Cunard owes you a salute because since cruising your channel, we've booked on the QM2 for next year.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi. That's fantastic to hear, wishing you an amazing time. And the QM2 has had a dry dock in the past 2 months, and some nice refurbishments, and looking even more elegant than ever!

[@davidjames-maddaford4531]

I just adore your sardonic sarcasm, Sir. I have recently stumbled upon your channel. Often you make me explode with laughter from some of your wit. I also will be using your channel regarding cruising possibilities. Please never loose your sense of humour! 😊

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi David, thanks so much for stumbling on my channel, your comments are much appreciated!

Sitting here watching from Australia I loved every minute of the video. Wonderful to see so many people proud of their country and heritage.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi there, many thanks for your comment. It was one of the most popular Cruises that Cunard put on all year. Sold out in 48 hours.

[@simonhicks5222]

I thought for a moment that I spotted a lady taking afternoon tea in the Queen's Room in a 'hoodie'. I can only believe that my eyes were deceiving me for surely the only honourable course for a Cunard captain in this situation would be to set course for the nearest iceberg and erase the lingering disgrace. Greatly enjoyed the trip report, you are a great match for showing the QM2 off to non-cruisers because you are somewhat of this tribe of brits but also detached enough from them not to take it entirely seriously either!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video! Had there been a lady in a hoodie I'm sure the staff would have locked her in the broom cupboard!

[@Ben-Bzrt]

What a wonderful video! Clicked on it coincidentally and it's my favorite Queen Mary video I've seen. Feels exactly like those fun long travel advertisements from the 50s, just perfect!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Ben, thanks so much for your lovely feedback!

Lovely video Bill. Looking forward to the next one.

It was very special cruise, and beautifully captured the Coronation spirit!

They don't do elegant napkin folding anymore? Those napkin rolls make you feel like you are in a bistro.

I feel we should have a strong word with the Maitre D!!

Proud to be British ❤ I know I would be if I was there - and I am not even British 😊

Charles was not ‘coronated’, for heavens sake! He was crowned.

[@ritzytravelguide]

It comes from the Latin word: Coronatus, to be crowned. en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/coronatus

[@marklomax7452]

Coronated?

[@ritzytravelguide]

It's caused some debate, me saying this ! I thought it was a word... but there seems to be some question mark over it!

[@user-dp3bw3xf3i]

Great content tho why are we seeing so much of you ?

[@ritzytravelguide]

?

[@robertwilson738]

For goodness sake there is no such word as coronated. Charles was crowned

[@eclairtreo]

No biggie.

[@MadameEster]

Actually it does exist it’s meaning it’s of wearing a crown, coronet or the like.

[@ritzytravelguide]

@@MadameEster Thanks, I'm not going mad 🙂

Worse nightmare a ship full of brexiteers 😂

[@ritzytravelguide]

Not sure, didn't ask them!

[@andrewhalket4129]

Was incredibly cheap (as was organised last minute because the QM2 had a fault that resulted in a cancelled transatlantic). Was about 25% of the price per cabin per night that other cruises cost. No wonder it sold out very quickly. Not sure I could have put up with all that excessive flag waving though....

[@Imeraldgyrl]

@@andrewhalket4129 are you serious? 😮

[@ritzytravelguide]

Yes indeed, was £199 for inside Cabin, £249 for ocean view, and £599 for Grill.... Can't remember the last time (if ever) Grill went for that price

[@Imeraldgyrl]

@@ritzytravelguide this is about the same amount as a 4 day cruise from Los Angeles to Ensenada, with two days at sea.
