- I booked the smallest, and cheapest cabin on the Queen Mary 2, the world's last ocean liner. What was it like and was it worth it? In this video, I'll show you everything!

I took a cruise on the last remaining ocean liner in the world and I stayed in the cheapest cabin onboard the entire ship. It was less than half the size of the average hotel room in the US and it was located right in the middle of the ship with no daylight or access to the outside world.
On the ship there were 286 inside cabins which meant that realistically there would be at least 600 people on this cruise alone cruising in inside cabins. Possibly a lot more.
Inside cabins are a popular choice for many but cruise lines very rarely advertise them, they’d usually promote the suites or the balconies, you’ll never see the inside cabin on a Cunard advert and I wanted to find out why.
I did wonder if I would miss the outside space, I wasn’t sure if this cruise would be different with it being an ocean liner instead of a cruise ship and I didn’t know how well a ship of this age would have been looked after.
The cruise that I booked was only three nights long, so I decided it would be a great way to give it a go without spending too much time, or money, in case I didn’t like it.
We didn’t have great weather on this cruise and I do get seasick, but that isn’t something I was thinking about when I booked, I just wanted to get onboard.
I hoped that the lack of daylight wouldn’t be a problem and that it wouldn’t feel claustrophobic especially since I would be sharing this cabin with my brother. I didn’t pay a lot for this cruise though really, but more about that later.
I knew that the ship was built in 2002 but I hoped that the cabins and the ship had been refurbished since then.
These photos on Cunards website did look very luxurious, apart from this one that made it look like the cabin was sliding down a hill, I did hope that the cabin would be flat at least.
On a cruise you can either pay a cruise fare where you pick where your cabin will be, or you can save a bit of money and let the cruise line decide where it is. I decided to save the money, after all we were only on for three days and I figured it couldn’t be ‘that bad’ which always seems to be famous last words.

Hey Emma. It’s actually a lovely cabin. Like the color scheme and agree with you; don’t need a sofa and prefer a bigger bathroom/shower. Don’t mind being close to the elevator at all. Would pay the extra $125 for a balcony. Thanks for sharing.
We call those cabins an inside inside cabin. We like inside cabins because they are nice and dark, like a cosy cave. Helps us rest better and have a better experience.
BRITISHISM: I get teased by everyone for saying WASH with an "R" as in waRsh, who knew, I have a British accent?
Hello Emma, do ships have wheelchair accessible rooms? It feels like it might not be terribly safe being on wheels on the rolling sea, but you tell me if you ever see it?
From a historical perspective, I'm thrilled the Cunard keeps the Queen Mary name. My grandfather was a WWII veteran and brought home from the war on the Queen Mary in 1945. Many forget the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary transported troops during WWII. In an age when history is forgotten or overlooked, I think it's wonderful the heritage is remembered and honored.
Yes! Cunard are the best at that. ❤️
The Queen Mary in Long Beach? I love the place.
@@erikh9991 Yes!!!
they used most cruise ship for transporting troops during the war. The SS Arcadia was also used.
My father sailed to England in 1943 and back to NYC in 1945. He was on the Queen Mary for one trip and the Queen Elizabeth for the other. But he couldn’t remember which one.
Hi Emma. I know you said you don't really pay attention to subscriber count, but according to Gary Bembridge at Tips for Travellers' unofficial list, you are now the #2 cruise-focused website on CZcams. 🙂 Congratulations for a 275K subscriber milestone that you don't care about. 🤣
Thank you! 😁❤️
Congratulations ❤❤
I agree. You two are my favorite cruisies.
You all are forcing me to subscribe. Damn you.
@@EmmaCruises Congratulations. You deserve to be in the top.
I think the extra charge for a balcony cabin is worth it. I like being out in the fresh air, even if the weather is not ideal.
Inside rooms are fine. Only in there to sleep, cleanup. Usually out up on deck anyway. Especially on a cruise where there is actually something to look at, e.g. Alaska.
