Never seen a kettle and tea selection in an inside cabin before. Is that standard or is it a perk with your Crown & Anchor/travel agent status?
Do you like to try Specialty Dining when you cruise? Why or why not?! Let me know in the comments! 🍽️
Hey This is my first time checking out your channel. I am going on the jewel on 1/23/24 that's just around the corner. I'm going to Belize. It's a 9 day cruise. I'm super excited, we're going out of Galveston. I have ocean view on the 3rd floor awesome, and I was a little concerned, but it's good to hear about the you don't hear too much i always check my dining table because I do vlog. So much and I like to be next to the window. And I'm glad to know that they Still have fun. I looked at the cruise compass and I saw the balloon drop. That is so exciting for me. They did that on the grandeur. So much fun I'm considering doing Giovanni's table. I'm not sure. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.And i'm a solo cruiser too actually I am a solo cruise vlogger p, s. Glad you took that 7 days. Out of the country on your own, I bet you that might have been hard but kudos to you Great Video🤗
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a wonder time! The crew was great and the ship is easy to navigate! The third floor is near the dining and centrum so it’s near the entertainment! I did a Belize cave tubing excursion with m daughter you might enjoy. I have it under my playlist “cruise the Caribbean”. Solo travel is a challenge but after 5 solo cruises it’s fun! Enjoy! Happy cruising!☀️🚢
What is your favorite spot to visit in Singapore? Let me know in the comments! 🚴
Thanks to you, we just booked this hotel for our pre cruise!
Thanks so much! It’s a good place for your cruise launch! Happy cruising! Enjoy!☀️🚢
Thank you
Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
But they now dock in YECH Brooklyn. I don't go over to Brooklyn.
I refuse to board at Brooklyn! It's dangerous, inconvenient, ugly. They used to dock on the Hudson River in midtown, Manhattan. Why I wonder were they made to drag over to YECH! Brooklyn?? When they return to Manhattan, I'll come back to Cunard.
She'll be retired by then.
amazing video! we booked the same cabin, many thanks!!!!!!!!!
Nice! I liked being near the dining, the centrum and the water line! You’ll like it! Happy cruising! 😊☀️🚢
At 4:42 ... it's not a cruise ... it's a CROSSING. :)
Yes! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Internet costs are OUTRAGEOUS. $300 for the week. I take QM2 twice a year.
A good week to unplug!
@@BonVoyageCruiseTravel I work in the business ... I HAVE to stay connected. Otherwise I'd agree. Wonder of the $300 how much is mark up?
@@watchtellyinuk Markup is $285.00
@ probably a huge markup! I understand!☀️🚢
She is QM2 not QE2 in the video strapline.
Thank you!
@ the author has changed it now. It originally said QE2 but now altered to QM2.
How will you arrive to the port? Let me know in the comments!
I’ll be on the Queen Elizabeth next year & since I’m staying in New York 3 days before the cruise I’ll talk a UBER to the cruise terminal. I’ll try & find out how you get Priority boarding. It will be my 1st cruise with Cunard so I’m looking forward to the White Glove experience. Thanks for your excellent video.
Yours is the Best Video that I have seen of the Regal. Thanks for sharing with us. I’ve had 43 cruises with Princess, but never on the Regal, so your video will help a lot.
Thanks so much! I had fun in the Regal. It isn’t the newest, but the crowd and crew were great! Happy cruising and thanks for watching!☀️🚢
We’re headed out of New Orleans on Brilliance in 43 days! I’m so excited!🤗
Nice! Have a great time!☀️🚢
What month is this?
October!
What a nice spacious gym.
It’s super nice. 👍 You forget you’re on a ship! Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
Bonny, it's so wonderful to find your Regal Princess playlist. I just booked the seven day cruise for the first week of December. Looking forward to my first fully adult, fine dining cruise. Your dining reviews have been really informative and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the shows and entertainment. It is the Love Boat, after all! Hope to see you aboard some day.
