Great tour - I always love having a look around this ship! I was so surprised onboard to find all those little museum-like sections - some fascinating background information to this ship! Also, I disagree re: Monopoly - one of my favourites, haha!

Cheers, Fraser, it's a great ship to poke around on. There is so much to see - You should try Brass Birmingham. It's currently the number one rated game. Monopoly comes in at 26,570. Just sayin!' 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Cheers, guys. Thanks for watching. Hope all is good in the 'hood. 👍

I'd like to cruise on QM2. It looks so much nicer than the new Queen Anne. I like the more traditional feel. Thanks for a great ship tour.

Thanks, Joan. If you can't get to the ship, it's our pleasure to bring it to you! Thanks for watching 👍

I have watched this and the other video and I think it's horses for courses. Cunard are different to other cruises (in that it's not a cruise) and I think you were expecting what you'd get on a cruise line, not a liner. Ask for the wine menu - or for your favourite wine - when you order your food. Don't sit there waiting for someone to come around offering "red or white?". We meet with the wine team at the start of each week and they always offer great ideas and tasting. Anyway, thanks for the videos.

You may well be right, and that could be why there is only one ocean liner remaining! 😀 Although, as you can see, we loved the ship. I also think that you are right about our expectations. We expected good service. To be introduced to the wine selection on day one would have been part of that. On our previous cruises there has always been more choice than just house 🍷or 🥂. Or if things are different to have that explained to us as part of the service. I think something went awry with the movement of staff to Queen Anne. Thanks for watching both our videos. It is appreciated.

@@TravellingLightLisa Yes, that's another thing; no matter where you are, don't order food until you've been served aperitifs (unless you had them before going to restaurant) and make sure wine is ordered before food. We would never touch food before wine was delivered!

A really good ships tour and well narrated, thank you. Disappointed for you that this cruise fell short of expectations. 🙏

That kind of you to say. I suppose you can't win them all, but the ship did compensate somewhat, and we still had a good time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

Thanks. That was useful. I was looking for a pic of the coffee machine in Sir Samuels to confirm it was a Cimbali M39 DT/3. Had lunch out at Mandelieu-la-Napoule yesterday and a cafe there had a (bigger) M39 DT/4. We were sipping wine waiting for the train home when I spotted it, but we'll be back there for morning coffee next time. Should have said; we're only interested in Chart Room, Sir Samuel's, Queens Room, G32, Britannia Club port side, Grand Lobby and we do like walking down those stairs in Britannia heading to Club restaurant. Then you could just have concentrated on them! 🤣 But you covered lots in a fairly short video. And we only use lifts when taking luggage on or off, helps let you eat more. Oh, we like the gym too.

Another great and informative video. I’m sure you said there is an “interesting Muriel on the back wall”. I wondered why I hadn’t seen my great Aunt for the last couple of years 😅

She is a beautiful ship. She should apparently be around for another 20 years, so you have a bit of time to look. Thanks for watching 👍

Another excellent and informative video. Your painting of your dog was very good. I also liked your humour as always but I do have to disagree about the monopoly. It is a great board game!!

Definitely getting the feeling you’re more MSC party ship than Cunard liner. That’s ok. Horses for courses.

Lol. Never fancied MSC for that exactly that reason. Lisa is usually asleep by 10! Thanks for watching 👍

What a brilliant tour ! Looks a stunning ship .. love the detail and finesse… So it looks exactly like the opulent cruise liner that you expect Cunard to be. And does Cunard have a Monopoly on posh cruises??? Based on your experience you’d have to say “No”…Did the pre-cruise information questionnaire ask you what your favourite board game was by any chance ??? Just thinking ??? … Another brilliant video - Thx Guys

Thanks both. She is a very elegant vessel. Totally different to any ship we have been on before. Monopoly is very divisive. Thanks for watching 👍 It's always appreciated

Can someone tell me what the water is like for teas etc? On the Queen Anne the water was so chlorine tasting that we couldn't drink the tea as it was so strong. Thanks

We didn't use the kettle in the room as it was really grubby so we never tried the tap water. (See our cabin review next week). The tea in the MDR and buffet was fine, though. Thanks for watching 👍

Starlink not Skylink. slightly underwhelmed with it on Queen Anne - not quite as good as people have made out

Thanks for that. 😁 👍 I wonder if it is affected by weather and atmospherics. We rarely go for the wifi packages. It's nice to disconnect. Thanks for watching 👍

Interesting and fair, as always, but we got the feeling this was not one of your favourite cruises? It looked more like an exclusive residential complex than a cruise liner.
