  • Was it a mistake to do a transatlantic cruise / voyage in an inside cabin? Here's my comprehensive tour and review of cabin 6217 on board Cunard Queen Mary 2 and whether I managed for 6 nights in an inside cabin on a transatlantic from the UK to the USA!

    Great review. The Mary is the only one of the current Cunard fleet we’ve not travelled on. Just back from Norway on the Queen Anne. Lots of positives, but it does feel a bit crowded compared with the QV and QE. Only 20,000 tons more but 50% more passengers. Same number of lifts as the smaller vessels and the Artisan food hall at its busiest was a bit of a scrum. Bravo to you for opting for an inside cabin. Not sure I could cope with that - just like a window and balcony.

    Aww, Jamie, you are bringing back many, many happy memories for me. My first ever cruise was solo in an inside cabin on QM2 on a 4 week Transatlantic & New England/Canada voyage on the lovely QM2. She may be a little mature but is so graceful and a joy to travel on. Am back on QM2 in August, but will be enjoying the Grills this time. That first cruise is still one of my all time favourites though. I really hope that despite her quirks and Cunard’s current shortcomings, you have had a super, super time on board.

    Your hair dryer test always makes me laugh 😁. That cabin looks nice and comes really handy like you said when solo traveling. Very sensible 👌👍tip.

      To julie adventures cruise vlogger jamie booked a inside state room for translantic voyage on qm2 0cean liner the biggest disavantage with inside stateroom you have no idea what out side at sea is like and no view of port of call like new york any 1 booking translantic voyage would have stateroom with balcony and b4 you say any thing bout how expensive balcony is if any thing cruise cost decibals more we at home never been on a translatic voyage but we have been on qm2 she is beautiful we only been in a inside cabin once on a cunard ship and never again inside rooms with no windows real small ideal for 1 person then if that person dont mind no window

    The breakfast delivery is the best choice of food, and comes hot and fresh! Highly recommend it. We only ate in the buffet once on each voyage, and that was disembarkation day in May and in June. Great cabin tour.

    Glad you enjoyed the QM2 Jamie - my favorite ship. I am about to embark on my 3rd solo cruise on July 27th - NY to Hamburg. And then Christmas in the Caribbean. Have a single cabin for both. You should check out those. There is so much room, and the singles have a glass enclosed shower (since they were added during a refit) - lol.

    I would love to be able to use inside cabins but terrified of being seasick with no access to fresh air in cabin if feeling ill. I do use stugeron and have crossed bay of Biscay in windy weather in balcony cabin on MSC.

    Inside cabin for a transatlantic?!

    • @m.m.4645
      @m.m.4645 Před 6 dny

      Yes, why not.
      Actually, we have crossed the Atlantic mostly in insides because of the cold and mainly expected bad weather in the winter months.
      Why pay an arm and a leg for a balcony in November or December?
      We prefer to cruise more often per year than spending a lot for a balcony cabin that would mean we can only cruise less.
      We are retired by the way and unlucky to not have a goose that lays golden eggs.
