Was it a MISTAKE to CRUISE transatlantic in an inside cabin? Cunard Queen Mary 2 Cabin Tour & Review

Was it a mistake to do a transatlantic cruise / voyage in an inside cabin? Here's my comprehensive tour and review of cabin 6217 on board Cunard Queen Mary 2 and whether I managed for 6 nights in an inside cabin on a transatlantic from the UK to the USA!

Very welcome 🙏

One of the very best reviews of Queen Mary 2 ,if not the best !! 👏👏👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🛳🇬🇧💕💞

Thank you 🙏

Great vlog of an inside cabin…think I’d be happy with that 😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Luckily I was ok 👌 😂

[@mtedwards]

​ @TravelBlogJamie there are lots of vlogs about the Queens and Princess cabins/suites but not many on the inside cabins.

[@finnmccool5272]

Thank you so much for the tour Jamie! I’m gonna be taking this voyage to Southampton in a few years as part of a longer journey to Istanbul without flying, it will probably be the most glamorous part of my trip.

Your hair dryer test always makes me laugh 😁. That cabin looks nice and comes really handy like you said when solo traveling. Very sensible 👌👍tip.

Hi Jamie yes its a great size that cabin its got everything you need and saved money too fantastic I'm going in a inside cabin when I go on Iona in October fantastic video ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏

[@live2skide1]

The breakfast delivery is the best choice of food, and comes hot and fresh! Highly recommend it. We only ate in the buffet once on each voyage, and that was disembarkation day in May and in June. Great cabin tour.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏

[@Andrea-sl3ey]

Aww, Jamie, you are bringing back many, many happy memories for me. My first ever cruise was solo in an inside cabin on QM2 on a 4 week Transatlantic & New England/Canada voyage on the lovely QM2. She may be a little mature but is so graceful and a joy to travel on. Am back on QM2 in August, but will be enjoying the Grills this time. That first cruise is still one of my all time favourites though. I really hope that despite her quirks and Cunard’s current shortcomings, you have had a super, super time on board.

[@karenaitken642]

I am more than happy in an inside cabin, especially if it's rocky as it makes me ill to see it ! 😊 ... that inside cabin looks lush. Thanks Jamie 😊 x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

No rockiness on this ship!

[@begonamayoral6108]

I absolutely love every video released. Next august my hubby and I will be on Queen Victoria from Barcelona to Rome. It will be out first cruise and we are binging your channel, its so hilarious and useful. Plus I must say your voice is soooo relaxing to me 😊 Lots of love and hugs ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank youuuuu

[@crockerbd]

Glad you enjoyed the QM2 Jamie - my favorite ship. I am about to embark on my 3rd solo cruise on July 27th - NY to Hamburg. And then Christmas in the Caribbean. Have a single cabin for both. You should check out those. There is so much room, and the singles have a glass enclosed shower (since they were added during a refit) - lol.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Alas they were actually more expensive than this insider cabin!

[@irenedavo3768]

Have fun!

Really good cabin, travelling solo you would more than likely be socialising in any case so perfect i would say

Thank youuuu

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Great review. The Mary is the only one of the current Cunard fleet we’ve not travelled on. Just back from Norway on the Queen Anne. Lots of positives, but it does feel a bit crowded compared with the QV and QE. Only 20,000 tons more but 50% more passengers. Same number of lifts as the smaller vessels and the Artisan food hall at its busiest was a bit of a scrum. Bravo to you for opting for an inside cabin. Not sure I could cope with that - just like a window and balcony.

I would love to be able to use inside cabins but terrified of being seasick with no access to fresh air in cabin if feeling ill. I do use stugeron and have crossed bay of Biscay in windy weather in balcony cabin on MSC.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Luckily QM2 is an ocean liner and built for rough seas - I barely felt a thing for the whole crossing

Looks very spacious for an inside. Quick question Jamie, the half bottle of bubbly in the fridge, is that only for consumption in the cabin, or are you allowed to take it to dinner?xx

For consumption in the cabin (although I did carry a glass of bubbles out and about with me)

With two sharing a cabin, is the cost double that of one person or is there a price break for the second person?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It doesn’t work like that. The standard occupancy for this cabin is 2. There’s no price break for a second person in a cabin as that’s standard.

Inside cabin for a transatlantic?!

[@m.m.4645]

Yes, why not. Actually, we have crossed the Atlantic mostly in insides because of the cold and mainly expected bad weather in the winter months. Why pay an arm and a leg for a balcony in November or December? We prefer to cruise more often per year than spending a lot for a balcony cabin that would mean we can only cruise less. We are retired by the way and unlucky to not have a goose that lays golden eggs.
