Cunard Queen Mary 2 - Full Ship Tour - Post Refit 2023

#cruise #cruiseship #cruisevlog #cunard #queenmary2 #qm2
Welcome to my brand new ship tour of Cunard's magnificent Queen Mary 2 (QM2). In this video, we'll be touring every single venue on this beautiful ship, from the Grand Lobby with sweeping red-carpet staircases, to the onboard Planetarium with its' huge high-definition projectors, to the Lido decks complete with swimming pools.
We're going to cover every bar, every restaurant, and everywhere that you could spend time onboard this ship, to help show you exactly how a day onboard the flagship of the Cunard Line could look.
QM2 was launched in 2004, and very recently in 2023 underwent a massive-scale refurbishment. I filmed this video during a 7-night Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton, very soon following the refit. Fantastically, the ship is fully decorated for Christmas as a result - let me show you how beautiful it looked!
If you enjoy this video, please let me know in the comments. Would you cruise on this ship, or 'not for you'? I'd love to hear from you!

I never comment on videos but I must for this. Because it's the BEST full tour of the Queen Mary 2 Ive ever seen (and Ive watched them all) and with brilliant naration that is not full of nauseating useless facts/ information. Im intending to book my first ever cruise for myself and my service dog and your video has made my decision final and it's a yes. Thank you for your efforts and a FANTASTIC INFORMATIVE BRILLIANTLY PRODUCED video. Best wishes to you and for your future. WELL DONE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FraserAtSea]

Shane, wow - what a comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to not only watch, but also leave this comment - you’ve made me smile on this Monday morning. Have the best cruise!

Thank you for this thoroughly overview. We just booked a transatlantic passage for next year!

[@Asty1980]

This is the only cruise I'd step foot on. Grand Ocean Liner. My mum did the transatlantic crossing for a big birthday. She had the best time. The best cruise she has taken.

[@FraserAtSea]

Oh, she’s an absolute beauty of a ship - great to hear your Mum had such a good trip. I’ve got more coming from this ship, if you’re interested - stay tuned! 😊

[@bodiceahampe9462]

Of all the ships we've been on, Queen Mary 2 is the best. A beautiful ship with great entertainment, food and speakers, cabins and crew. We have been on many other ships and though they also have positive things to be said, Cunard is without doubt the outstanding. one.

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, that’s so great to hear - I’m sure people watching this video will enjoy seeing this comment. I was really impressed with the base product on QM2 - very, very well executed! Thanks so much for watching, and for taking the time to comment - I’ve got more coming from this ship too - watch this space…!!

[@grahampierce9221]

Thank You! In a couple of weeks I'll be taking QM2 on a brief 4 days to Hamburg and back. Hardly time to find my bearings on a ship this big [plus it'll be my first cruise] so this has been enormously helpful. I've watched your video and kept stopping it to consult the deck plans on the Cunard site. If I get lost it won't be your fault!

[@FraserAtSea]

What a lovely comment - thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed it! The 4 nighter will be a lovely intro to a ship like this. Let me know how you get on - enjoy!

[@piusx8317]

Hope you enjoyed your trip. We're doing to 4 night to Bruges & Rotterdam. Did it around 10 years ago and amazed considering the size of the ship how easily it was to navigate around and see it all in 4 days

[@deidresmith2335]

We are getting on her in Fremantle Australia in February for 10 days....its definitely a bucket list ship for us...cannot wait..thank you for the tour

Oh, I’m jealous - what a gorgeous part of the world for you - have the best time!

[@tckhoo2207]

A very nicely done video. Probably the most comprehensive walkthrough of the QM2 I've seen with objective views. I particularly found your comment on the lingering scent of cigars and pipes in the Commodore Club very helpful as my wife is very sensitive to this too. Hopefully the opposite corner to the lounge where you went to was relatively odour free, cos that will be where we'll be when we go there. She's a truly beautiful ship, near iconic, and one of a kind left in the world. We've signed up for a Westbound Transatlantic cruise for June next year and are really looking forward to it.

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks very much - what a lovely comment to read on a Friday afternoon! You won’t have an issue over the other side - that’s where the piano is, so there’s fewer seats on that side, so you may need to go a little earlier! There are still loads of other beautiful spots to relax on this ship though - you’re right - a real icon! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@Holly2017Rascal]

We never thought much about going on a cruise. I just happened to look at an email from a discount cruise travel site. Saw the Canada Short Break on the Queen Mary 2 from Quebec to NY. We talked about it a little but didn’t make a decision one way or the other. My daughter called and said her friend and his mom had just taken on Queen Mary 2 Christmas Caribbean cruise and loved it. They decided to go for Christmas 2024 and they invited her mother-in-law and my husband and I to go too. We booked it last week. So the family will be enjoying Queen Mary 2 for Christmas and New Year’s 2025. Started watching You Tube videos about cruises and saw yours. Sending it to my husband and daughter to view. I was excited but after watching, now I can’t wait for December 2024. Thank you so much for this informative video. What a beautiful ship.

