My late Aunt paid for us to accompany her to New York and back on that magnificent ocean liner. The entire journey was incredible and seamless from embarkation to disembarkation. Thanks so much Auntie Mary, miss you so much. ❤

Andy and Kristie, Glad you enjoyed QM2. Many of her “quirky” features are a direct result of her transatlantic pedigree, including having the lifeboats high in the ship to keep her lifeboats out of harms way on stormy crossings. Did you visit the Commodore Club on Deck 9 forward? It’s an iconic observation lounge with the largest ship model on board. Come back for a transatlantic -the ship excels on crossings!

I booked my first Cunard trip on QV for 4 nights to Amsterdam for last October. Unfortunately mum was diagnosed with cancer so I rang Cunard to cancel. The amazing lady on the phone suggested that rather than cancel I postpone to this November so I wouldn’t loose my deposit. Unfortunately I lost mum in early August so as I had the time off work I booked the same trip for the October to lift my spirits. Like you I was pretty impressed with the Cunard experience (you should try breakfast in your cabin next time! Full English in your cabin, unheard of). My only niggle was one evening I was having a drink with some of my table companions and waited 25 mins from order to delivery. Not acceptable! Like you the Chart Room became my favourite bar! Thanks for an enjoyable video, best wishes to you noth

I’d love to see more of the British Isles cruises now that Dublin Port has been extended to take Cruise Ships - living in Manchester myself, I usually take the Irish Ferries Ulysses ferry from Holyhead to Dublin when visiting family in Ireland, but I’d always loved to join a cruise ship at Liverpool and sail across the Irish Sea that way, even though it’s 8 hours as opposed to being 3 hours from Holyhead

Really enjoyed that. Great to see a couple on one of the short trips not aiming to dress to minimum standards. The ship deserves respect. We did 14 nights to NY and back as a once in lifetime trip, and will be repeating that annually from 2025. The delay being that by time we made the decision release date for 2024 had passed and we like to book on release. Other than one afternoon tea we took all meals in Britannia Club, same menu as Britannia. We'll do same again, no need for other restaurants. Lastly, sorry but everyone knows Cunard don't do clotted cream! Don't think we'd bother with afternoon tea again unless it was a tea dance.

When I am forced to fly I am never happy until the plane is on the ground and I have my suitcase in my hand. When I cross on QM2, I never want it to end.

A great insight into the dining experiences. Your reaction to the mic issues was rather amusing (sorry) and I can appreciate it's very annoying but if anything it added some normality and humour to the video (KZbin can be very bland when stuff is edited to perfection). I really like how you edit your vlogs by the way, a lot of thought goes into the music and shots, it really does make a big difference, they are very relaxing to watch (mic issue aside). Getting that balance between vlogging content and enjoying your holiday must be a fine line. Thanks for sharing your adventure. P S. I've a large heavy hammer that might "fix" that mic for good, highly therapeutic lol. Thanks again, Vik 👍

First time viewer of your channel -- great vlog! Next spring I'll be taking my first transatlantic on QM2. I was worried I might be too overdressed if I wore a suit on non gala nights, but after seeing how great you two looked I'm going for it. Looks like I'm going to need a bigger suitcase!

We’ve recently booked to go on our very first cruise - next September to the Eastern Med and Adriatic on the Queen Victoria. So looking forward to it. Your vlogs are great and so very well made. I know the loss of audio would have irritated you but as a viewer it didn’t spoil anything. Keep it up.

Very good vlog. Great to see you on Cunard. I must say, their drinks are pricey but good. I just wish their Pina coladas were bigger. I went on QE earlier this year and we ate in the buffet most nights because of the food choices and quality. Very impressed.

Yes, I was impressed by the cocktail quality and choice. Definitely want to try more of the buffet next time.

Did you have issues booking on their web site? For me it was terrible. I had "sailed" QM2 3 times and I couldn't book. Web site broken.

This is a good video, thank you, gives a good overview, your filming was fine. I think I’ll need to take some ballroom dancing classes! Love your drinks choice and volume, great to see someone really enjoying plenty of refreshments 😁 The tables at breakfast look a wee bit close together and no clotted cream or tiered plates etc at afternoon tea it all seems a bit underwhelming and it may be the angle but the windows on the ship look like ordinary ferry windows? Bit disappointed on the look of the food too seen nicer looking food presentation on NCL. Not sure now, the QM2 might now be coming off my bucket list, pity the art deco is so beautiful and it is the liner!. Lol what did you lose when the audio went off?? 😳. Was the quirky a good quirky, not sure.

Yes, elements of the cruise were a little underwhelming, but they were very minor. We enjoyed it overall. It was my rag I lost! It wasn't a bad quirky. It just took time to get used to.
