I love your videos such a great couple. Always look forward to them. You should have # Cunard # Queen Mary # Fabulous etc so you get more people watching because they should you guys are wonderful x
Thank you Michael, that is so kind :) It would be fantastic if more people could find us, and we are getting ever nearer that magic 1000 subscribers that RUclips likes so much, and we will try Hash Tagging up our social a little more to try and let more people know we are here. But in the meantime, we love the community that we are growing, and thank you for being such a big part of it. Linzi & Mark
"Old Speckled Hen Gluten Free Beer?" I see this on the menu at 15:37, and being a Celiac, I'm both excited and surprised to see that. Thanks for such a thorough review that allowed me to catch a glimpse of that. Love your videos guys, and I am subscribing.
I’ve only just discovered your channel and I have to say that it’s now my favourite! I’m trying to get my cruise sceptic husband on a Cunard cruise to the fjords this summer and I need a brilliant review to show and convince him that he’ll love it. Wish me luck! I just love what you wear Linzi. Throughout the video I wanted to know where you got your clothes from!
Awww thank you Brigitte that is so kind and welcome to the channel 😀 We were the same on Cunard (Mark in particular) as the thought of having to dress up every night formally or wear ties and such was bit off putting or that it might be too formal or stuffy. But as you will have seen it was far from it and we can't wait to go on QM2 to the Fjords at the back end of August this year. Until you go on that first cruise ta really hard to convince a sceptic to try it. We were both sceptics. Really we were. And now look at us... 🤣 The thing that many love about cruising is you do it your way. If you want a full on activities packed time you can do it, if you want to eat and drink fine food and wine, you can do that and if you just want to relax and lay around a pool all day and do nothing that is there too. If you are interested Brigitte we have a Facebook group and many of the community will tell you they had the same challange with their partners too. Until they tried it. Finally, clothes mainly from Joe Brown's, Johanna Hope and Monsoon. But basically if there is a sale on we are checking it out 😀 Have a lovely weekend, Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured Thank you for your lovely reply. If I can twist my husbands arm hard enough we might be on the same cruise as you! Thank you for the heads up on the Facebook page, I’ll definitely join and about where you by your clothes. Can’t wait to get the chance to dress up. My husband will need a bit more persuading to do so! xx
Love your content would love to see a celebrity review thanks for taking us along we are going on our first cruise and real vacation ever we are both workaholics but it is time to enjoy life.
Hi Kelly. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We are on Celebrity Apex this November 5th, so you will definitely see lots of Celebrity content from the first Sunday after that. We have been on Celebrity before and loved it but it was before we started the channel so don't have anything to share from it, which is a shame. Welcome.to.the world of cruising, and make sure you enjoy the vacation, you sound like you have definitely earned it. If you've not done already Kelly please consider joining our Facebook Group. There's some lovely people on their who will help you out with any first timer cruiser questions. Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
Loved your video - I have no problem with it being posh - Hyacinth Bucket is my hero - however, my husband is less of a fan of posh so this was great to see that you had a wonderful time and had such great content to share on your cabin, the food and drinks, and the shipboard experience.
Thanks for watching Pamela, we are so pleased you enjoyed it. We suspect that your Husband is like Mark then, who is not a massive fan of dressing up either, but actually, we both really enjoyed Cunard, and that part of it, far more than expected, and who doesn't like a bit of Hyacinth Bucket 😀 There is still more Cunard content to come from Queen Elizabeth too, so keep an eye out. Thanks again, Linzi & Mark
I really enjoyed your review! We’re booked on QE this summer so will see how many use the sports area then. We’ve done the grills, which is a real treat!