Have a fun time! Thanks so much for watching!! Don’t miss the shows and “The voice of the ocean” finale is awesome! Try the Italian or steakhouse for something special! Extra of course. Happy cruising!☀️🚢
You’re teasing everyone with all those outlets. 😂
Thanks for watching! You gotta have outlets! Happy cruising!☀️🚢
Curious if you hear the deck chairs above the room. Based on the maps, I am in that room for 14 day cruise in February, and it looks like there are deck chairs on deck 11 above where that room is.
That's a great question! I did not notice them while I was in the room! I think the room was above the walkway entrance to the chairs if I recall correctly. It was a short cruise and I was out and about, but it was a nice room. Happy Cruising! ☀️🚢
When I travel, I bring plastic ties, duct tape, and items that would do a temporary repairs. Most luggage are cheaply made from China since consumers look at the price. I recommend buying the canvas material , they do not crack, like plastic. the support for the wheels are poorly designed and made. Try to place the heavy items on the bottom near the wheels for balance. I also travel with a backpack verses an open bag that you need to carry. IMO
Thanks for the advice! That's very smart to have that kind of repair kit on hand! I think I will try canvas for a change. Plastic is not working after 7 broken wheels!
Were 1st time Alaskan Princess cruisers. Can you get more then one plate for dinner?
My husband asks for two portions sometimes as he is ordering say pork or lobster. They will just bring extra on one plate. I think the like to know when you order initially, so they can put in two orders. We never had a problem, we weren’t charged extra.
Thank you!!@@BonVoyageCruiseTravel
Would you take the MRT to explore Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay? Let me know what you think!
Booking a cloud9 balcony soon, what deck is better, deck 10 or 11? Both have cloud 9 balcony rooms
It’s a matter of preference. 10 is where I was and you just walked up the stairs to the spa and the pool was on 9. Deck 11 is on the spa level so you can walk directly into the spa, but you are 2 levels up from the pool. Enjoy yourself! ☀️🚢
Thank you. This really helped me so much.
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching! 😊☀️🚢
Thanks Ladies, going there in April 25 on a cruise, looks really beautiful place!
Thanks so much for watching! It was a nice port stop. It was fun to walk around a see the church. Try to get out to the beaches. It’s really beautiful. ☀️
I have no issue with an obstructed balcony. It is fun to watch them decant the life boats them when they use them as tenders. We have also had the obstructed balcony at the front of the QM2, where it is encased with metal rather than glass. No issues at all.
I agree. I would be curious about the front obstructed balcony. Was there a door to go out or just a porthole view? Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
Would you consider an obstructed balcony room? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments!
A week today I'll be boarding QM2 for my sixteenth voyage on board her (twenty with Cunard on four ships). I can't wait. To say I love this vessel, the only Ocean Liner in the world still in service, is a vast understatement. I first crossed the Atlantic in 2006 on board QM2, my first time with Cunard... intended as a one-time sailing. Was I wrong!
That is amazing! I would imagine if you stepped onto QM2 and experienced the service and wonderful programs awhile ago, it would be hard to switch to anything else! I did appreciate their fine touches! ( the afternoon tea is so fun!). Thanks for the insight. Happy Cruising!
Active. There will be plenty of time for silence in the grave.
Yes. Correct. Sound rules.
😂thanks for watching!☀️🚢
Booked on round trip transatlantic in October 2025. Bucket list trip
Nice! It’s good to experience the elegance and tradition of Cunard. It was so British and enjoyable! Enjoy your cruise!🚢
I’m on the same sailing! Perhaps we will meet at some point.
I was on that sailing. Too many old people. But i got across the pond which was my goal. So it served it's purpose.
It was an older crowd but not entirely! I saw younger people mainly with other friends or relatives. Lots of interesting people at any rate! It was a nice experience for me personally! Happy travels!
Guess where you're going... yes... old person in just a few years (it happens far quicker than you can imagine). Let's hope no-one young complains about you.
@martynmiller4247 I'm already older. That's not the point. The people acted like they were in an old folks home, especially the Carintha lounge. I went in there once and did a bee turn. Anyone that doesn't think that are the ones who are just like that. Most look like they should be in rehab instead of sitting and eating all day.
I guess only older people have the good taste to travel on this amazing ocean liner QE II ,definitely not for the noisy crowds !
@adelaferreira4575 Definitely not for noisy passengers and that's why I sailed on it (QM2).
