You know, a lot of travel channels that end up bringing in their SO tend to feel forced, but you two have such chemistry! It feels like Suzanne has been a (onscreen) part of the channel the whole time!
@@UlliStein Honestly, we've had dark and brooding Daniel Craig as James Bond, let's try fish-out-of-water, eternal optimist, imported American Jeb Brooks as James Bond for the next film.
Like always, you guys never disappoint. What I love about your videos is that it is more about the travel experience and tips, rather than a narcissistic luxury show off.Thanks
Cunard was always a step above any cruise ship. no cutsey themed voyages here. This is how the other half lives. I'm glad you & Suzanne can enjoy these adventures.
The reason why it is called the Drawing Room, is that the posher classes, when they were having dinner parties, when they finished eating, they would withdraw to another room, where they would relax. Overtime, Withdrawing Room, was shortened to Drawing Room.
Back in the mid-70's we had friends going on a cruise to Bermuda out of New York City. They invited us to the sail-away. In those days we were allowed to go on the ship to look around with them, were given champagne to drink as we walked around, then bells rang to tell us guests it was time to leave. We waited on the dock and our friends went to the rail where we all waved until they were too far away. It was a blast. I always wanted to go on a cruise, but my husband was more interested in road trips. Can't fault the trips we did make on trains though, some routes Jeb has featured.
Amazing video, Jeb and Suzanne!! Thank you so much for taking the time to film and produce this film for us to enjoy! It looks like you two had an amazing time on that cruise. A lot of us cannot afford to take a vacation like that, so it helps us see what we are missing! God bless both of you
Watching this channel over the last few years I love how humble and excited you are for new adventures. Keep up the great videos! See you in the skies!
Teatime is also about the experience. Years ago, I worked with a French company and we always had a 15 minute espresso break in the afternoon. I always enjoyed it. We took the time to talk about our home lives and it was interesting hearing how people in other parts of the world lived.
Cool quick trip on a great ship! Not a fan of the "formal dress" requirement, but Suzanne was rockin that "old thing". Haha. Yeah, ok Jeb looked good too...haha.
I think you’re wearing a LF traveler! Can’t think of an apt luxury watch to go along with the luxury experience. High horology heavy hitter! I’m still waiting for the “Jeb Brooks Watches” channel!
Jeb! Can't believe it, but we were on the same cruise as you! We just got off on July 28th - we spent a total of 51 nights onboard Queen Anne. We did the Maiden Voyage in early May, and wanted a bit more - so opted for a longer cruise - so did four back to backs. We're long time viewers, but our first time commenting. Unfortunately we didn't get to see you on this trip, but we're very much looking forward to seeing your thoughts on what we think is a brilliant introduction to the Cunard fleet!
There are so many travel shows on YT. A lot of them are good. A lot of them are wonderful: I can honestly say you are one of my favorite channels. You two are such a great team. Jeb, You got good taste. Susan: YOU GO GIRL!!!! Such a Smart Woman
Watch spotting on Jeb Brooks - couldn't ID it for a while, but Jeb had a Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveler, and briefly had another watch on with bracelet which I couldn't get a good look at. I think Suzanne has a classic Oyster Perpetual in Silver dial. Living my dream, haha
💛💛💛 Thanks for including floor plans! The bathroom in your suite is beautiful! The lobby looks like the lobby from one of the newer Japanese Ferry Ships! You both look amazing!! It suits you!!
I'd definitely hit up the buffet for breakfast at least once; wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! A mid level restaurant for lunch, and then fine dining for dinner!
@@Rekuzan I just love the variety.. Most serve a combo of breakfast, lunch and dinner 24/7.. it's not always about pancakes and sausage in the morning.. Sometimes a taco bar is what I need in the morning, especially after a night of drinking..🤭
Hey guys, really happy to see you guys thoroughly enjoying your life together. Cheers to you, and your continued success, which brings you your fabulous enjoyable lives! Thanks for the clip
I would love to see you guys on the opposite end of the spectrum just to hear the commentary. Please review a Carnival Cruise, or Margaritaville at Sea or something. It would be amazing.
Love Cunard ships, we usually go on the Victoria, but the Anne is on the list so this was interesting. Funnily enough we went on the old QE2 a few times and then in 2007 on the then new Mary. The comment about bedding in rings true because I didn't love that trip, but 3 years later loved the Mary and it felt more homely! Just discovered this channel, love it!!
By just visiting Dunottar Castle in Scotland I learned what a Drawing Room is - a room you can withdraw to to relax and get away. Thank you so much for your RUclips Chanel🙏
Nobody does pomp and circumstance like the British, even aboard a modern passenger liner. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I have great respect for their protocol and ceremony. Good on you, Cunard Line!
I gotta say, it irks me that even in Queens Grill you have to pay for drinks. The price you pay in those suites and you can't even get a beer at lunch?
LOVE this! I'll be onboard Queen Anne in a few weeks, but unfortunately I won't be staying in a Penthouse suite, ha! Thanks for sharing this with us - it's helped me start planning what to do on there!
I use to work about Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. We were docked in Southampton. I spent 14 months sailing in and out of there. Oh how I miss those days.
Mr. Jeb. Looks as if our losing weight. You look fantastic. Hard day at work in the medical field. Needed you to say, "come on in", "were taking you, Justin, along." Thanks!
My husband and I took the QE2 from New York to England and the Concord back, obviously many years ago. I know we had a suite, but I do not remember which. It was a great trip. A drawing room is a formal room where one entertains guests. I notice the guests on your ship are much younger than on our trip. I think we were the youngest, but now we would fit right in.
Loved this episode! I have an upcoming voyage on the Queen Anne (UK > Canary Islands > Portugal > UK), and I’m so excited. This will be my third cruise with Cunard-my goal is to experience each of their ships! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Drawing room is a living room. I heard it from the grapevine that it was originally the "Withdrawing room" where the ladies will withdraw to, after a dinner, whilst the men stayed back, with their post-meal alcohol in hand, and indulge in some "men talk"
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the blooper reels are one of my favorite parts. "What are you doing, is your tongue ok?" had me laughing. 😂 Also, that's a very decent price considering the luxurious room, the exquisite food (that 28-day aged steak looked amazing!) and the onboard activities.
You guys always have the fun👍 I give you both credit. Stuck on a boat all day with meals and the ocean views which does get boring can be lame. Nothing beats stretching one’s legs in a foreign place meeting the natives and different places with a rental car as well as one night accommodations in a hotel
My friends, Lee & Bill (Ritzy Travel Guide), just took the Queen Anne a few weeks ago. They are going to Royal Ascot with me next year and possibly the Queen Mary 2. Fun fact, Queen Anne was the one who started Royal Ascot in 1710.
Great video we sail her 2026 on same cruise. We have paid just £378 with our travel agents discount for an inside room an absolute steel. This will be just 1 of 4 Cunard cruises for us in 2026 😁
We sail QM2 in 20 days round trip 30 nights British Isles voyage. You put it on our radar screen! Love the two of you together so much. Best travel channel on YT!
Thanks for another great review, you both give such balanced points of view and really enjoy your videos. Queen Anne looks beautiful on the inside, just not so great from the outside. But I'd happily cruise on her.
Much to like about Cunard but the extensive activities programme is one of the things that grabs me. The beer is cheaper than what you'd pay in a London pub.
What an amazing trip! Seems you folks were pretty busy documenting everything (for us), however. Hope you get to stay longer next time! LOVE the food pics as always.

