‘A more balanced experience in playful seas’ is the best description I’ve ever heard to explain the benefit of a mid ship cabin - love it!
Haha, love this.
We also like the saying ‘the more you pay the more you sway’ in that the higher end cabins are usually high up and at the extreme ends of the ships where there’s the most movement 😂
I’m still very young and far away from ever being able to get on one of these cruises but this channel is a great replacement for getting that feeling.
Recently I’ve gotten into a relationship and seeing these warm trips create such an urge to go on vacation..
Aww, thank you. Hope that one day you get to enjoy cruising as much as we do 😍
stay true to yourself and you'll get there, you'll see. 😉
Why not to try a tasting cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam or Vice versa?🙂
Perfect timing - I love to watch this kind of dream content on Sundays 😁
Thank you Jennifer. Indulge away! :D
Very informative with a light hearted approach, thank you.
Thank you for watching Chris. We like to keep things light hearted. 😊
First let me say the music accompaniment is spot on! It really enhances your wonderful videos. I love a firm mattress and the black marble..stunning, I hate those types of hangers. I was also thinking how much the Princess suite looks like that of the mini suite on Princess which I love staying in three times already!. Thank you Rich and Helen🚢🙂
Thank you ☺️
Ship cabins look very nice and I love that they now have shower doors, hate the curtains.
All hail the glass screens! Only took Cunard a couple of centuries. 😂
Fabulous high quality, informative & honest video review. Many thanks
Thanks for watching ☺️
Wow. Great room tours. Loved the music accompanying the video by the way.
Thank you ☺️
This is truly spectacular. My dream for my next holiday.
Hope you get the chance to sail her one day 🤞
Thanks for watching.
Great overview....thanks so much. We, too, MUCH prefer sliding balcony doors.
Thanks for watching 👍
Not impressed with the side angled sink in the Princess Grill.
So far I have not seen a Q4 Penthouse mid ship.
We have a Q4 midship booked for the World Cruise and are interested in finding out the feel of the suite.
Thanks for this video.
I’m afraid we couldn’t get inside the Q4 mid ships. Would’ve loved to have seen one too. 🙂
We had a deluxe ocean view on the maiden voyage and we were very impressed with the cabin, especially the separate shower room and the size of the sofa. We are on QA again in October in a Q4 so we shall see what that is like. I think the Q1 is trying far to hard and it appears like Cunard forgot what Queens Grill is all about. A good example is the dining cupboard that seats 6. Really!
Haha, that’s exactly what that dining room felt like 😆
Thanks for watching.
It used to be published in the daily programme on the first day when it was A4.Looking forward to your next vlog.
Thank you for watching 👍
One thing which is ALWAYS missing for we ladies is a magnifying make up mirror at the desk where we can sit and apply out make up. I notice that there is a magnifying mirror in the bathroom in the higher suites but who wants to stand up in there to do makeup? Disappointing as the Q3 Penthouse suites on QV do have them.
Absolutely. None in the main cabins. Generally the lighting in the bathroom is very good so it hasn’t been a huge issue but Helen does love a decent magnifying mirror😁👍
I should have added that you have a soothing mellifluous voice, Richard. Sorry, Helen. X
nice touches of classic art deco
Yes. they’re subtle but feel so fresh. 👍😀
Thank you very much for your Vlogs on Queen Anne . I’ve been a Cunard client since 2003 , QE2 , QM2 , QE and QV. I was wondering about QA and you have helped me decide that it’s not for me . I travel Queens Grade with a pal and the Q3 on a Vista is far more more to my taste as are the other Grill areas
Glad it was of help 👍
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the heads up about the hairdryer! I will be packing my own for our trip in July. Apart from that, the cabins look lovely 😊
😂 We’re not kidding. AND you have hold the button down for the entire time it’s breathing on you. Cramped up thumb AND damp hair. Great combo. 😂
@@visitwithus omg, sounds like it belongs in a leisure centre swimming pool changing room!
😂😂😂
Are you allowed to take your own travel hairdryer ? …I thought I saw hairdryers on a list of items not allowed to take onboard? I’m travelling on her next year.
