I think it's a mistake to try to evaluate _Queen Mary 2_ , or Cunard, based on cruising experiences: This is an ocean liner, in the tradition of her namesake, _Mauretania_ , and _Carmania_ . Ocean liners, while luxurious, are designed to take people and cargo to a destination quickly and comfortably. Cruise ships are designed for leisure and entertainment for as many people as possible at a time. They are not designed to forge their way through storms. Even cruising on _QM2_ should be expected to be a different experience from cruising on an actual cruise ship: both are better at their own experience. I have heard that _QM2_ is a maze to navigate. This is part of her design as an ocean liner: Because she is designed to weather Atlantic storms and meet her schedule, dining and entertainment venues are mostly located low down, toward the center of the ship. That way passengers experience much less of the ship's roll and pitch while there. By the same token, cabins nearer the top deck, as well as close to the sides or the bow and stern, will experience more pitch and roll. I have heard it advised that if you know you are likely to experience motion sickness, you should try to book a cabin in a low deck, as deep as you can, and as close to the centerline as you can. Of course, you can always get an anti-seasickness injection, although that apparently knocks you out for a day. As there are events and lectures to attend throughout a crossing, I think the idea is to experience as many of those as possible, although different people will want different things, including lounging on deck or in your cabin. That's why you don't have to dress in your formals for dinner, you can always go to one of the a la cartes, I believe. I think part of _QM2_ 's popularity is from the novelty of doing the crossing: It's the closest we can now get to experiencing the _Titanic_ , _Lusitania_ , and other legendary liners (although hopefully without their often-tragic ends). But there is also the aspect that some people are afraid of flying, and that's okay. Ships and trains provide alternate methods of travel. And then there are the rail and ship-fans, who would go on trains and ships anyway.
No theme park attractions? Sign me up. I’ve travelled all round the World on real liners, no cabin tv and no sideshow crap. Enjoyed every single minute but we had worldly sophisticated passengers who were so interesting to talk with. QM2 is a liner not a cruise ship though she does cruise off season.
For those who are whining about lack of usb ports, just buy a "65W Multi 6 Port USB Type-C Charging Station Hub Tower", "Universal USB & Type C Tower" or something similar to these 2. Just plug it, then you have plenty of USB ports you can use. Ok, next.
The reason there is no modern tech in the cabins is due to the advanced age of the average QEII passengers, many of whom were born before the invention of electricity. Many are still trying to get used to this new wireless thing (radio). Voices coming out of the ether? Preposterous!
I appreciate that everyone has different priorities. We have no desire to have in cabin entertainment. Our aim is to be around the ship and active other than when sleeping, showering and dressing up. For us with no mobility issues it would be a waste of money to travel on QM2 and stay in our cabin. And I keep reading comments about USB sockets. They might be useful in public areas but what spec of USB would they fit in the cabins? Our current phones use 30W and 33W charging. The next ones are likely to be at least 58W. We're much happier to bring our own and know that devices will charge at the usual speed.
I sail to England on the QM2 once a year, afte a nice stay I sail her back to NY. Its a great option to flying and if you book an inside cabin its pretty affordable.
Best way to travel. It’s a completely different experience from the typical cruise. We’ve crossed 4 times and looking forward to number 5 in September. It’s a chance to travel back in time with the highest level of service today.
Great video, thank you! We've just done a festive QM2 7 night transatlantic crossing from New York. We had a sheltered balcony cabin, flight to New York and $150 each obc. We thought it was amazing value for £1,369 each. In addition we had 2 half bottles of sparkling wine in our cabin, a glass of sparkling wine on Gala night, drinks at the Captain's welcome, drinks at the senior officers' cocktail party and a complimentary wine tasting. I couldn't believe how much was included for the price. We've booked again for Queen Anne in August.
@@herenow6953 I know it was excellent. Queen Anne is not such a bargain. £950 each for 7 nights Norwegian Fjords in an inside cabin with only $100 OBC and free parking. Not sure why the transatlantic was so cheap.
Did anyone realize that the "Original Queen Mary in Long Beach California," get a complete refit as "The Queen Mary Long Beach Hotel last year and she looks beautiful?"
Hi Dan and Jay, I thought of this as I watched, Those little things missing in the cabin, the tv variety, the plugs, and such, I thought to myself, maybe they left them out, intentionally, to keep the style of Old World Cruising in tact, without the modern amenities, you would find on other cruise lines?? If you aren't distracted by thrill and media, you "Would" focus on the suite life while aboard, so QM2 keeps her originality in World Cruising. I'm troubled that service and attention to detail, ranged from outstanding to "not so good." Hmmm I wonder where that disconnect in staff takes place? I'm at least glad Queens Grill was pleasing for you.