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed it. Oh do please let us know how popular the sports area is in good weather as we are genuinely curious to find out. And we suspect that we will give the grills a go on Queen Anne when she launches and give ourselves a little extra treat. Again thanks for watching and taking the time to comment / chat with us. Linzi and Mark
Hey Linzi and Mark. yet again, a lovely vlog about your splendorous cruise. It all sounded a wonderful experience. I hope you are well, and cant wait for your valiant lady blogs, which I am sure will be very soon. :-). take care...Terry x
Thank you Terry, we still have more Cunard stories to tell yet, but as you suspected, there will be a run of Valiant Lady vlogs for the next few weeks as we board her this Friday, and we are so excited. Thanks as always for watching our stuff, and for your lovely comments. Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured aww, im not surprised you are excited - so you should be, I have to tell you, I am very jealous :-). Im so looking forward to this, as it will inform me for my cruise with them in July. Also, Lucy, from cruising as crew from RUclips is now on board the valiant lady in the Sunglasses hut shop! I would love to send you a small monetary gift to treat yourself to a drink on me, but would need your PayPal or something so I cans end it - but totally understand if you dont want to send details. Have the most fabulous time you two wonderful peeps - Terry x
@@LowVisionUKTerrysView Terry that is incredibly kind, and in person, on a cruise sometime we will hold you to this. But we would feel wrong taking it from you directly; in the future we might end up with a Patreon or something (a LONG way in the future), and then by all means if you still felt that you wanted to help our cocktail fund we would appreciate that. However the main reason for declining your incredibly lovely offer is that on this particular cruise, we already have the Bar Tab of $300 plus a bonus $125, so $425 for a three night cruise!!!!! So we both have to average $70 a day each. And the bar tab you can only use on drinks, so we already have our work cut out without you adding further to the beating our liver is going to take this week 🤣 Although I am sure some more expensive fizz could help the balance go down quicker. We will report back. We will make sure to pop in and say Hi to Lucy on your behalf (and ours). We will get the first one up on Sunday this week, hopefully at the usual time (subject to ship WiFi for uploading). Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured OMG... thats a very nice Bar tab haha. I seriously am willing Sunday to come quickly now so that I can see your vlog. You are going to have the most amazing three days for sure. And, when you have your pattern etc, I will absolutely contribute to the cocktail fund - you guys are amazing, and I love listening to you both, and hearing all about your amazing adventures, and of course your very helpful content. Have a blast, and hear from you soon...bon voyage, and AHOY sailors :-) x x
@@LowVisionUKTerrysView Ahoy Terry :) We cannot wait to share all the Virgin content, and again thank you, your comments always make us smile, and want to make even more content. Linzi & Mark
Haha. Great stuff. The Portuguese custard tarts are called Pastel de Nata.... love em! They originate from a shop called Pasteis de Belem in Belem, just outside Lisbon's centre, which started up in 1837. The originals are definitely the best in my opinion, but the runner up goes to Manteigaria and then Fábrica da Nata, both are more recently opened and are chains throughout Lisbon. You're making me hungry just talking about them!
Thanks for the tip in Belem. We are stopping in Lisbon on a cruise this November so we will be sure to visit. We just bought some Pastel De Nata at the supermarket (by coincidence) this morning. Nowhere near as good, but commute to supermarket was far quicker than trip to Lisbon this morning 🤣 Linzi and Mark
I think staying with Britannia is a good idea. I have never felt the need to upgrade to Grills. My idea is spend any extra money on more exotic itineraries and Cunard do a wider range than many. If I wanted to travel wider on a budget I should book Princess.
Thank you Keith. We are defo considering grills on the new Queen Anne but then again we had such a great experience in Britannia would it really be worth it. As you said we could spend that money on a different itinerary or more cruises. Linzi and Mark
Hi Mark and Linzi, I believe that Ben and David from Cruising With Ben and David might (not 100% sure) be on your upcoming cruise on Virgin, you might want to see if you can meet up with them, they are very funny and I think you four would have a good time. Bon Voyage. Cheers, Steve
Hi Steve, We'd not heard that they were on Valiant specifically, but there are quite a lot of vloggers on there, so hopefully we can catch up with a few. We've been subscribers of Ben & David for ages (back in the Honest Cruising days), and we will absolutely say "hi" if they are on the ship as we agree they are funny, and come across really genuinely nice people. We've not really seen many other vloggers when we've been on ships up to now, Rich & Helen from Visit With Us were on Scarlet last year (you can see them on our food video sat at the end of our bench in Test Kitchen), and Gary Bembridge was on Regal Princess at the same time, but as we hadn't even started the channel at that point (officially at least), we just kind of nodded, and said "hi" in passing. Linzi & Mark
I think of anyone to approach and strike up a conversation it would be with them. I see they have posted, "2 days to go" which would coincide with your trip with Virgin (I believe). Have a great time and send more videos. Cheers, Steve
@@SuiteNatured Whoa! You saw us on Scarlet Lady? We'd have DEFINITELY said a big hello! :D We obviously didn't know you were Suite Natured at the time otherwise we'd have recognised you and said hello! :D
@@visitwithus Technically at the time of Scarlet no-one knew we were Suite Natured as we were filming our first channel stuff at the time. Lol. We would absolutely come up and say a big hello to you too now though. Linzi & Mark
@@SuiteNatured Please do! Actually now we know who you are, we'll definitely not hesitate. Your videos are so entertaining and you interact so sweetly with each other. Great chemistry and that comes across wonderfully. :D
Hi there. Loved your review. We are traveling on the 29th of August on the ship and are looking forward to it. One thing I cannot seem to find however is an option anywhere on the Cunard website where you can select your Dining time and the size of table you prefer to sit at, options which were available to us when we cruised with Royal Caribean and Costa in the past. I've managed to do everything else and downloaded e-tickets etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi Dominic, to our knowledge there is no where to reserve table size or time before you cruise. However in all the three main restaurants (Britannia, Princess and Queens depending where you are staying) In the evening, you can dine at any time between 6.30pm and 9.00pm and the first time you go they will ask you if you want a table for just your party or you want to be on a shared table. Hope this helps and have an amazing cruise in a few weeks. And sorry for delayed reply we’ve just got off Enchanted Princess today so just catching up. Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured Thanks, guys. That's good to know I really wasn't sure as with Costa and RC, you are asked when you book which dining time and table size you would prefer. We've also cruised with Norwegian and their Freestyle Dining didn't really suit as we like to get to know our fellow table cruisers and on the Epic we normally ended up sitting on our own.