SO?
@@francisbtubeSignificant Other
The name is Brooks. Jeb Brooks. 0:02
So sad he is not British so that role will not be for him :-((((
@@UlliStein Honestly, we've had dark and brooding Daniel Craig as James Bond, let's try fish-out-of-water, eternal optimist, imported American Jeb Brooks as James Bond for the next film.
Omg.. you guys looked gorgeous in your formal attire.
Or Jeb HENDRY 😂😂😂
U eat cottage cheese
You just gotta appreciate the work Jeb and Suzanne put into their videos. Just amazing! So entertaining and fun! Thanks!🤩👌
Glad you like them! Thank you!
@@GreenerGrasslove you both!
Like always, you guys never disappoint. What I love about your videos is that it is more about the travel experience and tips, rather than a narcissistic luxury show off.Thanks
The nautical term for the front of the ship is "The Pointy End".
Will work that terminology in next time🤣
And the back of the ship is ‘The Blunt End’.
..........got a chuckle out of your comment for the front of a cruise ship being 'the pointy end'. Good one!! :)
@@egpx Sometimes known as the ass end.
I think it is called the bow and the stern
Come for Jeb and Suzanne’s always genial travel commentary, stay for Jeb correctly saying Concorde without the definite article “the.”
Too bad he couldn't pronounce "Cunard" correctly.
You’re gonna need to create a Jeb’s cruise score for all your cruise travels now!
Gotta love that “new ship smell.”
Yeah, it's called formaldehyde 😂
Cunard was always a step above any cruise ship. no cutsey themed voyages here. This is how the other half lives. I'm glad you & Suzanne can enjoy these adventures.
So happy to see another Cunard video!!!
Love your videos Jeb! They're always so positive and make me want to travel more!
Thank you! Go for it!
That was an exceptional version of the Brandenburg Concerto but the trio of violinists. I do love knowing someone is enjoying such opulence.
The reason why it is called the Drawing Room, is that the posher classes, when they were having dinner parties, when they finished eating, they would withdraw to another room, where they would relax. Overtime, Withdrawing Room, was shortened to Drawing Room.
Wonderful adventure Jeb. Thank you for taking me along. Love you guys. ❤

