An 8-Night Transatlantic Crossing on the Queen Mary 2 for the first time: What was it like?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2024
- I took an 8-night crossing on Cunard Cruise Line's Queen Mary 2 from New York to Southampton, England. It was my first time ever on the Queen Mary 2. In this video, I recap what the Eastbound Transatlantic was like, and what to expect cruising with Cunard upon the Queen Mary 2.
I will share information about the Transatlantic weather, the Cunard dress code, all of the activities available on the QM2, and more. The Queen Mary 2 is a very unique experience, so please tune in! Are YOU planning a crossing on the QM2? If so, please leave a comment and tell us when you're going!
Stay tuned until the end for a word about the dress code as well as what this trip meant to me, personally!

Hi everyone, just a note… I did make a mistake in this video and identified our dining room as the Britannia Club. In reality, it was just the Britannia restaurant. Apologies!
It's alright...you misgendered the Dining room lol. It looks like using the verb "to identify" is really mandatory in any sentence nowadays, together with the words resilience or sustainable 😂
THANK YOU very much for your wonderful video!!! I will be doing a double Transatlantic in two days (Southampton-NYC-Southampton on - Oct 17 ALSO in a Sheltered Balcony stateroom mid ships. ANY advice you can give me would be wonderful!!!!
@@merseywhogirl3430 sounds amazing! Relax and enjoy! Take advantage of free room service breakfast! Check out the chart room and the Carinthia lounge, great places to spend the day. Bring a book, check out activities, check out the shows!
My sister and I went from NY to England as she discovered she could take her dog and it would not have to go into quarantine on arrival. The Kennel area was great and the staff so friendly both to dogs and their humans. One could visit and walk their dogs. Single Cat Ladies may bring their cats! We all loved it! 🥰🐈
@@mariellouise1 super!
How long do they let you visit your dogs?
Guys, don't forget this is the last LINER in te world, made for fast transatlantic crossings, with a pointed hull instead of a flat hull like all cruise ships. The other liner that went out of commission was the Norway which used to be the SS France. Luckily I was on both ships, as as kid when my parents worked on the SS France in 1976 and as an adult when I worked on the QM2 in 2012-13. Fantastic ship, timeless with it's art deco styling.
Amazing! Great information, too. Thank you so much for sharing!
After 30 years of teaching in a public school, I feel like I deserve a trip like this! The hell with saving for the future, I’m gonna have a splurge on the QM2! See you there, very soon!
Good on you, sir!
Tomorrow is promised to no one. Save up and go on that cruise! 😄
The fact that there is a library says it all.
Which as a bibliophile, is great!
@@mehitabel6564 Yes, and in two days I'm doing a double transatlantic embarking in Southampton on this beautiful ocean liner in a mid ship balcony stateroom!! OMG I am SO excited!!!
@merseywhogirl3430 that sounds wonderful! Happy travels!
After working for a few years in America, retirement came along, and we were back home to Yorkshire in the UK. We sailed out of New York on the QE2. My wife and I wondered whether eight days at sea might be boring. We could not have been more wrong. It was like a four-star hotel with endless entertainment.
@@tomarmstrong1281 a great description! 😀
Love Yorkshire! I lived just outside of Knaresborough on an old country estate in the Gamekeeper’s Cottage. Loved every minute & every mile of Yorkshire.
@@markb8954 God's own county!
This is the kind of trip I wanted to take with my Mom, but she passed in 2015. So to see you with your family, gave me a warm feeling inside! Mom would have loved that afternoon tea, and room service breakfast! Thankyou for sharing!
I am so sorry for your loss! So glad the video gave you a warm feeling. And yes, so grateful I got to take my mom on such a special trip. She adored the afternoon tea!
@@SheSailsAway Thankyou! Also subscribed!
@@SheSailsAway I was so lucky to be able to take my 88-year-old mother on the QE2 round trip from NYC in 2002. I think it was her trip of a lifetime, although she’d been on many with me. The refined formality on board was so much more her style than mine, but we both totally enjoyed both crossings.
@susanpierres2441 sounds like wonderful, special memories. We have ours now, too. Thank you for sharing 😊
My Mom passed last month at 85. Unfortunately after my father died she was never interested in travel.
That was one of the best reviews I have a seen of a cruise ship it was comprehensive and your voice is nice and soft … well done 👍
@@neilsbaker9790 thank you 😊
Yes Neil I agree about her voice, lovely !