Excellent job on this video! We were so excited to see it. We have booked a QM2 trip for next August to the fjords of Norway. This gave us a great feel for the ship and places we will definitely want to explore. We will have a "sheltered balcony" cabin, and I'm interested to see what we will think of that. Keep up the great work!

Ooh, I think that’s those balconies with the big steel surround? That’ll be beautiful! What an itinerary you’ve picked - I did Norway last year (before I properly kicked into the world of KZbin), and it was AMAZING!

Thank you, that was very good. We're going in July, Transatlantic, first time on QM2. I really want to try the hot tubs and hope they're not too busy, also the Pavilion pool. I love saunas too.

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! I’d imagine the decks will be a bit busier in July as you’ll probably get much better weather - it was freezing a few days during my time onboard, so only the brave explored the outside. I can confirm that sauna’s lovely in a colder day though!!

[@memseaman8850]

That was most enjoyable and informative. You simplified a complicated subject. Thank you so much. Now I just need pricing simplified.

[@susanlach3388]

I loved your video Fraser, very nicely filmed and narrated. I do have one nit to pick. You are a soft spoken person and your voice is so mellow I had to put the video on max volume to a blue tooth speaker to hear you. Imagine the unwelcome startle every few minutes when an ad broke in at top volume. I think you need a stronger mic. (& for all the critics out there, I am aware one can pay fees to reduce ads).

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching, and really valid comment. On the videos that I’m editing now, I’m actually adjusting the base volume to be higher, so should help! It doesn’t seem to be getting fed back by many, but I do appreciate what you mean - sorry if I gave you a heart attack with the ad volume…!! Thanks for taking the time to comment Susan - it’s much appreciated - stay with me 😊

[@globetraveller2515]

This is one of the best and most comprehensive reviews of the QM2. Please though, try not to refer to her as a ‘cruise ship’. She is the last remaining Ocean Liner in service. She is designed completely differently to a cruise ship with a long bow, deep draft, thick steel, high waterline, and speeds up to 38 knots. Cruise ships aren’t anything like this and max out at 15 knots. Please familiarize yourself with the differences and the unique design by Dr Stephen Payne. Thank you. 🙏

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey, thanks a lot for watching, and thanks for your comment. If I’ve called it a cruise ship in the voiceover, I’ll kick myself now - I’ve done lots of reading on the QM2, so don’t worry! Thanks again for watching!

Thanks very much for posting this video. She was beautiful ship. I didn't know that she is smaller than many Princess ships. I like her better than new ship, Queen Anne. I hope to take Transatlantic cruises with her. She looks more like old classic ships. Do they still require suit on formal gala night? I found out they have about 15 single cabins. I like indoor pool and atrium. Are swimming pool heated? Thanks

[@FraserAtSea]

I am hoping that MSC Euribia is as nice as MSC Virtuosa which I travelled on last December 2022. Yacht club is very nice so I am looking forward to all the special attention. Watching many vloggs on MSC Euribia it seems they are giving really cheap cruise prices and the ship has been very packed which has produced some bad reviews. Well Happy Cruising and keep up the great vloggs!

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! I actually only noticed this section at the back of the ship - I didn’t see another, but then the cruise I was on was cold weather, so didn’t spend a huge amount of time outside. One of the reasons you’ll find it’s restricted is that the decks are all real wood, so smoking is a really high risk elsewhere… Thanks for watching, and sorry I can’t give you 100% confirmation!

What is my favorite venue on this ship? I've seen so many, I cannot make a choice. But lots of details I loved. For example the curtains, they klook so pretty and make the place feel homely.

Hey, thanks so much for watching! I’ve never had a wine package onboard, but know that overall drinks packages might be best for you, if it’s bubbly you’re drinking.

Hey! I did indeed - I was on for the 7 night Eastbound Transatlantic from New York! I stayed in an inside cabin - I’ll have a room tour coming to my channel in a while - stay tuned! The ocean views will be great - I didn’t book early enough for one of them…!!

