I've only sailed on the QM2 from the Cunard offerings. Each of the Cunard ships have a lot of similarities and offerings while on board. It's really a class act. If you ever have a chance to travel on QM2 on a transatlantic sailing, I'd advise you to take some warm clothing for those strolls around the promenade. Even during the hottest days of August, the mid-Atlantic can be surprisingly cold, and after a few days of indulgent food and drink, you're going to need to walk that deck for some fresh air and exercise, but without a jacket or sweater/jumper, you'll be miserably cold--so take something warm regardless of the season.
@FraserAtSea10 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks so much for watching! I actually did the Transatlantic from NYC to Southampton in December, so ‘watch this space’ for that content! I loved it - it was cold all the way over the Atlantic, then warm enough for jeans and a tshirt as we approached England - mid December - so weird!
@ajs1120110 ай бұрын
@@FraserAtSea Indeed, I would expect most people to expect cold weather in December and all through the winter months. I was a bit taken aback to find that I was cold in August. When we left the NYC Harbor in August, we had sweat rolling down our foreheads, but only a few days later, I was searching for layers to cope with the cold winds at sea. We managed, but I always offer that piece of advice for summertime travelers who may not expect the harsh elements of the mid-Atlantic.

My wife and I just finished a 3-week cruise aboard the Queen Mary 2 (transatlantic both directions, plus Norway on the second week). This was my 4th time on the QM2, and my ritual is taking a photo of my first soft-serve cone each time I'm on board. Sadly for my waistline, I tend to average around 4 cones per day, with port days keeping it that low. The Queen Elizabeth is the next Cunard ship on our cruise list, so it was nice to see from this video that many familiar things from the QM2 also exist on the Elizabeth. I'm also happy to see the guest choir is there as well, which my wife (being a singer) really loved. On our cruise, the internet was a huge pain point among the guests, and the purser's office gave conflicting (and incorrect) information regarding cost/credits. Hopefully that gets sorted by our next cruise.

If drinks are not included in the Britannia Restaurant, how much is a bottle of water or a coke - just for guidance.
@FraserAtSea Жыл бұрын
Hey! Good question, and no - drinks aren’t included in the Dining Rooms - all pay extra. I actually didn’t drink bottled water in there, as the ‘tap water’ was heavily iced from nice jugs and poured generously, so I never needed the bottle. Additionally, you can fill your own bottle up at the Lido during the day! Re Cokes, plan about $4 each, I’d say. Hope this helps, and thanks so much for watching!

Hi Fraser presume you will consider another Cunard cruise? Given your apparent enjoyment of this cruise? Or was the itinerary and the canal, the more impressive?
@FraserAtSea Жыл бұрын
While the canal was absolutely the reason for this cruise, I’ll absolutely be considering another Cunard cruise. INFACT, I may have booked one already… Stay tuned!!

I’m confused about gratuities - one place I read it’s included in the fare and another says it’s added on your bill on the last night. Can you please clarify that for me. Thanks.
@FraserAtSea Жыл бұрын
Hi Elizabeth, it’s funny you’re asking this question - this also caught me off guard on Cunard! Gratuities weren’t included in my fare, so I got the charge on my account a few days in. You can remove them and tip as you go though, so not like Costa etc where you can’t take them off - up to you!

Oh, it’s expensive! I don’t have the figure to hand, but think it was about $34.99 per day for the good package. Cheaper to buy before you board, for sure!

Because you used the word ‘bloke’ i’m assuming you’re an Aussie like me. I switched on the subtitles and while not perfect, I understood everything that Fraser said. I’m going on a Cunard cruise in March ‘24 and have found this extremely useful. It’s one thing to read about it in the Cunard portal and another thing to get extra information and pictures of it here. Thanks for your vlog!