I don't fly so I'll be taking the QM2 to Europe for a 2.5 month stay, where I will travel to London, Paris, Belgium, Monaco, and a Mediterranean cruise. Then I'll sail home on her!
@@Cruise_227 that sounds amazing!
@@SheSailsAway Yes I can't wait. A good friend of mine is coming as well. The price of things in Europe is a really great value!
Very,very nice !! 👌 👏👏2.5 months !? WOW !! 😮😍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🛳💕💞
Sounds wonderful! I have done 3 crossings, the first 2 on the QE2 and the last in 2006 on the QM2. Such fun and wonderful memories.
@@spark_6710 Yeah I want to see a few cities in western Europe, this will include a stay in a cottage on the english country side too!
The pictures of you with your relatives made this feel so much more personal and wholesome. Glad you guys had a good time.
@@silasmoser301 thank you 😊
This is definitely 💯 on my bucket list.😊😊😊
Thank you ever so much for the memories. QM2 was our first cruise in 2007 when my daughter was aged 4. Very quaint very British Tradition ship. Cruise bug gets to you and now on 20th
Thank you! 😊 agree about the Cruise Bug!
We also have taken the QM2 six times across the Atlantic, 4 times from NYC to Southampton and twice the other way. For us, the sheltered balcony rooms have been the best for us (we haven't been in either the suites or inside or oceanview cabins. The sheltered balcony is more protected than the more expensive open balcony, still with a very good view. This is great when the weather isn't so good which is pretty common crossing the Atlantic, even in late spring and summer. We like it much more than the not much cheaper obstructed view balcony rooms, where you get a good view of the giant lifeboats. We haven't been on a regular cruise ship in this century, with our first Princess cruise (to Alaska) next year), so our only experience has been on the QM2. We switched from flying to London to avoid jet lag, and the QM2 is about 30% cheaper than flying business class back and forth, something that was a very pleasant surprise to us.
Wow that sounds amazing to have sailed that many times with her. What wonderful memories you must have. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you enjoy your Alaska cruise as well!
Six times !!
Stellar production. I enjoyed this so much.
Thank you!
We did the New York to Southampton crossing in September 2017; this was something I had always wanted to do. The QM2 is an amazing liner. We were very fortunate with the weather, the Atlantic being like a "mill-pond" for most of the crossing, so much so that there was almost no feeling of movement. After breakfast I would head for the library and sit in the armchair's over looking the bow, a wonderful way to mentally prepare for the strenuous day ahead (- this is a joke! LOL). Having the opportunity to dress formal was good and something that we don't do in our every day lives. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the QM2 an an Atlantic crossing to anyone who was genuinely looking for a unique travel experience.
That's wonderful information, thank you so much for sharing. We also had wonderfully smooth seas. Those chairs in the library are beautiful!
Thank you for the video. I am glad that you had a nice trip with your family.
@@laurenh894 thank you! 😊
Hi Kelly/ Kellie . I just wanted to say what a great video have done. I’ve never been on the Queen Mary 2, but I really want to do transatlantic crossing on her. The QM 2 has such elegance. I’m pleased it’s not all modern inside. I like classic vintage style look, which I know does suit an older generation who would appreciate that. I’m so pleased that your mum and your aunt travelled too. You say they have significant health problems, but hopefully they enjoyed the choosing. I hope both your mum and aunt will feel better very soon if possible.
Thank you so much! And yes, they loved the voyage very much. We have so many happy memories! Thank you again!
Thank you. I will be doing this next spring. You fueled my anticipation. Well done.
@@robertshaver1612 thank you! 😊
One of my greatest vacations was on QM2 in 2016. It was without hesitation the BEST! The service ,Food and staff was everything I expected and More.
Sounds like we had a similar experience! Can't wait to get back on the QM2 😊
Thank you! I go in less than 6 weeks. I loved the music and the ending to your video very much. Best regards.
@@GlobalAdventurer thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your trip!
How sweet of you! Thank you
I always watch 'till the end. Touched my heart, you did. I love gala nights. I can do the kilt in a sleeveless ghillie and sandals right through to black tie and brogues.
Sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing. ☺️
My cousin has crossed the Atlantic on the QM2 8 times and loves it. I've watched a lot of RUclips videos in anticipation. Your video is the best to give me a sense of what a week in the QM2 would be like. Thank you!