I would never consider a hotel room without at least a window for daylight and fresh air. A ship is no different … absolutely worth the extra £100 for a balcony for us.
I would pay extra to have no window. Cant sleep well if even a bit of sunlight comes into the room@@UK4US2023
Agreed, absolutely loved having a balcony the one time I ever did. It's a nice way to enjoy the weather and setting while retaining some solitude. Much more peaceful than the pool deck.
I spent eight years working on a ship, bunk beds, roommate, inside cabin. Went to 100 countries, and made it to Easter Island, Antarctica, and traversed the Northwest Passage onboard Crystal Cruises. I loved my cozy little upper bunk.
Did you see whales?
@@earthsucks9555 Had great sightings in Maui, Cabo San Lucas, and the best was off the coast of Ecuador.
Inside cabins are excellent if the occupiers get out and enjoy the decks and facilities. Great for sleeping.
We have done several Transatlantics on QM2, in those very cheap cabins, in oceanviews and sometimes in balcony cabins. Always a great time!
Actually we love it in the winter months when the sea is rough, waves are high and this wonderful ship can really show how it can master the oceans.
Lovely!!!
Hopefully we will be doing another TA in 2024.
Sounds amazing! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I once sailed on an ocean liner as a 14 year old, the SS United States.... it was an amazing ship, and yes, a long time ago. It was fast, comfortable, wonderful food and service, quite luxurious and a great experience. Our beagle traveled with us [we were moving to France, Dad was military, assigned to NATO] and was in the kennel [about a half dozen dogs were boarded in the kennel if I recall correctly], so we were encouraged to visit with him daily, taking him for walks on the designated kennel walkway. There were also other teens making the journey, so we had a lot of fun. It's so sad what happened to that ship in its later life. It was once the pride of the American maritime industry . Because we were a family of 4, we had a what I'm sure would have been called a junior suite today. There was a balcony, which I loved. I'd call for room service breakfast and eat it out there. Had my first croissant and cup of milky coffee with lots of sugar.
I concur with your assessment. I've only booked inside cabins. I've been on 3 transatlantic crossings and find the QM2 to be stable, jet lag free way to get back and forth to Europe. I enjoy the room service for breakfast but have used it once early in the morning. Thank you for all your postings. You do a wonderful job and I enjoy your cheerful attitude!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
@@EmmaCruises Emma, why don't you or other bloggers ever talk about Oceanview cabins? They are often a reasonably priced alternative, with full balconies. With QM2's Transatlantic crossings, often they are the best cabins, in that it is too cold for out door space living.
@@EmmaCruises Emma, I think QM2 also has Inside Prominade View cabins.
@@bodyloverz30 oceanview cabins don't have balconies, just a window.
@@sallyannc3176 Which make them a great option, when you don't want to spend $$+ on balconies.
I have worked customer service related jobs for my entire life. I appreciate the fact with the double beds error you blamed the ocean liner versus the staff that help you.
Great video Emma. I took a 7 night transatlantic crossing with my wife in July. We splurged for the Princess Grille suite, and it was the greatest trip I have ever been on in my life. I already very much miss the ship. Cheers.
Ooo sounds incredible! ❤️
First, it's always nice watching your videos. My wife is now insisting on an balcony cabin. We were cruising with inside cabins just to be frugal but we found we couldn't get up in the morning as we didn't know what time it was and we enjoyed sleeping a bit too much. I like your daylight alarm clock for this purpose.
I have many times stayed in the cheapest cabin many times when I first started cruising. I'm not in the room enough to have a window, but now only book cabins with a window or balcony. Very nicely done thanks
My late Mom went back and forth between Europe and the USA a few times in the 1950s, usually on liners, sometimes in upper class cabins when she’d saved up enough money. The SS United States, now rotting away In Philadelphia, was her favorite. She dined at the Captain’s table at least one night.
