Join me for a look at the coastal city of Civitavecchia in Italy, often referred to as the port of Rome and a popular cruise terminal. It's not known as a holiday destination in itself, more a place to start or end a cruise or to disembark to take day trip to Rome and the surrounding area, but in this video I'll look at what the city has to offer, whether it be for a few hours or a few days.

      Hi, thank you so much for watching my video. No you don’t need to dress up every night, but it’s important to say a lot of people do and choose Cunard especially for that reason. On the non-Gaia nights the men don’t need to wear a jacket or tie. You don’t have to dress up any night if you don’t want to - the lido buffet restaurant and the pub are very relaxed. There are a mix of people onboard, some choose not to dress up and that’s fine, but it’s important to say a lot of passengers choose Cunard especially for the formality. I hope you give it a try and have a great time!

    Hi, love the classic look of the ship. Can you tell me if the deck chairs along the promenade are open to anyone to use?

      Hi, thank you so much for watching. Yes she’s a classic. Anyone can use the deck chairs on deck 3, the promenade deck. It’s a lovely deck to relax on.

    Thank you, I enjoyed watching. I cruised on the Queen Victoria in 2018 and 2019, Princess Grill with my mother, we brought on board vodka and sherry, and I don't remember security at all...do they check hand luggage now? The vodka was in my hand luggage and the sherry in Mum's suitcase. I didn't realise there was a weight limit, I'm sure I was over 20kg with each suitcase! Thanks to FCC due to cancelled cruises in 2020, my husband and I are going transatlantic on the QM2 next summer but Britannia balcony this time. I didn't realise the extra charge for room service, no one else mentioned this!

      Hi, I’m so pleased you enjoyed watching my guide! Thank you for taking the time to comment. You can still bring a bottle or two of wine or spirits onboard - that’s fine. I hope you have a great transatlantic trip. The room service is free. Best wishes

    I’m booked on this ship in November 24. Looking forward to it but I’m just worried it might be too formal for me. I’ve been on many cruises in my life and tend to prefer freestyle without the need for black tie etc. is smart casual ok? Or do I need to be taking my Sunday best?

    • @timstravelguides
      @timstravelguides 11 місяців тому

      Hi Jonathan, a lot of people do book Cunard specifically as it’s more formal than other cruise lines and the majority dress up every evening. Not everyone likes dressing up all the time so there are options to eat in the buffet restaurant or go to the pub onboard where the dress code is more relaxed. I’d suggest you take a couple of smart clothing items to keep your options open. I hope you have a great cruise.

    Another beautifully narrated video. I'm wondering if when you are recording from your phone, if the pole allows it to go into a horizontal position? The result would be the footage filling the screen. Looking forward to the next video.

      Hi, thank you for the lovely feedback as always! I appreciate the constructive suggestion too. I don’t use a selfie pole, I just hold it with my hand which makes it tricky to do horizontally, but I know it doesn’t look as good unfortunately. I’ll keep working on how I can improve. Thank you so much for watching!!

    We are taking a cruise next summer from New York City to Southampton and then on to Hamburg. Sadly, our allotment of time will be exhausted shortly after we arrive in Germany--and it's doubly painful because the QM2 continues on from Hamburg up the coast to visit the fjords as you did. Ah, well, we'll still have ten days aboard the QM2 with a port of call in Southampton and then a few days in Germany before flying back to the States.

      @@timstravelguides Thanks for the well wishes. It would have been nice to include the fjords on this trip since the QM2 is going there immediately after we get to Germany. Alas, time and money sometimes interfere with what we'd rather do. 🙂

    Thank you for posting this video. It was informative and the relaxed manner in your narration was most enjoyable. It has helped me with my planning of our next cruise. QV does remind me of Queen Elizabeth, not surprisingly, I suppose, since they are sister ships.