@@jeremiahreilly9739 thank you so much! Enjoy your voyage!
Love your take on everything. Bravo!!
Thank you!
This is a wonderfully delivered review. Thank you!
Thank you!
This is one of the best ship trip reviews I've seen. It gave me a great feeling for the ship and for the first time EVER, I think I"d like to go to England via the QMII. I hate flying and the whole airport experience---I have zero tolerance for it and it's made me not want to travel. I also don't think the cruise ship vibe would suit me (Zip lines? Pool slides?) But THIS! Mama Mia!
Thank you so much!
I did westbound on the original Queen Mary in 1961. The 2 looks beautiful. You mentioned the beautiful sunsets but your heading east into the sun but it is a beautiful sunrise 😂
? You still are going to see a sunset no matter where you are on the earth or which way you’re going unless you’re at the very north or south poles.
Did the same trip in 2014, loved it, peaceful, great food, it was classy. I did the watercolor classes. Sailed with family so just nice to be with them! Can’t wait to do again! Thanks!
Thank you! Sounds like a wonderful experience!
Lovely video, thank you for sharing. I have sailed transatlantic on Q2 6 times now and never tire of the ship. I can't wait to set foot onboard again.
Wonderful! Thank you
I am so glad that You addressed the Dress Code, that's why I watched. I have the dress sense of a ground hog on speed and have never fit in no where ... but I know My Wife would just love this and I just don' wanna let her down.. Living out on The Edge is a wondrous thing :-) x
Thanks for the memories! I took this Transatlantic from Southampton to NYC in 6 days in June. It was a spectacular cruise liner and enjoyed every day, exploring, relaxing, meeting new people. It was so special to sail into NYC , see the Statue of Liberty etc. A bucket list trip for me also.
Sounds amazing! Thank you so much 😊
What an absolute delightful video. Brightened up my whole week. Thank you ❤
You are welcome! Thank you!
Thanks for your video. The east-bound trip is not a cruise in the traditional sense, as the Southampton destination is the only port you'll visit after leaving NY. One consequence of this is the activities and entertainment are important!
@@kjh789az definitely!
11:44 On the positive side, they have a dress code. I'm up to here with traveling with people dressed like total slobs. Baseball caps, cargo shorts, graphic Tees, sandals with socks, Fanny packs, bed hair, greasy ponytails. This lack of tasteful clothing and poor grooming has made travel a negative experience for me. Granted, I'm a 75 year old man who is a fashion forward gentleman so perhaps I have outlived a time when dressing your best meant improving your life experience in all things, especially travel. Such a pity it's' become a Greyhound Bus ride. Thankfully there are rare exceptions.
Dressing for an occasion is nice, if that’s your cup of tea. Others enjoy being casual & being active. Fancy pants, shirt, shoes, bow tie & bowler hat if you must. Many enjoy casual wear, but not grotesque. Sit back, enjoy the ride.
I think " casual" has backslid over the years. Men's casual used to be dress slacks,some lightweight in the Summer months with a crisp dress shirt with a collar. A Panama or similar straw hat for sun protection...Seasonal appropriate dress shoes to finish the look. Woman really miss out too. Summer dresses, sandals, canvas or open dress shoes. Cotton blouses and the old favorite " clam digger" slacks.
We are doing a transatlantic leaving 27/4/25. Celebrating my 70 th onboard. These video’s are so helpful!!! Cheers ❤
Thank you so much! Happy travels!
Thank you for sharing the highlights of your adventure.
Thank you!
great presentation! thank you Kelly!
You are welcome!
This cruise is on my bucket list. I plan on it in two years. Thank you for your informative video.
You are welcome-enjoy your trip!
What a beautifully done video. You come across so warm and genuine. We're definitely going to take your advice at some point and go across to Europe onboard this elegant liner. I feel like we were born for this.
Thank you so much! Yes, this is a must do. Happy travels!
Thanks for mentioning you went with family members with health problems-I have some & your mention means the trip would probably doable for me!!!❤ Loved your clothes discussion & prep for all weather-I love being outside even in bad weather!
Sounds like you would enjoy it! Thank you so much 😊
Very nice video! I love to cruise, but I still haven't sailed on the QM2. A dear friend sailed on its inaugural get to know the ship cruise twenty some years ago and loved it! A great alternative to flying!
