Wow,really liked this video and information!Thank you!❤
Hi Jean, thank you for the kind words, they're really appreciated. Alison & Ian
We have one of these booked as a Penthouse Suite Do you know why they changed the name? Thanks for the tour 👍🏻
Hi. I believe there are 4 types of full suites on Sun Princess. We were in the lowest level. Looks like you are in the next category up. You will have a fabulous time. Enjoy your cruise. Let us know what you think of the cabin.
Thank you for the tour 👍🏻 We have one of the PHS opposite 15633 Our daughter has 15629 (1D) Is this area in the Starboard Aft quiet Did you hear any noise from the Suite Lounge or from the back elevators Was there much foot traffic ? Thank you 😊
We reserved a M2 Mini Suite for May of 2025. My understanding is that we don't have access to the Signature Lounge and we don't have priority embarkation on tenders or shore excursions. We do have embarkation and debarkation priority. Is that your understanding as well?
Hi Teresa. I believe this is the case. However there are changes to suite privileges later this year and more cabins will have access to the Sanctuary. Perhaps check with Princess if this applies to you. I am sure you will have a wonderful cruise regardless.
Azure is our favourite ship in the current P&O fleet, for us she superseded Oriana when she was sold. We are looking forward to sailing on Azura again next year when she repositions from Malta to Tenerife.
We will be coming on Arvia on the 1 st Sept for my 60 th birthday, wish we could have got a balcony xx
@@user-se5zg9wj3j hi Marie, not to worry there is still plenty to do and see on the ship as well as all the ports you'll be visiting... we're sure you'll enjoy yourself, and happy 60th for when it arrives. Alison&Ian
Do they have toilets in the lobby? Looking for somewhere to get a drink before meetings
Hi. I can't recall if there are toilets but would be surprised for such a big hotel if there were none. Hope you enjoy your stay if you go there.
We just got off Queen Anne on an Icelandic cruise and we thought she was great...staff were excellent.. as a matter of fact our cabinn steward was the best we've ever had...and we've done 20 cruises...Promenade deck was the only disappointment for us...no view...just life boats...
That's fantastic news Deidre, so pleased you enjoyed it.
First time I have watched any of your videos. I loved and enjoyed your style of showing cabin. I am on QA with my 14 year old grandson in October in a twin inside cabin and found it very informative - thank you.
Hi Barbara, many thanks for the kind words, hope you enjoy the other videos we've made and it gives you an insight into other lines and destinations. Would love to hear your thoughts on QA when you get back! Alison & Ian
I spotted her by the waterfall. I went in May, so I knew where she was. I didn’t know you could do a zip wire when I went, I’d absolutely love to do it. Flam is beautiful. Did you book the tour through Cunard?
Hi Carol, no we booked it ourselves sepeartely...details should be in the comments. Alison & Ian
@@AgelessCuriosity I booked the train separately as it was so much cheaper. It looked so much fun.
@@carolr9301 Ah thats great Carol...its a lovely train journey...have fun! Alison & Ian
EIGHT dishes, plus coffee for breakfast? How much do you eat? Did you gain any weight on the cruise? LOL
It surprised us how much came with teh breakfast...it was way too much! Everyone gains weight on a cruise! 🙂
@@AgelessCuriosity I agree. I used to gain ONE POUND per day, until I gave up lunches, and dessert with dinner. Now....No weight gain.
It’s a lovely cabin. I’ve never been in an inside cabin before, I am trying one out for soon. I not my cabin is the same layout as there others I’ve seen has the tv in a stupid place.
Hi Carol, yes some of them have a poor layout as far as the tv is concerned...hope you get the layout we did! Alison & Ian
Please.....Don't tell me about a place. SHOW me.
Hi, Just to say what a great video. Thanks for posting. We've just booked the same trip but without the zipline for when we go at the end of August. Was the bike trail easy to follow? And what do you use to record the videos? It's really clear footage. Thanks, Karl.
Hi Karl....yes there is only 1 road back down to the ship, so nice and easy. We're sure you'll love Flam; beautiful place. As far as equipment its a combination of a DJI Pocket 2 and Go Pro10. depending on the scenario. Alison & Ian
@AgelessCuriosity Thanks for the reply, really helpful 👍🏻
Enjoyed watching. Thanks
Such stunning scenery in Olden and the buildings look lovely. I think I prefer the white church over the red one, mainly because of its age and size. I have seen lots of bad reviews about QA's Queen's Room. It certainly doesn't look up to the standard of the other Queens. As Cunard will be leaving Australia, we've booked a cruise in December on QE because it will be our last chance. It's very sad. We have to fly to Sydney to join the cruise so there's the extra cost of airfares and hotels. Oh well. I'm sure it will be worth it.
