    My late Aunt paid for us to accompany her to New York and back on that magnificent ocean liner. The entire journey was incredible and seamless from embarkation to disembarkation. Thanks so much Auntie Mary, miss you so much. ❤

    Andy and Kristie, Glad you enjoyed QM2. Many of her “quirky” features are a direct result of her transatlantic pedigree, including having the lifeboats high in the ship to keep her lifeboats out of harms way on stormy crossings. Did you visit the Commodore Club on Deck 9 forward? It’s an iconic observation lounge with the largest ship model on board. Come back for a transatlantic -the ship excels on crossings!

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci +1

      That was one of the ships venues we missed. We'd love to do a longer voyage and see everything else for sure.

      @ajs11201 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@andyandkirstie Oh, dear! I think the Commodore Club is perhaps the finest of the bars on board. When you go back, do be sure to visit there.

    I was surprised about the cream being served has been changed. I cruised on all the Cunard ships over the decades multi[le times including a world cruise on the old QE ll before it retired. All the time they served scone with the real clotted cream! Enjoyed watching your video. Thank you both.

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 3 měsíci

      I think maybe they had run out, as we've since heard that cruise passengers on QM2 after our cruise had clotted cream served.

    Our first cruise was on the QM2! Beautiful ship and great experience! I've been waiting awhile for you guys to go on Cunard!!!
    A tip--if you do a transatlantic, go east to west. That way, you gain an extra hour almost every day and you get the amazing experience of sailing into NYC!

    • @andyandkirstie

    I booked my first Cunard trip on QV for 4 nights to Amsterdam for last October. Unfortunately mum was diagnosed with cancer so I rang Cunard to cancel. The amazing lady on the phone suggested that rather than cancel I postpone to this November so I wouldn’t loose my deposit. Unfortunately I lost mum in early August so as I had the time off work I booked the same trip for the October to lift my spirits. Like you I was pretty impressed with the Cunard experience (you should try breakfast in your cabin next time! Full English in your cabin, unheard of). My only niggle was one evening I was having a drink with some of my table companions and waited 25 mins from order to delivery. Not acceptable! Like you the Chart Room became my favourite bar! Thanks for an enjoyable video, best wishes to you noth

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci

You got me thinking of taking the same trip next year, as we will be ending our Norway cruise in Southampton. As always, I hope it won’t be too long before your next cruise. See you then.

    I’d love to see more of the British Isles cruises now that Dublin Port has been extended to take Cruise Ships - living in Manchester myself, I usually take the Irish Ferries Ulysses ferry from Holyhead to Dublin when visiting family in Ireland, but I’d always loved to join a cruise ship at Liverpool and sail across the Irish Sea that way, even though it’s 8 hours as opposed to being 3 hours from Holyhead

  • @emb74
    @emb74 Před 8 měsíci +1

    We’ve been on the ship 11 times now and we love her, so watching your 98% positive review was fun. We’re Americans and my husband is 75 and I have to say that I don’t think I have ever heard him use the word “lovely.” Must be a very British thing!

    We are sailing on Queen Victoria next friday for 4 nights to Amsterdam, only been on Cunard once before on Queen Victoria's maiden voyage year in 2007 so interested to see if it has changed. We have just booked Queen Mary for a 4 night trip to Hamburg next year so your vlog gave us an idea what to expect.

    A very enjoyable vlog. You both looked so elegant and pleased to see Andy in three different suits (hence the two suitcases at the end). The both of you and Cunard are a perfect match. Looking forward to seeing more Cunard trips. Superb filming of both food, music venues and your day excursion. Sometimes the occasional voice overs occur and thanks for including the bit losing your rag. It happens to us all. Cheers.

    In Mexico they serve margaritas in a standard glass like they served you on that ship. At least in most restaurants they do. Some restaurants they serve it in a fancy glass. The difference is what type of tequila or mescal they add to the drink. Thank you for the video!