@@rtroyer8963 sounds wonderful! Thank you so much! I hope you get to travel aboard her soon. 😊
Fantastic tour of this wonderful ship! I participate in a biennial vintage-themed crossing that takes place on the QM2, and she is perfect for the experience; classic style and impeccable service. I can’t wait to do the crossing again next year!
Sounds wonderful! Thank you 😊
My wife and I were also on that cruise, and we did a back-to-back from the U.K. It was the first time that we've done an eight-day crossing, it's usually seven there and seven back. However, the first time we did a trans-Atlantic was on the QE2 and then it was a five-day crossing and every sea was formal.
I enjoyed your documentary and I'm glad that you had an enjoyable time onboard.
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks for this. I booked last night to sail out of my hometown Southampton to New York for Christmas 26. I've done several P and O before but am really excited to try Cunard and experience a proper ocean liner
That sounds wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing! Hope you have a great experience!
I kept waiting for huge waves, but you had a nice, calm crossing. Great video, thank you!
@@candiceangotti4729 thank you!
Myself and my granddaughter were on for the roundtrip from Southampton from the 16th August
We had mostly excellent weather
She enjoyed her time in N Y she went with Barbara one of the lovely people waiting on us
We enjoyed dressing up,the food was amazing,everyone looked after us so well
This was my 4th crossing
2 included the Caribbean
Look forward to finding your aspects on Norway we go on the 25th August 2026
Keep up the good work
Thank you
Thank you 😊
Sounds like a well deserved & brilliant trip, as i get older i'm looking for more experiences like this. Great content Thank You. 👌
Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks so much! I was on the voyage that left on July 27, which may have been the same one you describe. I enjoyed it very much. Per the dress code, I was ejected from dinner on the first gala night for not wearing a jacket. Not a problem, there are plenty of places to eat on the QM2, but men should be aware that a jacket is required in the Britannia room on gala nights. But you won't go hungry, you'll just dine in the King's Court which is also excellent. Thanks again.
@@BillDyszel thank you so much. Good information to share!
I crossed the Atlantic many times and in many directions...on a cargo ship 🙂. Well done lady!
Thank you! 😊
THANK YOU! so much for this video. Very much enjoyed, and like you, meaningful to me.
My paternal grandparents and father immigrated aboard the original Queen Mary in 1962. And later, in the early 90s, I was a tour guide aboard the Queen Mary. Later still, between military stints, I served aboard all 3 of the US's flagged vessels, Pride of America, Pride of Hawaii, and Pride of Aloha. My wife and I want VERY much to sail aboard the QM2. Enjoying your video really added oxygen to that burning coal and thank you for it!
Wow, that's amazing! What a rich history there… Thank you so much for sharing. I can just imagine how meaningful she is to you. And thank you for your service! And thank you so much for the compliments on the video. 😊
You did such a beautiful job explaining everything. Thank you for this video and by the way you have a very sweet soothing voice.
@@lynnegirard980 thank you!
I had my first cruise on this beautiful ship last week and didn't find everything - so I'm going again!
Great idea!
Thanks for covering the topic on dress code!
@@seebunlim you are welcome!
Loved the video! You put such wonderful videos up it’s like being there, and your descriptions are top notch.❤
@@josite2 thank you!😊
I think this will now be how I go to England next time I go.
@@Ivehadenuff sounds wonderful!
Great Video! Thank you. Great cruise attire advice for the Queen Mary 2 and Cunard cruising. 🛳️
Thank you very much!
Very nice video. Your narration was calm, yet entertaining. Been on this trip once and the ship a couple times. Great job. Looking forward Queen Victoria in the spring.
Thank you!
Thank you for an enjoyable and accurate video about QM2. You did research, knew what to expect, and appreciated what this unique ship offers. Very tiring to see videos from supposedly “knowledgeable” vloggers who have done no research or have not watched the literally dozens of QM2 videos. We love this ship. Clearly has a distinct “target audience” which is why Carnival bought Cunard. We love the myriad spaces where you can be alone if you want, or others where you can be in the middle of everything. Nice job.
Thank you! 😊
Glad you had a great time,I really enjoyed seeing everything on this beautiful liner😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Kelly,
We have been on 4 QM2 Crossings and your video ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. Well done. It is a special experience and your video does a great job conveying that experience. Our first Crossing was a "once in a lifetime" trip to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It's addictive.
