I LOVE this guy! I do walk-through videos of yachts, and quickly learned that it is better for the presenter to walk forwards and the cameraman to walk backwards...wonderful initiative though.
Yachts For Sale - You are so right! He is a good presenter. He could have been even more on point had the camera crew been walking backwards (with a spotter) allowing him to walk forward, which also provided the illusion of the video story moving forward. Good observation!
Not sure why there are so many negative comments about this video, I enjoyed it. I thought Francis was very professional and knowledgeable with the ship. And the cameraman done a great job moving around. Its a live stream so don't expect any fancy camera work or different angles. Just raw footage of a great ship.
I've been on a one week Tour of Norway with QV last year. A great ship and great service. Great for everyone who likes traveling in style absent the masses you tend to collide with on other cruise lines. Aim to travel with Cunard again.
I like a Video like this, with its normal Quality and a normal moderator! It shows that Cunard is just a normal company and not a Rich, snooty Company!
Cunard is quite a unique experience. One day I expect to do a round trip Transatlantic trip from New York. Sadly, my Momsy won't be with me. She passed away last year.

Sir, is it possible to reserve a lifeboat solely for my family and me? The thought of having to share one with steerage makes my supple skin crawl. I would also appreciate it if some of the other lifeboats could be sabotaged so that we may escape while watching others panic.
I honestly don’t blame him for panting while he walked up the stairs, I’ve been on the Ventura, and the stairs on that Ship were so steep! It also didn’t help that our cabin was on the highest but one deck!
ohh wow shes nice,I was in stavanger wen queen elizabeth was there and i was in the engineroom on mv nordsjernen and i saw the propells on queen elizabeth are in move. And wen i was in the engineroom on nordstrjernen queen elizabeth was leaving Stavanger 20 min before departure and i was crying the whole Day and i cry wen i see her.Why are you doing this?From Erlend 10 years old.
Stuart Lee no, there was just another ship named "Mauretania" not "Mauretania 2" it was the second ship to be called Mauretania but not the Mauretania 2
GoogleDoesEvil unfortunately they would most likely only make Titanic 2 because that’s the one everybody knows. I prefer the Olympic but the average person don’t even know it existed
You only pay extra in the Verandah Restaurant. Otherwise only the drinks cost money. At the Britannia Restaurant or the Buffet Restaurant or the pub, all food is included in your fare.
Whenever we went off the ship in a port we never had to pay anything. We might have been asked to pay for tender service if the QV had anchor in the bay.
Cunard need to build another Ocean Liner, If you said Cunard to a person back in the 1910's, 20's or 30's they'd be like "oh yeah, I love those guys" now if you ask someone about Cunard they're like "who's Cunard?". It's ships like QV, QE and the new one in 2022 that will kill Cunard. Ships like QM2, QE2 and all the great ocean liners that made Cunard famous
Lovely ship but a video made by Cunard with no budget expenses.....just a wobbly homemade handycam video. The advertising budget must be only 50 pence this year
Should've reshot the intro with the passenger climbing the stairs behind the presenter. It just says unprofessional & amateur. Not the impression you're wanting to give of a luxury & exclusive cruise liner.
The "Grand Lobby" looks like a kitschy shopping mall. Why do so many of the public rooms need to be so over lit ? Not a bad effort for a new ship but way, way below the golden age of the pre WW2 liners. Female mixologist? Give me a break! lol
The ship is getting old and boring for all 3 ships. Just came back from 16 days Cunard. It degraded a lot. food quality and quantity BAD, no lobster. especially at the Lido. Super short handed. It is at the Carnival cruise style. No dance host, no queens room Hostess, no sequence dance, no professional dancer exhibition, 8 kids running around in the dance floor while dancing, etc. will not recommend for this price (we are Diamond on Cunard, not a newbie)
Grey suite, reddish tie, white, brown pants, bit of a mismatch dressing there man, could of dressed better than that and your collar and tie should of been more presentable, just saying as this is a Cunard Line Video.
Nice, however, the lead up to that lovely queen Suite looked like the bowels of a submarine! I would have thought it would be more accessible and not so cramped.

the refit enhanced the beauty of Queen Victoria; looking forward to another cruise on this magnificent ship, in 2019.