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@FraserAtSea Thank you for replying. Looking forward to your cabin review. Personally l, I'm only traveling on this ship to basically get across the pond and back and do a few cruises while I'm over there. I'll be only eating in the buffet and room service 😀

[@FraserAtSea]

@@GlobalAdventurer the room service was good - don’t worry! I’ve actually just finished editing my first Queen Elizabeth video going live tomorrow - stay tuned for that to see more of Cunard!

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@FraserAtSea Thanks 👍

[@kathyhorstman7909]

​@@GlobalAdventurer, if you don't want to dress up at all in the evening, you can also eat in the Golden Lion pub and in the Carinthia Lounge.

Do you think the Cunard ships are a bit dated for a more premium cruise? I know it’s traditional and classy but just wondered if the decor seems as luxurious as some other more modern cruise lines?

[@FraserAtSea]

Really good question. It’s VERY different to what you’d find on, for example, the new celebrity ships, but I’d argue their cruise product is fundamentally different. I’ve really enjoyed both QE and QM2 this year, and feel they offer premium, traditional, British luxury really well. Very good question! Have you tried either?

[@laurenjayne23]

@@FraserAtSea That makes sense. I suppose you can appreciate them in different ways. I’ve not tried either but want to try different cruise lines!

[@BlaineShire]

Is there a Walmart on the QM 2?

[@FraserAtSea]

Not exactly 😂

[@BlaineShire]

@@FraserAtSea LOL!!!!

[@tamiw1903]

Can't go wrong with an Earl Grey cuppa ESPECIALLY WITH double bergamot... good ship showcase... European cuisine primarily correct?

[@FraserAtSea]

You know how to do it!! Yeah, I’d say so, but still a good mix - I was surprised to see a whole late night snack buffet of German food one night!

[@tamiw1903]

Idk what is considered German besides streudle..

[@m.m.4645]

Strudel is an Austrian food.

[@tamiw1903]

Cool thanks for the correction... Isn't the main language in Austria - German?... Easy error to make ...

[@m.m.4645]

It sounds like German, but is a very special sort of. A bit like a dialect, close to Bavarian. People that speak proper German, socalled "High German" definitely need subtitles 😉

[@WallaseyanTube]

Have they replaced or fixed the seats in the Planetarium?

[@FraserAtSea]

I didn’t see any with any problems, and found them to be really comfy. I’d assume they’ve fixed them?

[@WallaseyanTube]

@@FraserAtSea It was not that they were not comfy; many of the seats had broken reclining mechanisms.

[@barrieshepherd7694]

@@WallaseyanTube I read in another Press Release that they have all been replaced with working seats.

[@WallaseyanTube]

@@barrieshepherd7694 Thank you.

[@johnngai4561]

How were you able to film the entire ship with no people around?

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks for watching! By getting up verrrry early a few days of my cruise, haha!

[@martynmiller4247]

Despite your early comment, QM2 is a liner, not a "cruise ship"...

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks for watching - don’t worry - an innocent slip of the tongue!

[@WallaseyanTube]

There were a few issues I noted at the start of the year. You might be able to verify that they have been resolved: - Broken window on deck 7 at the entrance to the spa area opposite the reception - Very shoddy repair made in the lift in staircase D; I can not remember which lift it was but one of them had a very poor temporary repair made near the flor. - Notable black stains on the backs and side of furniture throughout the Commodore and Corinthian lodges.

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! Unfortunately I’m not on the ship anymore - I was only on for 7 nights. I can confirm that she’s looking beautiful, but can’t confirm the specific repairs below unfortunately - sorry!

[@WallaseyanTube]

@@FraserAtSea Never mind, I am sure others will comment if there is still a problem.

[@Garry_Bass]

Love your videos, even with that ridiculous accent :) And that's coming from a Southern shandy drinking fairy. Joking of course sir.

[@FraserAtSea]

Ha, I was NEARLY offended there, haha! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@danduke2865]

And please , stop referring to this as a cruise ship. It is not a cruise ship. It is an ocean liner. There is a vast difference between the two.

[@FraserAtSea]

Don’t worry - slip of the tongue!

[@bakkenta1]

He opened calling it an ocean liner - then used cruise ships to differentiate these accommodations.

[@williammcfarlane4681]

Thanks for this but QM2 is NOT a cruise ship it is a liner.

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey, thanks for watching! Yeah, I tried to cover that in my intro at the start of the video. Worth flagging though!

[@watchtellyinuk]

What's worse than a Scot selling crap on a channel. And having to listen top him for 45 minutes???? At 14:00 it's NOT a cruise ship!!!!!! It's an Ocean LINER!

[@FraserAtSea]

Oops - slight slip of the tongue - thanks for the comment. Don’t worry though - I’m of the ocean liner mindset too 😉 😂