Just one question, I noticed that your closing narrative was posted as a mirror image so that your Brooklyn shirt appeared backwards.
Thank you so much! 😊 And how wonderful to have crossed on the QM2 that many times!
I think your question is, why is my shirt-writing mirrored/backwards? If so, it's because I filmed that part with my phone, and whenever I film myself with my phone it's a mirrored capture. (If there's a fix for that, I don't know what it is 😁) Thank you for your kind words; I am
so glad that you enjoyed the video!
Wife and I did a cross Atlantic cruise on the QMII from Southampton to N.Y. a couple of years ago. It was magnificent. A bucket list item. Worth every penny and not expensive as we anticipated. Will do again ASAP. By the way, we met a retired English couple that has does many round trip sailings. Fantastic!
Sounds wonderful!
Well constructed video; the views, the music and the information. Well done! I wish I was there.
Thank you so much!
Very well done. We've taken her to the Caribbean twice. A wonderful experience.
@@rlevow9581 thank you
Good video, thanks
Thank you!
Thank you. It’s the first time we have enjoyed a review about sailing the ocean on a proper liner. There was a lot of useful information. I particularly enjoyed seeing your family, it was so touching to see them enjoying the crossing. I have traveled to Scandinavia several times and am sure you would have enjoyed it too. Nice to meet you. Bye for now. See you in the next recording.
@@robertcaley2671 thank you! 😊
So nice they have memorialized the Cunard (pron. K you nard) historical ships. My parents emigrated on the Carinthia in 1957
Nice down-to earth video thanks
Lovey video. Thanks for taking the time to show all the aspects of the trip.
@@michaelglover971 you're welcome! Thank you!
@@SheSailsAway we are thinking of booking next summer with my 13 year old daughter. Were there many children travelling? Is there enough for children to do?
They were hardly any children on our transatlantic Crossing. There are some children's activities on board but I don't know anything about them, as I did not look into them. There's not a whole lot there for kids to do in general, but if the weather is nice there is swimming And some things to do on the sports deck
@@SheSailsAway thanks a lot
A professional presentation.
@@gerardosullivan1642 thank you!
Generally regular transit has not been called a cruise. In 1958 when my family sailed from NYC on the QUEEN MARY, it was not referred to as a cruise. It was transit; it was a crossing
I've been on the Queen Mary 2 a couple of times but they were Caribbean cruises & not a crossing. Got lucky to be upgraded to the Queens grill on the 1st one. Yours was the best review of this ship I've seen. I wish you the best of luck on your channel!
@@stevenwolff6866 thank you so much!
Thanks, that was very informative. I’m going on my first cruise in 40 years in a couple of weeks and I’m very excited.
Sounds terrific! Enjoy!
We were on the same trip, had a great time as well. Only thing we missed - the planetarium was closed...something I had really looked forward to. Super service across the board. Highly recommend. Nice job.
Thank you! We hope to see the planetarium next time
Thank you for this video, it was very informative. Doing an Atlantic crossing on an ocean liner is on my bucket list. I have done many cruises, Holland America has an outside elevator as well, but a crossing like this would be special. Thanks again.
Thank you and you're welcome!
Loved the video. Felt like I was there. I hope to cross the Atlantic via a cruise liner one day.
@@smurray2006 it is a unique experience!
Thank you for this really informative and interesting video. We are going to do a double transatlantic in 2026 with a trip to Canada on QM2 as part of the trip and we are looking forward to it so much!
That sounds wonderful! How exciting!
We sailed on her in her inaugural year ( 2003?). She's still a beauty. Glad you had fun!
Sounds wonderful!
Ours was a repositioning cruise in the Caribbean. I'd love to see Norway someday.
While the QM 2 cruises elsewhere, the trans Atlantic trip is adamantly referred to as a CROSSING by Cunard. I was corrected right away on a phone call with them. Oh, and they referred to the accommodations as either a stateroom or cabin. So, not being nautically correct, we instead took a 13 night trans Atlantic voyage from Ft. Lauderdale to Barcelona with Viking. A very good choice in our case.
A well put together video of your trip, very professional. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@stopcrueltyagainstanimals2578 thank you!
Thanks for sharing. We will be on QM2 in December.