Incredible! ❤️
For an inside cabin it looked quite posh. but for the extra 100 quid, I'd take the balcony view cabin. all in all, it looked a very good value indeed, no petulant children about.
I started taking the Queen Mary 2 back and forth from the UK instead of flying for some reason that inside cabin is cheaper internal business class ticket. This past Christmas 2023 when I was returning from the UK I believe it was one of the first crossings since it's been overhauled and I have to say the cabins look amazing inside now they're updated no scuffs anywhere the ship smelled like it was a brand new ship it looked amazing from the public areas to the cabin and even down on the bottom deck where the crew stays it was amazing.
We've done eight transatlantic crossings on QM2, in flat calm and hurricane-force storms and she just plows through the waves. Watching your video left me with pangs of nostalgia for the ship. We've also done cruises on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth which are OK but once you've been on QM2 nothing else compares.
Wow, this is ironic, my wife and I JUST disembarked the QM2 a few days ago! It was our honeymoon and her first cruise. The QM2 was a bucket list cruise ship for me, so I was super thrilled to be on it. We loved it!
So glad you loved it 😀👍🏼❤️
Love your channel Emma! I have never even been on a cruise but I can’t to stop watching your videos 😂 you’re so down to earth and genuine it makes the videos so nice to watch! You may have convinced me to try cruising! (also I’m an Aussie with a British grandparent so I love hearing which Britishisms match us and which ones don’t ❤)
Iv'e been to Europe and back numerous times ion the QM2. Always get an inside cabin.They are very comfortable and affordable. I dont miss a window.
We have crossed on QM2 twice, in inside cabins, and loved it. So many interesting displays, good shows & lectures, and the Golden Lion pub was a fav place to eat.
I had that same room on a cruise QM2 where I moved my cat from Europe to the US. I was only in there to sleep, the room was great. The cat is flat nosed and couldn't fly, this was the only way to move him.. Totally worth it and stress free and fun for me too. Shout out to the pet kennels masters. They are awesome.
I'm pretty easy to please when it come to a room. Good temperature, clean, comfortable bed, and good shower pressure, and I'm happy. I thought the cabin looked to be reasonable size. I don't think many people take a cruise to be mostly in their cabin. I mean you've got a whole ship to explore, enjoy, and look at the sea. Some time I'd like to do a Transatlantic sailing on a true ocean liner, and now I know what to expect.
Yesss 😁🙌
A great tour. Thanks for posting. I am booked on this ship next year.
Thanks for the great post! I have not seen you pop up in my feed in a long time and I just want to say your video seems so much more polished now and you seem so much more relaxed and smooth. Lovely to see you again.
Thanks so much! I share a video every couple weeks or every week so please check out the ones you’ve missed 😀❤️👍🏼
Okay let's try again as my first post has vanished...QM2 is a gorgeous, classical ship that is a great seaboat, has great service and great food too. I recommend doing a full Transatlantic in December so you can see her decorated for Christmas - she is spectacular.
Sounds good! 😁🥳
That sounds good we are going southampton to new york 15th december!
Just got off a 10 day cruise on the QM2...wat a ship...and the crew were excellent...we are booked to do 2 more on her next year...loved her
The little fire hydrant is cute! Love this video! Thanks for showing us!
you're getting better and better with your reviews Emma 😊 I like it very much 😊
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Love watching your adventures Emma. I’m 62 and never been on a cruise xx
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Oh my gosh! Sorry, but you have not lived until you spend a week on the QM2. We took our first cruise at just about your age, a cheap Princess cruise to Alaska. My wife and I "knew you would not enjoy the cruise", but the only way to see Alaska. Boy, were we wrong! When we complete our currently booked trips, we will be "platinum on both Princess and Cunard.
Ive never cruised but your videos are very informative and helpful as a review so.people could use them to help them choose how they cruise.
