Cunard Queen Mary 2 - Queens Grill Cabin 10101 Q5 - Tour and Thoughts 2023

I am trying something new. This will be a cabin tour of a Q5 on the QM2 (Cabin 10101) with commentary as I recorded it. I also follow up the next day with some thoughts and additional explanations after spending a night in the cabin.
Let me know if you like this type of video better. I would like to make them more engaging and personal.

Lovely to see. Thank you! Not many videos covering Queens Grill x

Glad you enjoyed it! Would be happy to do more QG videos! 😂

@@DHollandTravels Hey, if you want to spend money on keeping a random Scottish lady from the internet happy, please be my guest 😂

@@lynseycobden203 hahaha!! We are actually booked in QG on the Queen Victoria, but not until spring of 2026. I will definitely do a cabin tour of that. We are actually in the middle of flights out for a cruise with Princess right now from Quebec to Boston. Can’t wait for that QV sailing, though!!

Is Q5 the highest or lowest category? Thanks 👍

[@DHollandTravels]

The Q5, Q6, and Q7 cabins are the lowest grade of Queens Grill. From what I understand from the QM2 deck plans, there are 7 levels of Queen's Grill suites; Q1-Q7. Q1s are the largest Grand Duplex Suites, Q2 are the Duplex Apartment Suites, Q3 are the Royal Suites, Q4 are the Penthouse Suites. Q5, Q6, and Q7 are the Queen Suites. The Q5 and Q6 are basically the same cabin, but the Q5s are located more midships and the Q6s are located forward. The Q7s are the wheelchair accessible Queens Suites with larger doors and a shower instead of a bath.

@@DHollandTravels Wow! Such a detail explanation. Thank you so much. I travel solo and as of now wouldn't book the queen suites, but maybe the princess suites. I have several bookings coming up 3 in solo cabins and one in an inside cabin. I bid on an upgrade for a Brittanica balcony because I still want to see outside and not have any obstructed views when I'm inside because I seldom sit outside, but the views are always great. I only bid on the shorter trip to Hamburg. Thanks again.

Happy to help! I had a Princess Grill (P1) cabin on the Queen Elizabeth, and I really enjoyed it. I have looked at the solo cabins on the QM2, they look really nice. I would definitely consider booking one of those if I was solo on her. I haven't tried an inside cabin yet, but I would be interested to try it on a shorter cruise to see how it is. We have a oceanview cabin booked for our next cruise coming up in September on the Emerald Princess, it will be our first time in that grade, although I did put a bid in for an upgrade to a balcony on that. Not sure if we'll get it. Good luck on your bid!

@@DHollandTravels Good luck to you guys too!🤞🤞

Thanks for the review. Did you have a problem with the shower curtain?

[@DHollandTravels]

I hope you found it useful! I didn't have any issues with bumping up against the shower curtain. There was a liner inside with a heavier curtain outside, so the same as my setup at home. The shower curtain is hung directly across and does not curve outward like some curtain rods do, but again, I didn't have an issue with bumping up against the liner at all during my showers.
