what you said about what you said about the thermal pool Jamie when you said it was for your 'knots' i got a letter wrong and had to rewind to check lol, looked lovely especially foot spa, the ship looks amazing x
lol 😂 People always seem to mishear me 😉
I am a semi professional singer and you should do more singing, you have a fab voice.
Oh my goodness 😮
Hi Jamie, I think you got slightly mixed up between "Smart Attire" and "relaxed attire" in your comment about jeans. Quoting the sections from the programme for a smart attire night; it reads: "Smart Attire From 6.00pm on board, we request you wear collared shirt and trousers, top and skirt or stylish trousers, or a dress."
But on both gala nights and smart attire nights it then goes on to read: "Of course, if you prefer to spend tonight in more relaxed attire, a selection of casual dining and entertainment venues are available for your enjoyment. Feel free to dress casually as you visit any of the following venues: Kings Court, Golden Lion Pub, Casino, Carinthia Lounge, and G32. Please note that non-ripped jeans are appropriate,".
The bit about non-ripped jeans being acceptable only relates to the specified venues on any night. That's not to say that someone wearing smart jeans will be turned away from other venues on a smart attire night.
💙
❤❤❤
:)
Classic humour as always ♥️😂
👀
😂 exactly 👀
@@beergoggletravellers honestly, I’m not known for subtlety
😂
@@beergoggletravellers 😉
Great vlog Jamie. You told Amanda twice you didn’t luv her lol 😢she’s very sad lol. She thought you looked very handsome in you bow tie
#pooramanda
Pringle song - Umpa lumpa
Hehe! Nope
Oooo no 🤣🤣🤣
@@soniauk4284 lol 😂
Love your latest vlog Jamie - is the Pringles song the "Oompa Loompa" song from Willy Wonka - I'm probably so way off the mark.
Hehe! Nope, no one has go it yet though
Hi Jamie what time did the coffee shop open in the mornings? P n O was always annoyingly late for us early risers 😂
Oh if you look at the programme I filmed, it’ll show you! I don’t remember off the top of my head! I’ll have a look again later
Wonder if Simon will let me book? 🤭
Only one way to find out
Hi Jamie, loved the video. Strange question for you, at one part of the video in the spa, you had a very arty effect on your video, would love to know how you did that. Cheers ❤
Hehe! It’s one of the filters on iMovie
Thanks Jamie
Jamie I’m cruising next year with my cat…was everything ok on board? Did you get sea sick?? Thanks man
All covered in the vlog! It was a great experience!
I didn't know you can bring your cat on board - that's awesome. Do they stay in your cabin?
Not sure but is the Pringles song Britney Spears If u seek Amy? I’m sure you’re saying something about all the boys and all the girls? Xx
Yeeeeees well done!!! First to get it right
I’ve never heard it before, I asked my daughter.
@@michellecrawford7986 lol 😂 clever girl
Turn the HDR off on your phone, better picture quality with the HDR off
👍
@13:36 I had to pause and deep breathe....... as a hotel manager for 26 years I would die of shame if mt dining room set up was this shabby it may sound petty but the chairs are allover the place Eveeything should be laid with military possition cullyery glasses etc should all be identically placed and the chairs the exa t same distance from table. Even brewers fayre does a better job. #Shocked #VeryVeryPoor #NotGood
It sounds petty and picky but I have been in the trade soooo long I would literally of locked the doors of my restaurant until it was presented tip top perfection. You should always let guests expect the best and then exceed there expectations. That comes to presentation music levels lighting temperature etc. I have trained at least 3 of my dormer staff who went on to sail on this ship and I think they would agree this ain't perfection baby
What you’re looking at there is an incomplete setting though, filmed a few hours prior to dinner service