@jy3281 yes, I saw on another thread that people had taken them on. If I get into trouble, I'll let you know!
We booked for next year an Outside cabin with panorama window as well with shower and separate bathtub (not already mentioned in your film )
Hope you have a great cruise 👍
First time on Cunard in January 2025 on the Queen Annetastic World Cruise. Thanks for the review. I hope we have chosen the right Cunard Queen.
Thanks for joining us and for entering the giveaway 👍
Standard categories? Quite nice! The suites? Meh, a bit conference room looking, and disappointing. However, its refreshing reverse criticism. Overall like many new builds, looking like all-inclusive resorts - soulless based on successful formula for mass, inoffensive appeal. Cunard's marketing prowess at work. And who would've ever imagined Cunard being less segregated than American lines like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian decades ago.
Oh, by the way- another FANTASTIC tour! Thank you!
Thank you for your comments and for watching 😊
Ever since the pleasent shock surprise of experiencing Queen Elizabeth back in 2019, I've become something of a Cunard simp. They take the typical cruise ship design and change it ever so to feel bizarrely classic. Doesn't mean I'm not quick to accept some of the even glaring problems and ehhs the ships have come with. And QV appears just as susceptible. Sliding balcony doors have become the norm on CARNIVAL ships.
I really do love the carpeting color and pattern choices. And the transatlantic humoUr. If I DO say!
Thank you 😆
ANNETASTIC 🚢 😊 🤞🏼
Thanks for watching and entering our Annetastic competition! :D
Another great video thanks. I really like the green sofa in the Grand Suite - I think the two chairs facing it, about 9:10, would look better in the same green also instead of the tan. Although I am probably not objective and have little sense of style. I just like green.
😂 we too like green 😁
Thanks for watching.
Annetastic!

Thank you for watching 😍
Great room tour we are Cunard Platinum and we think the new ship looks Annetastic enjoy the Grand Prix all the best Tony & Linda
Thanks you for watching and for entering the giveaway 👍
Great video Richard, thank you. Looking forward to sailing on her in August. May I ask what camera do you use for your videos?
Thank you Richard. It’s generally a mix of iPhone, Osmo and a Sony DSLR 👍
@@visitwithus Thank you.
I love firm mattresses! I love the balcony
Cunard ships aways have decent balconies and we’re pleased to see that Queen Anne is no different to her sitters in that respect 👍
Thanks for watching
Annetastic
Thanks for watching and entering the prize draw 👍
The Penthouse would be a dream. Unfortunately the inside room is too small and I would pick the QMII over this. If I got stuck in it due to illness, it would be too much.
Indeed the Penthouses are our favourite category of suite too. Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you for the video - really useful to see the different cabins - could I ask what the inside cabin number is? We are onboard in September and there seems to be a few different set ups for inside cabins...
Yes, you’re right. This is on deck 6, 6138 and we prefer this to then other option which has the bed on the back wall. Thanks for watching.
@@visitwithus Thanks so much for confirming - we're going to be on the same deck all the way aft and keeping fingers crossed we'll have the same configuration! I agree I think side on is much better
Nice review. The q3 looked like a q5 at the rear as it was different to the plan you showed
Hi Kevin. Well spotted. The Q3 we filmed is one of the bigger ones on Deck 6 but it’s next to a Q5 with a connecting entrance. I couldn’t find the corresponding plan so had to use the one that was typical for that category. 🙂
@@visitwithus we’ve book the end q3 for 2026 cruise. I like the door from bedroom to balcony which you don’t get on q5 end wrap around balcony. Also have suite 7257 for Aug 24, but no videos yet 🥲.
I wondered why the door from the bedroom wasn't visible from the main balcony. Seems odd to have the partition closed. We have a Q3 booked for this year and next, and I'll certainly want an open balcony.
Great vlog. Do you know who is the senior Maitre D?
Thank you. No, I’m sorry we don’t know. There is a senior officers cocktail party in a few days time so we might find out then 🤔
It's the Grill's Penthouse for me, please ...