Well done
I would pay extra for an exterior cabin. When you compare the prices with both hotel rooms and airfare, it is a really good deal, I think. Yes, it's 3 days as opposed to 8 hours, but you're on vacation anyway, and it gives one a chance to catch up on one's reading.😊
So good! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
If you try a balcony cabin on Atlantic in Mid winter Jan-March complete waste money stand outside and prepare to be windswept. Best value inside or porthole cabin
We adore the QM2 and will be taking our 4th crossing soon. We love a cozy interior and from a cost perspective much more pleasant than flying over the Atlantic.
Have the best time ever!!!! 😀❤️
Congratulations, Emma, on a very accurate account of QM2, my favourite ship in the world. I sail on Cunard 3x year ~ and would do more if I could. You are spot on about the inside cabins ~ they are terrific and nothing to complain about. Queen Anne's maiden voyage is May 3/24 and I cannot wait to take a peek. I am eternally grateful to the crews on Cunard ships ~ they are LOVELY.
Hi Emma, I love your viedos and tips. Personally I would be paying the extra for a balcony. I LOVE the sea. We copped a double cyclone in 2017 and, even though they made us stay inside the whole time and balconies were locked, we still watched the rough seas and loved it. I also love the fresh air. Just my own personal opinion. In saying that, if I was with someone who said they want an iside cabin, I would go along with it as my very first cruise in 1978 was an inside 6 berth cabin with our parents and 4 kids. We didnt notice no window, except for it being PICTH BLACK INSIDE. No light snuck in at all.
I always try to get a sideways when it's an inside, Oceanview. Really helps with the motion sickness to have your head/feet are in a forward/aft direction. I had one on Prima and in rough seas it was relaxing, even with the waves. 🙂
Yesss!!! I’d love that. 😀👍🏼
Though I always get a balcony, inside rooms are great imo. Balconies are perfect for when arriving at a destination. I always plan my room, by the side the ship's views are the best. A really good agent can help with this. Also an agent can specify which balconies have no obstructions. But look, Panama canal, Alaska, Greek Islands, so many places you really want to be outside on deck. Long winded, sorry, but my point is, if you plan on staying in your room all day, what are you doing on a cruise lol? BTW, I crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2 and I found it to be a lovely ship.
Fascinating as always Emma.
I love the QM2 it is my favourite ship. It always feels luxurious. I don't think I could ever do an inside cabin again. We did it once and hated it. We had a protected balcony cabin on our first cruise on the QM2 and we thought it was great. It was November and very mild and I don't normally like sitting on the glass balconies because I don't like heights but that balcony was great and very cosy we were out there all the time.
I've had trouble sleeping and sunrise clocks are amazing. I have one that allows me to plug a regular lamp into and it brings the light up or down on a timer, gradually lowering the light as I fall asleep, similar to sunset, and gradually increasing the light by my bed, similar to sunrise. Since using it, I wake up more gently before my radio alarm turns on.
Yeah! 😀❤️
Thanks for another great video! I love the QM2 so much, spending several times per Year on her…so amazing!! 😍😍
New to the channel. Emma, you're a delight to watch and listen too. You covered all the important stuff.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
A great video Emma and perfect timing as I am looking to do a Queen Mary transatlantic next year and I was undecided between an inside or balcony cabin.
My husband and I just love your channel and are using your reviews to plan our very first cruise ! Thanks for your honest reviews!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Hoping to do a transatlantic on her next year.
That's the dreaaaam! I'll do it one day I'm sure. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Great review!
I did a transatlantic on the QM2 back in 2005 when the ship was almost new.
I notice the cabins and most of the public areas are updated, bathroom in cabin looks the same as back then 🙂
My wife and I got engaged on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. My high school also had our Senior Prom there and our 10 year high school reunion. I love to see the name still being used. We also, love cruises and just got back from an Alaskan cruise.
Awhhh! ❤️
I probably wouldn't spend the extra on the balcony myself. I think the inside is nice enough. On my next cruise, I actually booked a solo cabin with Norwegian, so I'm looking forward to that. They're itty-bitty cabins, but just the right price.