  • @davidhouston3946
    @davidhouston3946 Před 9 měsíci

    Really enjoyed that. Great to see a couple on one of the short trips not aiming to dress to minimum standards. The ship deserves respect. We did 14 nights to NY and back as a once in lifetime trip, and will be repeating that annually from 2025. The delay being that by time we made the decision release date for 2024 had passed and we like to book on release. Other than one afternoon tea we took all meals in Britannia Club, same menu as Britannia. We'll do same again, no need for other restaurants. Lastly, sorry but everyone knows Cunard don't do clotted cream! Don't think we'd bother with afternoon tea again unless it was a tea dance.

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci

      Sounds amazing! A transatlantic is definitely on the bucket list. Not sure we'd do the afternoon tea again. It was OK as a one-off.

  • @baritonebynight
    @baritonebynight Před 6 měsíci

    This is the only way to travel comfortably across the Atlantic. Due to jet lag I can barely speak English getting off a transatlantic flight let alone French....and you get to meet so many interesting people on board from all over the UK, Canada, US and Europe. When I am forced to fly I am never happy until the plane is on the ground and I have my suitcase in my hand. When I cross on QM2, I never want it to end.

    @VikPaints Před 9 měsíci

    A great insight into the dining experiences. Your reaction to the mic issues was rather amusing (sorry) and I can appreciate it's very annoying but if anything it added some normality and humour to the video (CZcams can be very bland when stuff is edited to perfection). I really like how you edit your vlogs by the way, a lot of thought goes into the music and shots, it really does make a big difference, they are very relaxing to watch (mic issue aside). Getting that balance between vlogging content and enjoying your holiday must be a fine line. Thanks for sharing your adventure. P S. I've a large heavy hammer that might "fix" that mic for good, highly therapeutic lol. Thanks again, Vik 👍

    I meant the dress you wore on formal night, thank you for replying.

      That one was labelled live 2 love, but I'm not certain they exist anymore. Mine was new with a label from ebay 4 years ago £7.50!

    So is it Cunard, Marella, Holland America or Fred Olsen? How would you rate them in order of preference. Thank you

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 8 měsíci

      Genuinely wouldn't rate one better than another. They're just a little bit different than one another. If we were pushed, we'd both say Marella. Great ships, included drinks and gratuities and brilliant itineraries.

    Hi guys,
    That drink has a massive connection with Burnley. I don't know the whole story but it's sold at the football club. You can have a Benny and Hot.

      Wow, interesting! I Googled it after reading your comment and it seems like the troops brought it back after the Great War. I'd never heard that story. Thanks!

    We've always had clotted cream on Cunard. Maybe they ran out!

    How wonderful to tour the Benedictine distillery, it looks so beautiful and it is a magnificant liquor.

    Very good vlog. Great to see you on Cunard. I must say, their drinks are pricey but good. I just wish their Pina coladas were bigger.
    I went on QE earlier this year and we ate in the buffet most nights because of the food choices and quality. Very impressed.

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci

      Yes, I was impressed by the cocktail quality and choice. Definitely want to try more of the buffet next time.

    We went on QM2 for 1 week in June...our first cruise..It was nice but not outstanding. We thought all the oppulance went over our heads really... Norway was nice

      I'm sure there's a ship/cruise line that would suit you better if it wasn't your thing.

    Nice episode but it looks a bit boring for me but glad you both enjoyed it

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci

      It's not Oasis of The Seas that's for sure, but we definitely enjoy both styles of cruising.

    First time viewer of your channel -- great vlog! Next spring I'll be taking my first transatlantic on QM2. I was worried I might be too overdressed if I wore a suit on non gala nights, but after seeing how great you two looked I'm going for it. Looks like I'm going to need a bigger suitcase!

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yeah, I thought the same, but blended in fine wearing a suit and tie. Glad you enjoyed the video!

    Enjoyed this vlog. I'm quite certain, Andy, that you are younger than me, but you remind me very much of my Dad. He too enjoyed his morning coffee, and good steak, and his cocktails.