My husband and I travelled on this marvellous liner a number of times. Wonderful wonder experience every time. Sadly my husband passed away 3 years ago we had some many more cruises planned for our retirement but sadly this was not to be. Not brave enough to go on my own just yet but would love too !!!
As a widow I’ve cruised alone for over 20 years. Nothing to be anxious about. You will have a fantastic time. I’m sorry you lost your husband. Mine died aged 50 well over 20 years ago. It’s a brilliant holiday for singles. There’s tons of us on board. Married couples are friendly too.
I use RMS QM2 as transportation across the Atlantic...unless you are rich enough for a private plane....its the only way to cross the Atlantic comfortably IMHO.
I’ve been on Mary five times it’s a wonderful ship unfortunately some cruisers think there on four in a bed , she may be old but she still looks magnificent
Just came back from a December 2023 TA in Queen Mary 2… we are not foodies and love to dance. I feel like our Queen Grills experience was a 10 as far as the suite, included spirits package and the Queen Grill dining experience. However we did not have breakfast or lunch in the Grill restaurant- nor Tea or cocktail lounge so perhaps we paid too much for an experience we did not really engage in. Our next crossing will be in a Britannia level balcony.
The MDR is not that of the Queens Grill ,one night we got to order our wine more than half way through our dinner ,many times service was slow and very impersonal and somewhat skimpy .Bread is not on the table and a one time offering was given .Breakfast time in the MDR ,several times one had to ask for coffee,and pastry , it doesn’t flow in the same manner as other lines such as Seabourn n and Celebrity
Another great review, thank you for taking the time to make and post, it's really informative. We are going to be in a Queens Grill suite in June, one thing I noticed was some of the tables in the restaurant look to be very close together, particularly the tables for two - how did you find this, particularly given the extra cost for booking QG?
Nice review from one who has done Transatlantic crossings on QM2 in both Britannia and Princess Grills. I want to add there are very nice light breakfast items, small sandwiches, and pastries during the day in the Corinthia Lounge that is included in the fare. Also, many lounges offer nice canapés with drinks in the evening as part of the regular service. Cunard does have a problem of raising expectations too much yet they generally deliver. The average age onboard does not reflect the age of those on the brochures though! Bottom line, once you tried the Grills experience it’s hard to go back!
Would you consider Princess Grill similar to Queen's Grill? Is the food thate much better on Queen's grill? I travel solo and am not really interested in paying a premium for Queen's grill when I can pay less on Princess Grill even with double occupancy.
@@GlobalAdventurer IMO, it’s not worth paying the super premium for QG as a solo. The PG experience is elevated with more attentive service and more than enough menu choices. Go for PG, especially as a solo. The suite is spacious too with tons of storage and a large bathroom and balcony.
I took my Father in Law (90) on the 10 day from NY to Hamburg Germany. I give it a mixed review; OK, but should never be compared to a ocean cruise ship. Cost was reasonable, design is dated, maintenance was ongoing during the cruise (even in our balcony twice!). Ship layout did not flow very well. Elevators were very slow. Food was not good, many selections which looked appetizing but weren't). Entertainment was average. Activities were numerous, repetitive & not things I (60) cared to participate in. Cabin & service was adequate, but we could have done without the painting of our balcony (strong & awful smell) & smoke alarm installation (both while we were in our room). In summary, QM2 was just not our cup of tea.
Glad you enjoyed your trip, nothing nicer that a cruise you really enjoyed. I find the restaurant tables awfully close together for me! The lack of dining options is a problem. I will give the QM2 a try for the Cunard and ocean liner experience but I think it may be surviving on past glory looking at reviews. I had exemplary service and dining in the Haven on NCL, will find that hard to beat.
Diana its worth it,if you want to do transatlantic,but the dining is overhyped. The buffett is decent in fact you will see people coming here in full evening wear after having left the main dining resturant probably hungry. The entertainment is the equivalent of watching paint dry. You can request a private table in the main dining room,or you will eat with strangers,but my honest tip avoid the main resturant all together
@@paulr75 thank you Paulr, yes transatlantic one way might be the best way to do it, appreciate your observations and candour 😊. Expectations run high for these things so it’s always good to have a real experience to go on, thank you again.
