Never found the laundrette on deck 4. Must have been on the odds side. Did find the scenic lift from the Commodore Club. You really wouldn’t know it was there. I’m sure I saw one small sign somewhere saying scenic lift. Next time I’ll use your tips for the stairways. I was always using the wrong one!! x
Oh How I laughed - right from the introduction. Try saying "ships tips, so, let's have a look at my tips!

Linzi and Mark, you always make me smile, each and every video, there is something. You bring a whole new, and fresh approach to vlogging, and I absolutely love it. Im laughing now whilst im dictating hie comment lol..take care and catch up soon..Terry , Spencer and dean x x
He he he Terry. It wasn't the easiest intro to say. Glad we hadn't had too many drinks prior to doing the intro 😂 If Dean finds the picture please share us the link too 😀 As usual Terry you comments always bring the biggest smiles to our faces and we are so glad you are still enjoy our little channel.

Thanks for this. Some new information I had not seen before. I like shorter videos that have a special theme. I would love to see people break down their UA-cam videos into 4 minute chunks, review what is already available and then have a unique topic or angle. Yours is really good.
You are both lovely! The tips will be very helpful for me when I take the westbound transatlantic crossing on QM2 next May. The stairway tip is brilliant! Thank you and greetings from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Thank you so much Walter. So glad the tips were useful for you and have the most amazing TA in May. Please let us know how it goes. Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark
How funny - our Cunard tips videos have gone live on the same day - great minds think alike! The free laundry was excellent on Queen Elizabeth, but it was SO difficult to get a machine without waiting in a huge line - it blew my mind how many people seemed to LOVE doing laundry, ha!
Absolutely great minds 😂 We were surprised how busy it was on our 7 night one too. We had to go in four different laundry areas until we found one with no one in. Loved your 20 tips video BTW. Linzi and Mark
I subscribed! You are a lovely couple! We are considering the British Isles 30 night next Aug/Sept and you have assured us that the sheltered balcony is the way to go! Thank you so very much ♥
Thank you so much Kris. Wow. A 30 night British isles cruises sounds amazing and given the British weather the sheltered balcony is a great bet 😀 Linzi and the
At the risk of being an interloper, I'll add my two cents. I've sailed the QM2 for a 15-night TA cruise and back again. It was heavenly, and we're going again next summer, but only for 10-nights TA and on to Hamburg. With that background out of the way, I'll let you know that we had a sheltered balcony cabin last time and loved it so much that it became a requirement for next summer's cruise. Crossing the Atlantic, the winds and waves can be shockingly rough, and the protection from the ship's hull is very welcome. You'll also have the utmost privacy in your cabin and on your balcony. One thing that is often not mentioned in these videos (but I think should be) is that if you're crossing the Atlantic--no matter the season--it will get very cold. Take a warm jacket or at least a heavy sweater/jumper. You're going to want to walk a few laps around Deck 7 at least once in a while, and you'll be glad for the extra layers, even in August!
@@ajs11201 Thank you! We are daily walkers and have wondered how chilly it might be on the promenade. Enjoy your cruise! We are counting the days...283 😅
@@ajs11201 most definitely not an interloper 😀 Great point re the layers for warmth although wierdly on our TA now on Apex outside has been lovely (lowest day around 19c so far) but inside the ship at night it's been occasionally freezing, so we've had to layer up in there on occasion with what we expected to where out on the deck. So we completely agree bring Layers on a cruise you never know where or when you'll need them Linzi and Mark
Loved this video. About the gluten free being separated from kings court, some people are so sensitive to gluten that even a molecular amount of cross contamination (an ovelooked speck on a washed dish, for instance) can make them ill. A friend's child has this issue and they've just all gone gluten free to simplify family life. I suspect that's why they keep gluten free so far away from the rest of the buffet.
Thank you so much Denice. We never thought about the sensitivity to Gluten, as we had things such as Nuts. Thank you for pointing that out, and it makes sense.
Regarding the laundry, I saw detergent, does that have a smell? I am quite chemically sensitive unfortunately, and could not find anything online regarding the ingredients or odor of "luxy leaves detergent". Thank you for all the wonderful videos, they are a joy to watch.
H Elenor, no it didn't have much of a smell at all. We both have quite sensitive skin too and it didn't effect us at all. Hope this helps. Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
The Chef's Gallery section of the Kings Court provides evening table service - pasta dishes and made to order pizza. This is not considered one of the alternative theme [extra cost] 'pop up' venues on the port side.

Isn't anyone else bothered by the husband constantly interrupting his wife and talking over her? I genuinely started watching the video because we have an upcoming cruise, but had to stop watching because I was so frustrated with his behavior.
Thank you for your comment. We are sorry you don't like our conversational style. We do not use scripts, we just talk about the subject we are covering, which occasionally will mean we interrupt each other if there is something either of us has to add. Thanks for giving the channel a chance and there's plenty of other great creators on UA-cam who won't frustrate you as much. Have a lovely day and a nice time on QM2. Linzi and Mark

I'm certain the people paying tons of money for the royal suite are thrilled you're promoting the glass elevator that goes directly to their suite. People love busy lifts. 🤣
It's public space! If you don't like ppl, stay in your "look what I can afford" suite or better yet, don't go on a cruise where there are....pleasant people.

Okay Linzi ~ I just went back through the video, specifically to find that bottle picture. Ahem, now "I get it". 😋 Tis a smashing photo indeed ! lol

Thank you again! I'll primarily eat in the buffet and get room service, so your tip on the hidden spot helps a lot 👍
You are very welcome. Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
Like the labelling of the stairways - I needed some of that! Mind you we found the hidden part of Kings Court at lunchtime - great place for a burger.
It is a great place for lunch (or brekkie) Lindsey. It was our go to spot in the Buffet during the day.

Hi, if you buy the drinks package does that cover ALL gratuities? Daily and spa as well as the drinks? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.
Hi Richard. No it only covers the gratuities for the drinks package, you would still have them for the dailys and spa.