Wouldn’t that be nice 😊
Thanks for watching 👍
Inside room? Not sure I could go back to those.
It was all that was left when we booked so we decided to take the plunge as we were so keen to sail on her. And it’s been ok - the room is actually very cosy and comfortable. We’re certainly sleeping very well.
Would liked to have seen an obstructed veiw cabin
Unfortunately we couldn’t access one. The ship is sailing completely full right now. Thanks for watching.
The doors to the balcony are a Carnival design
Indeed. Thanks for watching.
I think I actually like the Q5 more than the Q3 - gladly take the big balcony
We agree with you 👍
Thanks for watching.
an Annetastic video. Shame they couldn't supply a decent hair dryer and sort out those annoying coat hangers ! Everything else looks lovely
These are annoyingly easy to rectify! :D
I didn't have a coffee machine in my cabin in room 6191
The coffee machines are only in the Britannia Club rooms. If you were in a Britannia Verandah you wouldn’t have had one.
Thanks for watching 👍
An INSIDE cabin on a Carnival ship (with a splash of British lipstick)... SOMEONE must not have said enough "hail Marys" after confession. Hope you enjoyed! I would have loved to have sailed on Cunard (when it was CUNARD).... Looks like a lovely ship, though. While I'm not terribly fond of being old, I wish I had been old enough to know what a transatlantic crossing on the QEII felt like ((sigh))....
😂😂😂
One of the highlights of our time on board was a Cunard Insights lecture from Chris Frame (a Cunard historian) who entertained us for over half an hour with stories about QE2.
The rooms look a lot nicer than the 90s/2000s style of the other 3 ships.
We agree. Totally updated but with a Cunard traditional edge. 🙌
Ugh, so in other to avoid the prison-style clothes hangers, one must book Princess Grill and above? Those hangers are the absolute worst.
Afraid so! We are getting increasingly annoyed with them every day that passes 😂
Thanks for watching.
Why do they put dirty cushions up against clean pillows ?
I think it’s a fashion statement but completely understand what you mean.
Thank you for watching.
What deck is this cabin on please
All of the features are on deck 6. Thanks for watching. 🙂
I always enjoy your videos, but, this one was particularly "Annetastic".
I wish I could afford to stay on this ship.
Thank you for watching.
Ship's internet BLOCKS Google Docs, Google Sheets, all VPNs, Microsoft Outlook, Google Maps and many other productivity sites. Unless you're retired or won the lottery, DO NOT step foot on this ship if you have a real job and need to do any work whatsoever.
We cover some of this is our upcoming vlog. We tried to do a CZcams live and it seemed like they were blocking uploads. However a few other vloggers on the same voyage managed to do a live from the ship so 🤷
Disappointing that it said a review of the staterooms & suites yet no view/mention of accessible cabins anywhere? We are always overlooked & seeing size/layouts is often even more important to us, especially when we have mobility issues #theforgottenfew
Completely understand Suzanne but we can only show the cabins we are able to access whilst on the ship and we aren’t always able to access every different layout of cabin. Sorry to disappoint you though. But thanks for watching and commenting anyway 😊
Inside cabins are ideal. I am at a loss to understand why anyone needs a balcony. At least Cunard ships maintain a sense of elegance unlike the giant shopping malls. Bring back classic ocean liner design with port holes.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
The first room you showed is not going to age well. Cabinets made out of cheap laminate. Give it 12 months and it will be very shabby.
Only time will tell I suppose. We like the dressing table area, especially the round mirror with the patterned wallpaper behind it.
Thanks for watching.
Disappointed with the wardrobe space I must say! 😕
A few people have said this. Not sure why they’ve done this???
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Absolutely not impressed with what I get to see from the new Queen Anne. Rather mediocre really. Could be a new Costa-Ship.
Hopefully we’ll be able to change your perspective a bit with our upcoming videos. She’s still a very elegant ship even if she’s lost some of those timeless Cunard touches.
Thanks for watching. Make sure you’re subscribed for more Queen Anne content 😁👍