The inside cabins, (not the solo cabins) on NCL's newer ships, are so claustrophobic, it's unconscionable!
Just back from Iona ship! The first choir on this ship! Great!
Emma!!!! Thanks for another super presentation: factual, thoughtful, reasonable.... All this, linked to your marvelous English charm and composure = another swell video!
Travel safe and be well! Thanks again!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Excited to do a trans-Atlantic crossing in June as a grand finale to our trip to Germany and the UK. Unfortunately that means packing a lot more as I wasn't intending to travel with various suits, dress shoes, etc. Shall be interesting! Thanks for the great video!
The inside cabins are great for napping . .love them.
My only concern with an inside cabin is what would happen if your ship had a medical outbreak and hundreds of people were sick and everyone was quarantined. I’d hate being stuck inside for days. When I have a balcony I can get some fresh air every day. An employee of mine got stuck in such a situation in Florida maybe 20 years ago. The ship wasn’t even allowed to disembark because they didn’t want illness being spread. Sailings are sometimes extended also because of hurricanes so I avoid cruising the Caribbean during that season anyway. It’s my least favorite place to cruise anyway because it’s all pretty much the same each cruise.
With Baltimore being closed now I understand they are sailing more out of Norfolk VA USA and that’s enticing to me. Only a few hours away by car, that would be a treat!
Hey Emma I recently found your channel and absolutely love it. I’ve been binge watching all your videos. Keep it Up!!
My wife and I love your videos. Great narration with a wonderful British accent - all done by an incredibly nice person. Excellent job!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Great coverage Emma
Thank you for the fun report. An inside cabin is a great way to save money. Tip: on most ships, the empty cases will fit under the bed(s).
Thank you! 😁❤️
Yes, they do fit under the beds in Cunard ships.
That was fun, thank you. $446 isn't bad at all for a 3-day cruise on a liner. And yes, I'd pay the extra $125 for a balcony. Something about being able to see and hear the water when you're on a cruise -- just makes it more cruise-y. ("cruise-y"? ... Meh, it works.☺)
Just came across your channel. I must say, I found it informative, thorough and quite charming. Looking forward to more. Well done.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Wonderful video. Very thorough. Thank 6ou
We also went inside and on similar cruise, it’s amazing value and cream teas are to die for. As for gratuities you can go to reception and ask for them not to be included but to pay them yourselves when and where you want
Thanks for this excellent review.
Such another great review Emma you describe everything so well in such beautiful detail love it 👻🍁🍃🍂🍃👻🍁🍃💛🎃
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
You were granted a great inside cabin for your "Saver Fare!" I made four transatlantic crossings in 2017 and 2018, all in inside cabins; one on deck 5, the other three on deck 6, all cabins that I chose after closely studying the deck plan. I'm more inclined to choose my cabin due to not wanting to be too far forward, nor on a very high deck...which is why I will never book a Britannia Club cabin on the QM2. I can also recommend booking an obstructed balcony cabin on the Queen Elizabeth (QE); I also chose that cabin for a 5-night "Big Band Cruise," which I sandwiched in between my eastbound and westbound crossings in August 2017. That said, I really studied the QE deck plan to book a cabin with less of an obstruction than others in my price range. I'm looking closely at the 2026 crossings and cruises that have just been released for booking, just have to decide which cruises or crossings to book!
I've been recently looking into taking the Queen Mary 2 across the Atlantic from the US to England. This was such a helpful video! Thank you!
Yay! Have the best time ever if you do go. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I haven't tuned in to your channel in a while and I just love love love your new look
Yes, balcony! I’m claustrophobic, want the extra room, fresh air, wine before dinner, and sunrise & sunset pictures! 🚢🚢🚢
Had an inside cabin on the MV Keran in 1984 travelling from the Ascension Islands to the Falklands. What fun going through the Roaring Forties living up to their name.