Who's Been Waiting For This All Along
Francis is a great tour guide
Today (30th July 2017) I'm on the P&O Brittania and we've just left Southampton and I was on the balcony and I saw the queen Elizabeth.
Is my dream to travel in Cunard some time for a week.

can you show us a balcony suite?
she is a wonderful ship
My grandparents are going in queen Victoria and guess what suite they're in. 7150!! I'm also sure they will be very very happy with their room
I would love to go on the queen Mary 2 someday
Great video and lovely to see that it is not pretentious. Is it wood or plastic rails. Hope they are wooden.
Wooden rails...
I have another question, is the pool open all of the time??
Sir, is it possible to reserve a lifeboat solely for my family and me?
The thought of having to share one with steerage makes my supple skin crawl.
I would also appreciate it if some of the other lifeboats could be sabotaged so that we may escape while watching others panic.
Is it just me or did Francis seem on edge all the time?! 😂 The Guy behind the camera must be holding him hostage 😂
I never knew this was live
I honestly don’t blame him for panting while he walked up the stairs, I’ve been on the Ventura, and the stairs on that Ship were so steep! It also didn’t help that our cabin was on the highest but one deck!
ohh wow shes nice,I was in stavanger wen queen elizabeth was there and i was in the engineroom on mv nordsjernen and i saw the propells on queen elizabeth are in move.

Personally I prefer white star line but this video has changed me, I'm proud of all of Cunard
Sam The Random Guy well white star line doesn't exist anymore. Pitty isn't it?
Cunard took over white star lines a long long time ago.
You're killing me with the stairs.
I have a question. Was QM2 and QE refitted??
Awesome
We need a Mauretania 2 or a Lusitania 2, like if you agree :P
Champa There was a Mauritania 2!!
Stuart Lee no, there was just another ship named "Mauretania" not "Mauretania 2" it was the second ship to be called Mauretania but not the Mauretania 2

Why do you have to pay for meals and to get on and off the ship in port?
You only pay extra in the Verandah Restaurant. Otherwise only the drinks cost money. At the Britannia Restaurant or the Buffet Restaurant or the pub, all food is included in your fare.
Whenever we went off the ship in a port we never had to pay anything. We might have been asked to pay for tender service if the QV had anchor in the bay.

It's ships like QV, QE and the new one in 2022 that will kill Cunard. Ships like QM2, QE2 and all the great ocean liners that made Cunard famous
I am disabled. If aboard the BBC Queen Victoria, would I be able to walk around the ship?
Is this a home video...
Mat Nov it must be a big house! :)
Lovely ship but a video made by Cunard with no budget expenses.....just a wobbly homemade handycam video. The advertising budget must be only 50 pence this year
I enjoyed the video and look forward to meeting our presenter; Queen Victoria will fit the bill for our next cruise. 73r
Actually if you watch the QM2 introdution its quite impressive
What happened to Rachel Pierman !!!
Mauritania 2, Lusitania 2 and aqautania 2!!!
Do your top button up under that tie!
Should've reshot the intro with the passenger climbing the stairs behind the presenter. It just says unprofessional & amateur. Not the impression you're wanting to give of a luxury & exclusive cruise liner.
Is the Capt in his PJs?!
Yes, camera man was shaky. But the host did a good job.
Your camera has been out of focus this whole video and it hasn't been Crystal clear
Nice energy, but please shine your shoes, see a tailor, and find your correct collar size--the ship demands more effort.
Comments like yours make me confirm i am watching the beginning of the end of an era of this type of Cruise ships journey. Fortunately.
You learn to appreciate finer things, and recognize true effort, as you get older.
Donald Ginn judging also.
Yes. Judgement comes with age.
Donald Ginn don't be a so bitter person.
hi
nice ship but the video was so bad I gave up at 8:20 after he stumbled on the chair.
Nobody is perfect. He is human, just like you.
The "Grand Lobby" looks like a kitschy shopping mall. Why do so many of the public rooms need to be so over lit ? Not a bad effort for a new ship but way, way below the golden age of the pre WW2 liners. Female mixologist? Give me a break! lol
Captain Camp
Very poor video quality; shaky and soft come on Cunard!
Who Cares. Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary II, Queen Victoria are the beginning of the end of an era of this type of journeys.
The ship is getting old and boring for all 3 ships. Just came back from 16 days Cunard. It degraded a lot. food quality and quantity BAD, no lobster. especially at the Lido. Super short handed. It is at the Carnival cruise style. No dance host, no queens room Hostess, no sequence dance, no professional dancer exhibition, 8 kids running around in the dance floor while dancing, etc. will not recommend for this price (we are Diamond on Cunard, not a newbie)
Grey suite, reddish tie, white, brown pants, bit of a mismatch dressing there man, could of dressed better than that and your collar and tie should of been more presentable, just saying as this is a Cunard Line Video.
Is this a fake? Cunard should take this video down. It’s a terrible example as Cunard products. Bad sound poorly dressed host I could go on and on.
Thank you for the information, but couldn't you have dressed better?
Oh, come on. Who Cares.
The presenter should have put on some decent clothes and shoes - just saying
Very unprofessional shaky video. I gave up watching and we are due onboard in a few weeks
I think it was too long
OMG - this video is so poorly presented !!!
Nice, however, the lead up to that lovely queen Suite looked like the bowels of a submarine! I would have thought it would be more accessible and not so cramped.
Francis is a good tour guide