Sounds like you were Ageless in Olden. LOL
So....Did ya buy a carpet?
Sadly, no we didnt....but some of them were very nice 😄 Alison & Ian
@@AgelessCuriosity But probably overpriced. And...How would you get it home?
The price included shipping to your home
Beautiful Olden. Went on a fjord’s trip with Princess cruises in April. Opened our cabin curtains on arrival in Olden and thought I’d never been anywhere so beautiful in my life. That was until the following day when we docked in Skjolden! The fjords are so stunning. I feel so blessed to have been there.
Really enjoyed your video of Olden. Perfectly shot and brilliant content. I do agree with you about the Queen’s room. Show was great but I believe Cunard need rethink that venue for future shows. Always entertaining and once again enjoyed your video.
Confirming the couch easily turns into a bed correct? Looks fabulous!
Your videos are so lovely that I play them at 0.75 Playback speed! Which, as an 86-year-old retired aerospace engineer, probably reflects my rate of comprehension...
Hi @leo, thank you so much for the kind words. We're really grateful for the feedback, and we're really pleased you can enjoy them. It makes all the effort of editing and uploading worthwhile. We hope to get the next one out in the coming days for you to enjoy as well. Alison & Ian x
Please consider removing that awful thumping that's part of your background "music"!
Hi, thanks for the comment we use lots of music...could you be a little more specific? Alison & Ian
Helpful, I like your approach to giving out information. Thanks
You were far braver than me doing thst zip wire. Flam train is fab did it a few years ago
I only cruise on Cunard going on the Anne later this year. I see you have done Princess, how does it compare really hesitant but like the itinerary for a particular cruise next year on the Emerald
Hi @Mrpegs1, firstly...if you've only been on the likes of Queen Mary and Victoria previously then Anne should be a pleasant surprise...she's been beautifully fitted out. That said, we prefer Princess (though we wouldn’t rule out going back on Anne). I guess we all look for different things in a cruise and whilst we enjoyed our time on Anne, we still prefer Princess, and that’s largely due to the entertainment being the best we’ve encountered on the 4 differing cruise lines we’ve tried over 13 cruises. Princess excel with their entertainment, not just the quality, but the amount and variety throughout the day. The food isn’t as good as Cunard, but it’s not far off. Also the drinks packages are excellent value and of course the ‘medallion’ technology is the best on the seas. What Cunard excel at is the food and formality, which has been their main selling point for ever. They’re definitely trying to attract a younger demographic with Anne and they seem to be trying differing things out as well such as Silent Disco’s and the new Imagination show (which we’ll give people a glimpse of in the last video). Sadly we haven’t been on Emerald, though we have Ruby on our Panama canal cruise earlier this year, so you may wish to check those videos out to get a feel for what to expect as they are sister ships. We would love to hear back from you as to your thoughts on Anne once you’ve been on her as well as Emerald (and Princess) when you come back. By the way, where are you going to on Emerald? Alison & Ian
@@AgelessCuriosity I appreciate your reply. Thanks. We have been on all the Queens 4 trips coming up in the pipeline we particularly enjoy Transatlantic crossing on the QM2 rather than flying to the USA. We enjoy the structure Cunard offer we don't like resort ships RCL, NCL that we have tried but didn't enjoy, horses for courses I guess. We have been on one Princess ship way back in 2005 the Sea Princess it was fine however things change and memories fade, hence my question. Think I will book the cruise I have in mind. The itinerary takes in Greenland a place I would like to travel too not many offer this country. I will let you know after we travel. Subscribed ..
You're more than welcome. Greenland (and Iceland) are on our bucket list and sounds fabulous 🙂 Totally agree with you about 'horses for courses' ...that's what's great about cruising...all the lines are different in their own way. We've not tried NCL or RCL we're toying with the idea though as for us destinations are just as important as the ships...and sometimes we have to compromise...still...it beats work! 🙃 Alison & Ian
Thanks for the vids , I'm worried about the dress code, Ill do the cruise on November :)
Hi, dont worry too much about the dress code. Its only an issue on formal nights and even then only for the Main Dining Room. Its just a jacket, shirt and tie...no Tux is required. If you dont feel like dressing up then thats fine, you can eat at the buffet and use all the other venues as normal. Hope that puts your mind at rest. Alison & Ian
Hi I’ve booked this cabin for next year but stupidly didn’t look at the deck plan first. Is the noise from live lounge a problem late at night?
Hi. We didn't notice any noise from the live lounge. There are cabins directly below this one so they may hear some noise. Hope you enjoy the balcony as much as we did
@@AgelessCuriosity thanks for the info x
I've wanted to do a Norwegian cruise for years but it's just too far away for us, so it's really good to see it all on your videos. The scenery looks amazing.