If I had the money, i would pay extra for the balcony, but the inside cabin would be better than staying home! When I eventually get to Los Angeles, I hope the stay on the old Queen Mary. I gather that it has now re-opened! Thank you for the video!
Great video, Emma.
Hey Emma! Great Video!!!
Hey Emma. Thanks for uploading your videos. You truly make me smile. :)
Glad you like them! Thank you! 😁❤️
Wow! A review that was actually meaningful and informative. Good Job.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Lovely Emma thanks for posting.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
We did the crossing our first time in an inside cabin and it was just wonderful and about half the cost of a business class plane ticket to London. We arrived rested and already done with jet lag. Next time we'll do a balcony but any place on Queen Mary 2 is wonderful.
I was just on the Queen Mary 2 less than a week ago! On the transatlantic crossing! It was great! :) in the sheltered balcony cabin I loved it. I wouldn't get a different cabin even if I had all the money to spend. Great review! :)
Love it! I think I'd like that cabin. Hope you enjoyed the crossing!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@lemursandpies, I was on that crossing as well! I loved it!
Great video, I could never do it. I need to be able to see outside at all times.
Taking a trans-Atlantic crossing on the QM2 is very much on my bucket list.
Informative videos. Seems every time I have a question, I find that you have already answered it. And pleasantly!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Fun to see you back to your cheap cruising ways.
😂😂😂
I sailed on The Freedom of the Seas last weekend in an inside room. It's only the third time I've had an inside room and I really didn't like it. The room was so small, I had to get into the bed by crawling onto the end because there wasn't enough room to walk on the sides of the bed. There was a box on the ceiling right above the bed that sounded like a wind tunnel and the bed was so hard it hurt my hips. Other than that, the room was dated, but nice and cozy. The shower was great and my room steward was so great! This is a very old ship, but I loved the opulence.
My close friend recently took the QM2 to do a trans-Atlantic with her dog. She loved the kennel services, and plans to do it again when she moves to Europe next year.
Love it! 😀❤️
We did inside cabin on the QM transatlantic and then inside cabin on the QE to Alaska. I have no complaints and dont want to spend more money on a view when I can go on deck whenever I want or save the money for shore excursions! Both are fabulous ships.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
thank you, I enjoy your cheerful voice, Ive been thinking of traveling on the Queen Mary.. i travel alone, if there were 2, I would pay the extra. Jackie
1st omg. I am a big fan and i booked a cruise on my birthday in may on princess to the norwegian fjords
Woohoo! Thats so awesome. The fjords are the BEST! Have a great time. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Hi Emma. Great video. Thank you!
Helloo! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We paid extra for a balcony cabin but we were going on a trip to New York and back. We saw a whale from the balcony coming back and it was worth it just for that. We love the QM2, we made so many happy memories.
I laughed a bit when you talked about the electric kettle. I'm a Yank and can't live without one. I've been corrupted by my travels. 😂
Great write up as well. I'm going to look into spending some time traveling this way.
WOW,you are looking good🥰
What a wonderful souvenir to find in your cabin...lol. I would be launching oranges from the top deck or frame it.
Hey- good video! Like your hairstyle in the cruise video!
Watching this on my balcony suite on Rotterdam on seas. Fun
This ship was built in 2002. It is not an "old" ship. It is also technically not an "ocean liner." Its appearance and "lines" are taken from early 20th Century ocean liners but it is not an old ocean liner. You can look up the difference in requirements for cruise ships and ocean liners online. Have fun!
Nice vlog Emma 👌
Great vid, enjoy the budget travel perspective.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Love those videos/cabin reviews about quirky cabins :D keep em coming ahahahah
Thank you! Love making them 😀🙏
What a great review!
Thanks for sharing ....
Thanks for watching!
Wow Emma.. your hair is back.. long hair so suits you! pretty cute for a pom :)
BEAUTIFUL
As a person with a more historical inclination and someone who finds the floating hotels ugly, the QM2 might be the only ship I'll ever be on.
And even then it'd only be for a transatlantic
