[@paulconnors2078]

Yaaayyyyy! I get to leave the first comment AGAIN! Once again, I am glad to see your review of Cunard's services and food. Well done as always.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's our pleasure- thank you so much for being 1st & the nice comment! 😊

[@fen0000]

There are now cabins on deck 13 forward position. Added, I believe, when the ship underwent a refit and renovation in 2016

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Good to know!

[@maravonda]

Thank you so much! I will be watching these 2 videos again before our Christmas cruise this year. I find your videos to be very pleasant to watch....no jarring music, for example. The little tips you gave at the end will be very helpful! Thank you again!!!!!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the videos and the background music. Thank you so much for the comment! 😊 Christmas on the QM2- that is special!

[@martyg.1890]

Hello! How was your Christmas cruise? We are planning to book it for 2025, and I would love to hear your experience! 😊

[@GiantJake]

I appreciate your videos as prep/excitement for our first time next year

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure! Have a wonderful time!

Beautiful ship.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes! And very historic as well!

[@bluebird2833]

The food look amazing- I’ll be at the sushi section every single day lol Thanks for this great video.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They certainly had one of the best buffet food qualities for sure- thanks so much for the comment! 😊

[@jlawrence0181]

That looks like a fun cruise. My DW keeps talking about getting a ... tuxedo. Great video, like usual.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊 Definitely a fascinating experience with excellent food quality!

[@mikeh2006]

I bought my tux yesterday. All part of the fun

[@editkatona7794]

Great video, thanks a lot. Can't wait to embark in a few months time. :)

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- have a great time on the amazing QM2! 🙂

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

Excellent and comprehensive information! Thanks so much again.

Nice tour and great info. Thanks and take care.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much Karen- you too! 😊

[@trekmountain9788]

really beautifully presented video. Thanks 👌

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@donnamanitu8673]

Thank you for showing all the closeups and descriptions of the food. I am very interested because I am gluten free and I can see that I will be well taken care of on the Queen Mary 2.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes the QM2 had some of the most gluten-free options we've seen on any ship. Have a wonderful sailing! 🙂

[@emb74]

Very nice video. Nice and stable delivery- some videos make you seasick! We've been on the QM2 8 times and they always had waiters in the Royal Court Theater offering drink service. Maybe that changed since Covid?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 Yeah it was probably because the staff was just overburdened- they did provide good service overall.

[@KMA66]

Excellent video! Lots of new information and tips.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much- glad it was helpful! 🙂

[@yabbadabbadoo8225]

Full Creds to the people who make these fantastic clips. My cruise experience usually involves meeting fellow soaks and spend the days and nites in a constant haze right up to boot off day

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@nasgorseleranusantara]

Amazing cruise ship.. Love it

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's a really nice ship especially for good food & service 🙂

[@guykerner1710]

Thank you for the video. All around nice camera work. Great shots of food, all restaurants,, menus, prices, venues. What time of year was this? Looked a bit cool but sunny. The ship is a future goal of ours. Thanks for a video that inspires me to keep working toward that goal.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊 This was in June, and yes the wind chill was still quite cold during the middle of the voyage. Hope you guys get to go on the QM2 sooner than later!

[@sallyannc3176]

We went on a Queen Elizabeth cruise to Alaska in late June and the buffet there wasn't served but you helped yourelf, likewise the drinks. Tbh I think it looks a much nicer - tho smaller- ship that the QM2, better lay out too. We're going on the new Queen Anne next year, hoping it'll be as nice.

[@deniceiscooking]

Very informative!!! I'd like to ask if I can take buffet drinks (juice) out of their respective room and take them, for instance, to the library, promenade or games room? Also, is room service not charged a service fee? Because another creator said he was charged at the end of his voyage. Thanks!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 Queen Mary 2 was kind of strict about no drinks at the theatre, but don't remember hearing anything about the other places, so most likely it's okay. Room service is free (rare nowadays for sure), though premium drinks do cost extra of course. Here is the official word by Cunard: www.cunard.com/en-us/activity-types/dining/room-service-24-hours

[@deniceiscooking]

@@TravelTouristVideos thank you so much. Can't wait for February for our first time on QM2!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

@@deniceiscooking Have a wonderful time! Gonna be a lot of great food! 😋

[@tonyterzza9251]

You masked up in the lift before entering the Kings Court dining area but I didn't see you use the hand gel. tut tut !!!

[@Bryan19777]

I see a lot of packages and prices when looking at tours. Cant you just walk on the boat and explore it? Im not from cali so idk. Theres also a haunted tour?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Hi I believe you're referring to the original Queen Mary which is a museum in Long Beach. I think you have to book a tour or hotel to get on the ship, and yes there is a Haunted Encounters tour.

[@Bryan19777]

@@TravelTouristVideos Ty I must be on the wrong video

[@bbrruuccee2]

I'll be sailing in 2 weeks and thankfully they've installed Starlink, so that remedies the internet issue fyi

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That's great news- hopefully the new, faster service is also reasonably priced.

I wish we could take our chihuahua with us on our cruise. She doesn’t like strangers though.

[@angelaherring5443]

@Blank Field mine is very aggressive with strangers. That’s why we can’t take her with us.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Aw- give her a pat on the head for us! 🙂

[@mikeh2006]

The qm2 has kennels

[@allanritz5323]

Curious. Did you pass any other ships such as freighters going in the other direction?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We didn't notice any other ships, but wouldn't be surprised that some freight ships use a similar route

[@juniperdog5523]

What did you think of the kids club? Did your son use it?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

He thought it was okay, especially since was only able to once or twice because of capacity issues. Here's a sample schedule of activities: kzbin.infoxUlY_tiKE8M

[@juniperdog5523]

@@TravelTouristVideos Capacity issues hey ?! I wonder if it is still at lower capacity…

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup we were surprised too- would love to hear how it goes for you folks if you do go!

[@pratipjitmondal8923]

Best site for qm2 booking???

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Look for ones that give you the best onboard credits and or cashback. Also if you own 100 shares of Carnival stock you can get free onboard credits to add on top of those as well.

[@angelaherring5443]

Salmon sashimi mmmmmmmmm! I would get so fat if I ate on a cruise ship all the time! I’m not skinny now.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

The sashimi, which was available for two lunches, was a very pleasant surprise- no other cruise buffet we've seen had it. But we can relate- it's hard to resist all the amazing food! 😋 Thank you so much for the comment Angela! 😊

[@paullau3835]

The King’s Court food look ordinary- like shopping mall food court food - for this 5 star ship?

[@sallyannc3176]

Wearing masks outside - especaily in the fresh, windy weather on board a ship - is completely unnecessary. Impossble to transmit anything! Better to fill your lungs with all that good air. i

[@chrisclarke7828]

If this was 6 months ago no one was wearing masks at the time. It does avoid encountering some ugly people but you still need close one eye.

[@dolliemaesone]

I can’t understand a word the pet area manager says with mask on

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Oliver the Kennel Master was saying that the $800 per pet fee includes food which can include whatever you want for your dog or cat such as chicken breast, salmon, etc. He also mentioned that he's been doing the job for 11 years!

[@jimhafer212]

food looks nasty