Thanks Joan, we think its better than Alaska to be honest....the video doesnt do it justice! Alison & Ian
Wow!! What an incredible video. You can really feel how much you enjoyed yourself.
Haha, I think the 'enjoyment' was touching terra firma at the end 🤣 More shennanigans in the next one! Alison & Ian
Bergen looks lovely. Just how I imagined. I'm looking forward to seeing the next port of call.
Great videos. Doing this in November 24 so thank you
Hope you have a fantastic time
Bergen was beautifully shot. Thanks for taking me back.
Love Cunard ❤ QA looks beautiful.
We loved Benni!!
I just booked 14444, I believe its worth it. Can’t wait!!
Congratulations 🎉🍾
An excellent vlog. You really captured the atmosphere. Enjoyed the clips from the various venues. Lovely commentary too. We are on QA later this year.
Thank you for your kind words. Hope you enjoy your cruise on QA
Enjoying seeing the cruise through your clips we also enjoyed the cruise very much
Fantastic video. Reliving the memories 😊❤
I'm glad you like the ship. I've heard more bad comments than good about it. I was disappointed to see that they've moved away from the traditional Cunard styling. A lot of comments have been about the theatre being just like a movie cinema in any town. I tend to agree. Anyway, I've always wanted to do a Norwegian fiord cruise, so I look forward to your coming videos.
Hi Joan, I think the bad comments were two fold, one being from the traditionalists about the styling etc and two from those who clammered to get on one of the first sailing when clearly things still needed to 'bed in' as it were. We're probably more 'relaxed' about that dort of thing, there were certainly some elements that we found 'clunky' and poor, but others that were great...as you'll see later in the vlogs. Alison & Ian
Your clips capture the atmosphere in venues nicely. We're not cruisers; only like QM2 Soton-NY-Soton, mainly for dancing. Can't comment on theatre sight lines. We just dance every night. I'm always puzzled why some men find formal wear a chore. That's our other reason for QM2, next time I'll save on luggage by just taking formal wear for evenings, alternating black, navy and ivory tuxes for the two weeks. I get very few opportunities to wear them otherwise. My wife dresses up anyway.
Thanks for the kind words about the clips...and we hope you both get to keep on dancing, whether on sea or land for a long time to come. Alison & Ian
I was on this cruise too. A very enjoyable cruise and whilst Anne is different to the other ships, there is nothing in my view that makes Anne anything other than a great ship. One of the highlights was ‘Noir’ though. If you’re on the ship, definitely go and see it.
Your first clip from the Queens Room briefly catches [Tony Maria (dance)] who post lots of dance videos from cruises here, many from Cunard.
Hi David, that was a fantastic spot from that short shot of them. They were dancing all cruise...and we now know why. Alison & Ian
We're on Queen Anne in October and like you have never cruised with cunard. It's nice to see you're thoughts on this cruise line having not done them before
Absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed the flow of your content. Can’t wait to see the next one.
Thanks Brian, that means a lot...Hope you and Peter are good and enjoying the wonderful summer lol. Alison & Ian
Ahh, you are really fun and informative. Thanks for the video, just subscribed 😊
Thank you so much for this nice overview. It helped us decide if we wanted the extra large balcony or just the normal one. I have sailed on Sapphire Princess, and loved the atmosphere and more classic design, so hoping we like Ruby, too.
Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire were all mfg by Mitsubishi ship builders. They are the same floor plan. I have sailed them all and really prefer this class over the newer ships. I’m taking the Ruby to Hawaii in February
@@benyounce8390 fantastic! We are taking Ruby to Hawaii next month. Can't wait!
Great video thank you! I think it's a great cabin. We always have a balcony cabin but we've booked an inside cabin on Queen Anne in August because I was desperate to see the new ship. We're in 7178 so I'm going to check the shape.
Really enjoyed the content. Brilliant!!!
Great video! Quick question, does that sofa turn into a bed?
Hi. The cabin is advertised for up to 3 people so the sofa would be used as there was no bed from the ceiling that we could see. The sofa was only used to sit on in our cabin and we did not see it converted into a bed. Apologies as I can't be more specific. This wont be helpful to you on this occasion but we will take more note on future cruises
Thank you for the tour. We are on Queen Anne in a couple of weeks time, inside cabin but the other configuration, so will let you know what it's like
Yes please. It would be good to find out the advantages of each style. Enjoy your cruise
Great video ❤
Thanks for the tour. Quite a few people are saying that there's not enough wardrobe space in the cabins. It didn't look too bad. The cabin would be too claustrophobic for me, but I know not everyone has that problem. I love the toiletries that Cunard provide. They are the best out of all the cruise lines.
We felt there was enough hanging space but the narrow area outside of the wardrobes made it aqward. It was a good value cabin nevertheless