A drawing room is a comfortable room that you would withdraw to after a meal in the dining room
I didn’t know that - thanks for the info!
It was originally called The Withdrawing Room in the UK in Victoria's reign.
Another great vid - thanks Jeb and Suzanne!
As always very well produced. On the Queen Anne soon. Thanks for sharing
Have a great trip!!
@@GreenerGrass Thank you
Huge fan of afternoon tea! I am glad Jeb discovered Scones with clotted cream and preserves/jam. 😆

The both of you looked fantastic for Gala Night! Jeb, quite dapper and Suzanne, stunning! I am happy you had such fun!
Thank you!
Its always a good day when Jeb Brooks uploads🗿 6:23 idk why but Suzanne was looking fine in that outfit
How I would love to go on a Cunard ship. Highly enjoyable video Jeb and Suzanne.
Watching this channel over the last few years I love how humble and excited you are for new adventures. Keep up the great videos!
See you in the skies!
When I saw you in your tux, all I could think was, "The name's Brooks, Jeb Brooks."
Thank you Jeb and Susane ,I enjoyed it all on Gala Night you 2 look good together as always,I loved the bloopers,thank you for the smiles!
Really enjoyed this deluxe cruise along with the fun, informative telling!
You guys are so much fun to watch together, thanks for taking us along on your adventure 😊
Suzanne's speed walking form at 11:55 is impeccable.
Teatime is also about the experience. Years ago, I worked with a French company and we always had a 15 minute espresso break in the afternoon. I always enjoyed it. We took the time to talk about our home lives and it was interesting hearing how people in other parts of the world lived.
9:29 fun fact, drawing room is short for withdrawing room and is usually a room reserved for guests to relax in, usually after dinner :)
Sorry if I’m late, but huge congrats for getting past 800,000 subs
Cool quick trip on a great ship! Not a fan of the "formal dress" requirement, but Suzanne was rockin that "old thing". Haha. Yeah, ok Jeb looked good too...haha.
Always a fantastic day when there’s a new Jeb Brooks upload ✨🥂
I have to say.... because I think I said it before .... When you two are dressed to the 9's. YOU LOOK MARVELOUS! JUST MARVELOUS!
Queen Anne looks lovely 😊 I’m hoping Cunard makes another ocean liner similar to Queen Mary 2 ❤
I think you’re wearing a LF traveler! Can’t think of an apt luxury watch to go along with the luxury experience. High horology heavy hitter! I’m still waiting for the “Jeb Brooks Watches” channel!

P.S. I'm going on a MSC cruise soon, you should try it!
I'd definitely hit up the buffet for breakfast at least once; wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! A mid level restaurant for lunch, and then fine dining for dinner!
I get the concept of sit-down fine dining, but it would only be a buffet for me.. Those tiny portions are such a turn-off..😂
@@edreid7872 That's why you dine early and then hit the buffet after; yaknow, before it closes!!!
@@edreid7872 On a week long cruise, would DEFINTELY be there daily!!!

19:55 absolute highlight 😁 formal dress and slamming the snacks in 😂
That Tux was TUXING!!! Very Dapper and of course Suzanne looked amazing!
Thank you!
Hi Mr and Mrs Brooks you looked like beautiful dolls on your cruise😂😂😂
As a cruiser, I'm so happy to see Jeb and Suzanne dive into this industry! Woo!!
Another great video. Thanks Jeb!

It's fun seeing the differences and the similarities between the Queen Anne and her sister ships that sail for Holland America Line.
Queen Anne also has a female captain, Inger Klein Thorhauge.
Can't wait for you to review ELAL 787 dremliner
