    Loved this overview! As someone in his early 30s, I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed my time on QM2 - what a beautiful experience from start to finish!

    I did a Westbound Crossing about a month ago. As a solo traveler, I opted for fixed dining. Same people every night. I usually went to the solo traveler met ups after breakfast, about a dozen or so regulars. 3 Guest Speakers I went to see, A lady from Woods Hole, a retired US Ambassador and Stephen Payne, designer of QM2. Having done it once, now I understand meeting people on board who were doing their fifth or sixth crossing

      Good for you doing the meet ups! I was curious about that but didn’t attempt it. There is a fair amount of return cruisers and I can see why! Thanks for watching!

    We did round trip TA from UK. Loved the experience although we have sailed on her to Norway a few times. We too sailed Deck 8 and plan to repeat our experience during 2027, sailing Queen’s Grill ❤

    A week today I'll be boarding QM2 for my sixteenth voyage on board her (twenty with Cunard on four ships). I can't wait. To say I love this vessel, the only Ocean Liner in the world still in service, is a vast understatement.
    I first crossed the Atlantic in 2006 on board QM2, my first time with Cunard... intended as a one-time sailing.
    Was I wrong!

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel

      That is amazing! I would imagine if you stepped onto QM2 and experienced the service and wonderful programs awhile ago, it would be hard to switch to anything else! I did appreciate their fine touches! ( the afternoon tea is so fun!). Thanks for the insight. Happy Cruising!

      It will be fun! It is hard to realize you are piloting your own fun but you will get use to it and enjoy it! Content ups if you are interested in meeting people traveling solo! Have a great time! ☀️🚢

      Nice! It’s good to experience the elegance and tradition of Cunard. It was so British and enjoyable! Enjoy your cruise!🚢

    Do they have tv programs or just about the queen mary

    • @dl11950
      @dl11950 2 месяца назад

      There are several live satellite channels (mostly news) , movie channels (including French and Japanese on my October sailing) , replay of the 'insights' lectures and a live bridge camera.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  2 месяца назад

      They have their own channel as well as movies and other shows. I didn’t really watch tv but I know there is a selection.

    “Don’t be intimidated” ? If you are feeling that way then clearly you’re the wrong person to be a passenger on QM2. 😂😂

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  3 дня назад

      🤣 it’s the unknown and it maybe be a ship they haven’t considered, so If it sounds like something they would like after my video, I hope they try it! Thanks for watching! You have a good point! 😊

    I was on that sailing. Too many old people. But i got across the pond which was my goal. So it served it's purpose.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  Месяц назад

      It was an older crowd but not entirely! I saw younger people mainly with other friends or relatives. Lots of interesting people at any rate! It was a nice experience for me personally! Happy travels!

    • @martynmiller4247
      @martynmiller4247 Месяц назад +1

      Guess where you're going... yes... old person in just a few years (it happens far quicker than you can imagine). Let's hope no-one young complains about you.

    • @GlobalAdventurer
      @GlobalAdventurer Месяц назад

      @martynmiller4247 I'm already older. That's not the point. The people acted like they were in an old folks home, especially the Carintha lounge. I went in there once and did a bee turn. Anyone that doesn't think that are the ones who are just like that. Most look like they should be in rehab instead of sitting and eating all day.

      I guess only older people have the good taste to travel on this amazing ocean liner QE II ,definitely not for the noisy crowds !

    • @GlobalAdventurer
      @GlobalAdventurer 24 дня назад

      @adelaferreira4575 Definitely not for noisy passengers and that's why I sailed on it (QM2).
