Hi Nick. I’m booked for 7 nights Alaska out of Seattle, July 2025. Your video is awesome. It’s easy for the audience to tell how much you love the look and aesthetic of this beautiful vessel.

Excellent review. We are booked on the Queen Elizabeth for a month, Japan, Circumnavigation, then on to Alaska, Inside Passage and down to Seattle in May '25. We are Azamara addicts. We've had several cruises on Celebrity, pleasant but nothing really worth going out of your way for, and Norwegian from Iceland to New York, tolerable, but not much more than that. Our main complaint with the non Azamara cruises is the noise, everywhere, and constant. Thanks for your comment, I think I made a great choice with Cunard. And the pictures you have of the Queen seem very luxurious, our speed. Very much appreciated.

Hi Nick, My name is Chris and I will be embarking Queen Elizabeth in San Francisco in three weeks time. Starting to get excited! We will cruise from there to Sydney Australia stopping at Honolulu, the Apia before two ports in Fiji and two in New Caledonia before heading for Melbourne and Sydney In total 25 nights onboard. Thought your video was one of the most interesting I have found. Left me with a very good impression of the ship. Looks wonderful. As an ex-Cunard seafarer from many years ago, (1967 to 1972) I am very interested to get an.experience of the current standards in Cunard. They do not appear to have declined. I'm really looking forward to experiencing this trans-pacific voyage now that I'm in my 80's. From your video I can see that the ship is wonderfully designed and fitted out. It is oppulent in decoration. I have been upgraded to a de-luxe interior midships stateroom which, from the photos, looks very spacious and we'll furnished. Looks great. Plan to.take advantage of all the activities available onboard. Thanks for the video.

Hi Chris!! Thanks for leaving this note. I appreciate it when people take the time to leave me some comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's hard to show everything in one video, but I did my very best. And yes, PLEASE, take advantage of all the activities that you can - I can say that it's truly WORTH IT!! Have a great trip ahead!

Loved your vid! Bought back memories of my '18 cruise on her from San Francisco to Sydney. I don't think I could do a boisterous ship like Royal Carib. for the 22 days of that cruise. QE was just right. Great food, outstanding itinerary, elegant, not too large of a ship, great table mates, fantastic service (prepandemic), no waterslides or rock climbing etc. but never bored. The lectures were especially excellent. A wonderful way to explore Hawaii and the South Seas.

The lectures sound SO NICE! I love being on a cruise and feeling like I am learning, always a "lifelong learner" attitude for me. Visiting Hawaii and the South Seas like that on the Cunard sounds great. Thanks for your comment and Happy New Year!! Nick

I so enjoyed your tour. My husband and I are going on the August Vancouver roundtrip Alaska cruise. I went on ocean liners as a child and once as a teenager and have wanted to repeat the experience for years. I loved being on the open ocean. My husband hasn't been. I think this will be fun, even if a lot more formal than the casual pandemic lifestyle we've adopted (we live in the SF suburbs, not very dressy). Maybe we'll enjoy dressing up again. We are in the Balcony Club. What is the protocol for tipping? At the end on the whole bill or as you go?

Great video. We have sailed Qm2 about 15 X. Yes Cunard skews older but that does not bother us. Gives us a break from modern life, and a chance to step back in time. I enjoyed the originality of your video and tour since we have QE booked for Alaska next summer and have never been aboard. Pro Tip re: Pol Acker (in case you sail Cunard again)... Take it home and if you need to refinish your wood floors, you can use it to strip the varnish off. In a pinch you can also use it to clean a bathtub ;) Read Cruise Critic for running jokes on Pol Acker.

Hi there Nick. Thanks for that tour. I don't visit men's bathrooms so thanks for that inclusion! I am heading off on the Queen Elizabeth (first cruise) for 7 days from December 15th, 2022, from Melbourne, around Tasmania and then back to Melbourne, Australia. We just had a ship pull into Sydney full of COVID. I'm concerned I will be made to isolate for 5 of my 7 days to my room with a small balcony, small shower and small fridge! Hope it's not gonna happen. I am looking forward to sneaking around the places you did and checking out everything on the menu too. Cheers, Sophia