Hi it's the Canucks again!!! Sorry to bother you yet again...we booked!Going on Mediterranean on Aug 22!! Can you , please, tell me ..during the sea days if we go to the pool can my husband wear shorts ( to the knee..not really short ones) It's August so I guess it is quite warm ! Lunch at the buffet can he wear them too? I am so very appreciative of your time! Thanking you 🤗💖
Hi, no bother at all :) and fantastic. August in the Med will definitely not be chilly :) During the day you can absolutely wear shorts around the ship. Although you need to wear a top too when inside but out by the pool, you wear what you would at any pool. When you are going into the buffet in the day time we saw plenty of people in shorts (again with a top and shoes). In the buffet it does need to be dry shorts though rather than swim wear. Hope this helps. Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured Thank you!!! Thank you!!! My husband is relieved that he doesn't have to ware long pants to go to the pool !! You are wonderful to take the time to answer! Sending a big hug!!🤗🤗❤❤
Hi Lisa, if you check on the My Cunard App/Website, it should list your theme nights, if you are travelling within the next six months. Hope this helps. Linzi and Mark
Hi!!! Such wonderful video!!! Thanks!! We are planning to cruise the Mediterranean on Cunard in September .can you please tell me is water , coffee available free? We are not buying the drink package , we are not big drinkers, we like good wine....do you know if we buy a bottle of wine do we have to finished all ? Or have it on 2dinners? Thanks a million !!!!
Hi Frank, thank you we are glad you enjoyed it. The Med in September on Cunard will be amazing. Should be near perfect weather, not as extreme as in August but perfect for sitting out with a nice glass of wine watching the world go by. On your question, still water is available in lots of places free of charge. In the buffet area there are hot non speciality coffees and teas for free as well as juices and water. And on the wine, no you don't have to drink it in one go. They will store it for you and bring it to your next meal or on request or you can take back to you cabin and have a drink there if you wanted too. Hope this helps, and have an amazing cruise in September. Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark
Hi, on Cunard they didn't charge for room service at all. Which is a very nice that it is included in the fare, very few cruise lines seem to do that, unless you are in a suite category. Linzi & Mark
@@GlobalAdventurer Hi! I always order plenty of breakfasts through room service when I'm on a Cunard ship. They're always delivered hot and tasty! I love their hot chocolate!
Thanks Shirley, and as if by amazing coincidence, our latest video that goes up tonight (full cunard ship tour) at 5pm GMT, we talk about doing wanting to try QM2. We've never massively suffered from Seasickness (only three times in all our cruising) it just got a lot of people on this cruise across th bay of biscay. It wasn't like we really needed an excuse to try QM2 but now you given us another :) Obviosuly purely for research purposes 😉 Linzi & Mark
Really Linzi ... balls deep ... hilarious 😂. I normally view videos while my wife is watching TV, I use headphones as not to bother her but when you or Mark come out with these things and I start laughing out loud she thinks I'm nuts. Looking forward to you next video. Cheers, Steve
We love Princess too Michael and there are many similarities between both lines but a few differences too. We always knew that lines such as Celebrity and Princess were very similar but we wouldn't (prior to sailing) have put Cunard as being that close. Biggest similarities for us were the food, drink and services, and biggest difference would be the bed! We love the Princess bed and no other cruise line has got close yet. We are sure you'll love your QE experience. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment too. Linzi & Mark
We are not going to try and defend them Yvan. Cruise lines seem to their best to move forward with a much more environmentally sound fleets, and the newer Liquid Gas ships are a big step forward, but there is still a massive amount to do. Linzi & Mark

You know how it is Steve. When you have as many shaken or stirred cocktails as us then we are bound to attract the odd superstar 😂 Linzi and Mark
Oh, my mistake. On closer look it was Mark standing next to you, in his tux he just looks like Daniel Craig. 👍
It was indeed a lesser spotted tuxed Mark ;) Linzi & Mark
Really Linzi ... balls deep ... hilarious 😂. I normally view videos while my wife is watching TV, I use headphones as not to bother her but when you or Mark come out with these things and I start laughing out loud she thinks I'm nuts. Looking forward to you next video.
Cheers,
Steve
@@stevehattrick1946 Erm. Let's blame our consumer testing of the cocktails prior to filming that bit. 🤣 Linzi and Mark
I usually go on princess but trying queen elizabeth in may. Looks a little better than princess but i am curious.
We love Princess too Michael and there are many similarities between both lines but a few differences too. We always knew that lines such as Celebrity and Princess were very similar but we wouldn't (prior to sailing) have put Cunard as being that close. Biggest similarities for us were the food, drink and services, and biggest difference would be the bed! We love the Princess bed and no other cruise line has got close yet. We are sure you'll love your QE experience. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment too. Linzi & Mark
Always go balls deep.
😂😊 it’s the only way to go 🤣
From a climate change perspective, going on a cruise ship is one of the worst holidays that you can take.
We are not going to try and defend them Yvan. Cruise lines seem to their best to move forward with a much more environmentally sound fleets, and the newer Liquid Gas ships are a big step forward, but there is still a massive amount to do. Linzi & Mark