Gents, excellent and balanced review. Sounds like on the whole even with its high expense queens grill hit your expectations, especially on service. It’s a fantastic ship as you say a one of kind, great to see the refit has in general enhanced the ship!
Just sailed on this ship. Absolutely a beautiful ship. But, the food was horrible, activities were geared for old boring people, and it was like a floating nursing home!
I always enjoy your videos and this was great. I'm a bit confused though. I am booked on the QM2 in April 2025 for a TA which is a rebooking after our crossing was cancelled just prior to the Coronation because of engine trouble, this video shows updated fittings that I was not aware of and I watched literally everything I could find leading up to our expected voyage. Was there a more recent refit that I'm not aware of? I can't wait for our trip. Hoping that it goes off without a hitch. I can't take another disappointment from Cunard.
We have a round trip cruise booked for June 2024, our first time on QE2. We booked a sheltered balcony but now I’m having second thoughts that it might be restrictive. Also, because we don’t have a specific cabin assigned, what’s all your thoughts about likelihood of an upgrade? We are loyal Viking sailors and wonder how others find the difference? Any info on why thermals suites and hydro pool cost so much? Is it equipment, staffing or other problems? Thank you for helpful video!
We sailed transatlantic on QM2 and found the main Brittania restaurant to be a complete let down,its all dress up and hype,but the food doesnt hold up. We bought new suits but should not have bothered some of the other guests clothing looked like they where as old as the Titanic. If we ever do it again we would only eat in the buffett,QM2 is worth it of you get a good deal,but the entertainment and food is severely below average
We’ve been fortunate to vacation on cruises with Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Disney, Princess, Carnival, and Cunard. Our cruise on Cunard QM2 was by far the worst cruise we’ve been on. In terms of service, cabins, amenities, food, and entertainment, QM2 clearly was far inferior to all of the other lines. In my opinion, our QM2 vacation was comparable to spending a week in a college library with unfriendly librarians.
Sorry this ship has gone from magnificent to Carnival level. Food was disgusting for us in steerage balcony and not Princess level. try facing cow stomach and mackerel sir fry every damn night! We are Gold Level Cunard travellers, or were. NEVER again.
I am forced to assume this is a COMMERCIAL for QM2. From the lack of any _real_ "Brutal Honesty", to the fact that all the footage in the video is PROFESSIONALLY SHOT, most likely by Cunard itself, and features NO real passengers..
If you’ve seen their original reviews of QM2, you may change your mind. D&J are very brutal in their ships reviews (sometimes too much!). So getting rave reviews from them really do mean something. And this is not a commercial for D&J either…
@@Dbodell8000 if you were familiar with any of our other videos, you'd know we don't hype without good reason. This ship is one of a kind, a feat of engineering.
Dowdy dated boring dated looking grill the furnishings are cheap looking basic room amenities , no USB , staff is amazing , smooth sailing but well dowdy boring
Us Americans can do without afternoon tea. If the is suppose to be a selling point? Well, it would be so disappointing. I'd rather see a chocolate fountian for everyone to enjoy. The Britt's are dated, old fashion. Just FYI.

I don't mind the lack of USB because in the mid Atlantic there is no wifi. Which I also do not mind. 😊
We booked a trip in QM2, my Mom and I crossed from England to New York, the ship is amazing but we had bad weather to enjoy all the pools.
I sail to England on the QM2 once a year, afte a nice stay I sail her back to NY. Its a great option to flying and if you book an inside cabin its pretty affordable.
Looks VERY British…which is great as long as you know it before sailing..as An American who lived in London and sailed Cunard before..quite nice.👍👍👍
Best way to travel. It’s a completely different experience from the typical cruise. We’ve crossed 4 times and looking forward to number 5 in September. It’s a chance to travel back in time with the highest level of service today.

Buttery smooth footage, and commentary as ever! Your video images aboard are exemplary!
Since this video was made, Cunard includes a drinks package and the gratuities with all Grill accommodations (Queens and Princess).
That promo is only for US residents. But the fares are higher and the Drinks package limit is $12/ drink, not the $13.50 on fully paid package.

Carnival and Cunard seem to have listened to your advice
The Golden Lion is presented as being a British Pub, but the menu makes it more a Boston or Pittsburg bar rather than the Best of British venue.
Would love to try Queen Grill, going from new work back to Southampton! Could you recommend a good time of year to do this so the sea isn’t as rough?
Hey Cliff, probably May to September is the best time, as that’s when the seas so t be as rough for the crossing!