I will be on QM2 this October for a double Transatlantic crossing from Southampton-NYC!! SO excited. I was on the Queen Victoriathis past January to Hamburg (4 nt cruise) and it was awesome!!!! ENJOY your voyage!!!
We will be crossing Oct 4th and returning in Nov. Spending a month in Sicily in-between. Looking forward it. Thanks for the info.
You are welcome! Sounds like a fabulous trip!
Just wanted to note - the Britannia 'Club' section has its entrance and seating area at the rear of Britannia - deck 2, off the 'D' staircase lobby area. Folks in those cabins pay a premium price to have the same table waiting for them at Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. On six crossings so far [number 7 and 8 planned for this October] we have always selected a 'sheltered balcony' room similar to yours - but opt for the late seating to allow time between afternoon tea and dinner ;-)
One nice thing on a QM2 crossing is that the passports are checked during the eastbound crossing, so when you arrive in Southampton as an 'in transit' passenger you can just walk off and come back whenever you want.
@@dl11950 that's true!
I have fixed the video but it's going to be a few days of re-uploading and reprocessing to get the fix on the channel. Thank you for catching that!
Wow! Quite a difference from the QM I crossed on. Almost makes me want to do it again. I crossed in 1965. Thanks for the review.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience, very nice video.
Thank you!
Thank you so much. Cunard n QE 2 are on my bucket list. I had 1 booked but it ultimately really didn't fit in my other plans. I've had the same questions like dress. I also love the idea of the Norway addn. The dance lessons are my favorite and I love sea days. I'm going to do it! Thanks!
@@thefrugalwanderlustinglinguist wonderful! Enjoy!
Great review ❤
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video! I leave in late October for this trip and am so happy to have gotten an overview before traveling. I will be a solo traveler and after disembarking in Southampton am heading to Bayeux in France. Very, very helpful!
@@CatNorris happy sails!
Great job on the video!! We are hoping to do the QM2 someday.
Thank you!
Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
We're on board next March going to Portugal and Spain.
That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much
I believe that the difference between the 4 kinds of ocean going ships;Liners, Cruise Ships and Marine Ferries would be a liner is generally point to point,a cruise ship does a tour of various places and often you end up back where you came from, marine ferries generally stick to the coastal parts of oceans and are working ships not really for pleasure although are often used for leasure.The 4th type are cargo ships which sometimes carry passengers but sadly not many do now.
Really enjoyed your review.
Thank you!
I had the pleasure of traveling from New York to Southampton on the Queen Mary in 1963. At that time there was 1st Class, 2nd class then us. I believe we made the crossing in 5 days but I could be wrong. Just a great experience for a 21 year old taking a break from college.
That sounds amazing!
The steam ships routinely made 5 day crossings - but took over 24 hours for the turn around at each end of the crossing. I should have bookmarked a YT video of an old Cunard publicity film showing the breakneck pace of a Queen Elizabeth turn around [48 hours] in New York - I think the film was from 1955 or so.
Great video! We have seen other channels about QE2 - yours is best!! Very well done
Thank you so much!
I liked your review of the Queen Mary 2. I have traveled on her before her refit so I enjoyed your updated video. I will be sailing on her December 3 New York to Southampton.
Thank you! Sounds great!
This might be a good 2 1/2 three week vacation for me and my girl is coming here. Not just a cruise As we spoke enough, but a trip to the UK. I’ve been wanting to go back home to Scotland for a long time. And this might be the perfect way to do it.
@@straycat1674 sounds like a great idea! Thank you for sharing
Doing this trip on my own in December back to the uk can’t wait
Sounds amazing!

Lovey video. Thanks for taking the time to
Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed
@@lindastevens6861 thank you !
I did a round-trip (Southampton to New York and return) on this beautiful ship and enjoyed everything about it. Did not the miss land at all with, as you say, lots to see and do. Loved the themed nights dressing up and the food. However, did you miss mentioning the Planatarium, which is not to be missed but has to be booked. I would suggest this is booked as soon as you get on board as it is fully booked every day. There is also tea and coffee in your cabin, brilliant cabin crew, and a feeling of elegance and pampering. Jusr my sort of holiday. Since my holiday, my husband has very sadly died, but I will have no hesitation in booking again as a single traveller.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry about your husband. I'm glad you're enjoying solo travel, I find it's a terrific way to get out and see the world. Yes, sadly I did not mention the planetarium as it was broken during our crossing. I hope to experience it someday.
