    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

    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.

      how was your cruise Owen?? hope you enjoyed it. I am on the Celebrity Apex now and there is NO LIBRARY on the whole ship, which after being on the Cunard QE with such a huge beautiful library, this lack of library really is a crime (LOL). Thanks for your comment and cheers to Australia from off the coast of Cuba -- Nick

    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

We were given a RAT when we pulled into Hobart and rumor has it 19 of our 1600 guests tested positive. Once we got home, my cabin buddy tested positive too. I have managed to avoid COVID again!

    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?

      Hey Dennis! Sorry for the delay in replying: did you do your cruise yet? We pulled into the port in SF near the popular dock area. There were lots of shops down there and popular areas. It was not like a shipping container area, if you know what I mean. Sorry I don't have the exact name!

      howdy! I'm not exactly sure how this is handled now, or how it will be handled by that time. best bet is to ask the cruise line or stay tuned to international guidance. seems like things are chilling out now and guests are not required to wear a mask onboard (but staff are?)