Were you able to get out of your tubes and explore and swim inside the cave??
No! You could walk with the tubes outside of the caves towards the end. There were a few groups inside. The tour people led the tubes along. There is a cenote there, it might have access from another area because there were steps. It was fun!
Do you recall what time you were able to enter your stateroom? I don't use the porter as I like to get fully unpacked by 3pm. I had an experience once where I did not get my luggage until after dinner, as what happened to you.
I think it was after 1p. I think if you can get in early, things come early, but it’s hard to say. It has over 6000 people if it’s full! Bring a bag with extra things you might wear just for n case it’s late. Or if you have late sitting it should be fine! Enjoy! ☀️🚢
Do you like quiet or active areas of the dining room? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments!
This video was helpful! Thx!
That’s good to hear! Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
We are scheduled for the west bound crossing Sept 2025. We have a Queens Grill Suite booked. So looking forward to it.
That sounds so nice! I know people really enjoyed the suites!! Enjoy every moment! Happy cruising! ☀️🚢
We have been on her earlier this year in Australia....and are booked for 3 back to back cruises in March....such a nostalgic ship
It was so fun to experience such tradition and grandeur! Great time! Lucky you foe your future cruises. Have a great time! ☀️🚢
Doing this solo myself next week as partner didn’t fancy it flying out to New York on Monday morning for sailing on the Tuesday can’t wait been a long time coming
It will be fun! It is hard to realize you are piloting your own fun but you will get use to it and enjoy it! Content ups if you are interested in meeting people traveling solo! Have a great time! ☀️🚢
Loved this overview! As someone in his early 30s, I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed my time on QM2 - what a beautiful experience from start to finish!
Thanks so much. I agree it was a great experience! Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
Thank you, I really appreciate the Solo experoence
You're welcome! Glad it helped. ☀️🚢
Yes! They have wonderful entertainment and enriching presentations on their ships.
Correct. Cunard is traditional too.
I did a Westbound Crossing about a month ago. As a solo traveler, I opted for fixed dining. Same people every night. I usually went to the solo traveler met ups after breakfast, about a dozen or so regulars. 3 Guest Speakers I went to see, A lady from Woods Hole, a retired US Ambassador and Stephen Payne, designer of QM2. Having done it once, now I understand meeting people on board who were doing their fifth or sixth crossing
Good for you doing the meet ups! I was curious about that but didn’t attempt it. There is a fair amount of return cruisers and I can see why! Thanks for watching!
Doing just what I did next week can’t wait
Do they have tv programs or just about the queen mary
There are several live satellite channels (mostly news) , movie channels (including French and Japanese on my October sailing) , replay of the 'insights' lectures and a live bridge camera.
They have their own channel as well as movies and other shows. I didn’t really watch tv but I know there is a selection.
Thanks for the in-depth reply! That is so helpful!
January 2026 51 days to Sydney Australia.
Wow. That’s a dream! Enjoy!☀️🚢
Just came back today from this ship. Nov 17-24.
I enjoyed their island and the ship! Perfect time of year! ☀️🚢
What free dining options? They neither free nor are they complimentary which means free because you have paid for all of that already in your cruise fare. Cruise lines giving something for free you have to be kidding.
Let’s say “no additional cost”! We all pay for the food with the cost of our ticket! The specialty restaurants are not included and are additional $!
@@BonVoyageCruiseTravel That is not really correct either, there cannot be. additional cost if you have paid for the meals in your cruise fare. Then we have complimentary and complementary.
Would you travel on the Queen Mary 2? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments!
Great content 👌
Thanks for watching!
I've been to London and Paris before and I totally understand what you're saying those stairs will literally take out all the energy that you have in you when you have luggage so I get it
Haha for real. I am now mentally prepared. Pack light!
I'm getting ready to take my mom over to London for the first time we're going to do a 12 day cruise on NCL Encore and I told her the same thing I was like pack l ight. We are going to celebrate her 73rd birthday.
@ amazing. Have a wonderful time and sometimes there are elevators. Just look around for people with strollers! Enjoy!
@BonVoyageCruiseTravel lol lol right. Those strollers will take you out lol. Thanks so much.
