The word is definitely Metropolitan is definitely metropolitan America big city northern New York Chicago, Seattle maybe LA
Love your take on the Queen Anne. The phrase “drawing room” is short for “withdrawing room,” because back in the day, guests would withdraw from the dining room into a general entertaining room.
…whilst the gentleman remain to smoke and drink port.
@@caroleceres a little bit sad the lads did not know this, but i have to remember they are a fare bit younger than me
Cruises from Southampton to Iceland last year 👍
The ladies would gossip and drink tea, some music would be played until the men returned.
@caroleceres
Even as far back as Titanic there were some feisty women that refused to be shoved off to a drawing room. ;)
I've read that a few rich ladies even ignored conventions and joined the men in the first class smoking room. Which was technically allowed on titanic by white star, because it was just about the latest craze among modern influential women, but it was rather frowned upon.
In fact the equivalent of a mostly women only drawing room on Titanic, the first class reading and writing room, was the least popular room on the ship.
Most women preferred the first class lounge and/or just stayed at their tables after dinner.
You two lift my spirits. Individually and as a couple, you have such positive energy.
"Well shiver me timbers and call me Jack Sparrow!" 😂 I think that is Ben's best saying yet!
Nah. Martha-Stewart-Behind-Bars! will take a lot of beating😂😂😂
Nah,two queens on another queen!😅
@@justwatching190 haha, did love that too.
@@justwatching190 😆👍🏻
"Put me an a beach and call me Sandy"
Love that one.
Oscar & Teddy are so lucky to have you two as Uncles! You guys are so much fun, i bet they never want you to leave when ya’ll visit ❤️
It’s very art deco. Expecting Poirot to make an appearance!
Sorry - the words TRUMP TACKY come to mind when looking at the cabins. I love these guys. Their humour, accuracy and observations are spot on. Well done.
"Ben, this is why we don't go on Cunard" 😂😂
And this is why i love watching your videos. Hoping I can go on cruise one day, but for now i'll live vicariously through your videos.
hahahaaa "two queens on another queen" had me dying laughing! 🤣 Love your videos! 💗
Ben, your camara work...slow and easy...should win awards! Love you both...don't get jelly David.
Love the aura of gracious refinement. No loud, raucous colors. Nothing screaming "tropical". The ship carries an atmosphere of elegant relaxation - so needed in turbulent, high-tech times. I'd actually love a cruise on this particular ship - something I've never longed for. I hope one day (soon!) Ben and David, you book a cruise on this lovely addition to sea-faring ships.
Hi Ben and David it’s only Louise again - as you know I always look forward to Sunday nights ~ but tonight’s even better as it’s nearly an hour long ~ it’s been a really tough week but I’m seeing the multiple sclerosis nurse on Tuesday so hopefully we can sort a few things out. I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and that you have a brilliant week - once again thank you so much for all your hard work and putting these Vlog/videos together. It really does mean a lot - sending a lot of love and hugs to you both. ~ Xxx Xxx
Hi Louise, I have Multiple Sclerosis as well! I hope you get everything worked out. I'm getting myself prepared to do my first cruise next year despite my MS. I'm very excited!
@@AngelaHarrell-iz8js hi it’s only me ~ thank you so much for your message - multiple sclerosis is horrible. I’m in the middle of a flareup at the moment. I’m seeing the nurse tomorrow and the doctor is popping in this afternoon - I live in a rehabilitation centre as im either bedbound or wheelchair bound - I hope your cruise next year goes really well and that you thoroughly enjoy it - have a good week healthwise ~ Xxx
Louise, I hope the nurse and doctor can assist you in feeling better soon. It is wonderful to have channels like Ben & David who can take us on new experiences every week!❤❤❤
Penhaligon's is a very well known British Perfumer, established 1870..I guess you haven't got around to dropping in to their Regent street shop yet?😉
Most certainly not, when the're calling it "Pentaglions"! 😂
Also Chester, Liverpool. Plenty of shops, although there is no T in penhaligans 🤣 not sure where that came from when pronouncing 🙈
What a wonderful video. The camera work is so professional. Such a beautiful ship. You guys just cheer everyone up who might be having a difficult day. You should have your own talk show, too.
Ben and David are the BEST at making beautiful cruise videos imho 🤗
The Princess Grill cabins are like the Mini Suites.
The Princess Grill Suite is beautiful!
Our Cunard cruise a few years ago from Melbourne to Hobart and back on the Queen Elizabeth remains in my memory as one of my favourite cruise ships and experiences. I loved that there was a community large jigsaw that everyone could work on over the cruise, on a specially designed table. The afternoon tea was quite the highlight and experience. I loved that there was a ballroom and you could see into it from a walkway on an upper level. In the evening an old fashioned band would play and there would be lots of couples ballroom dancing there. Wonderful to watch. We turned up for dinner one night and my husband had forgotten his formal jacket. Staff went into a panic. As our room was at the other end of the ship, we were asked to wait outside the door whilst they fussed around and somebody found a mens jacket. Bob was a big fella, so no way he could fit into it. But they had him put his arm out, they carefully draped their jacked over his arm and we were allowed to enter the dining room. The jacket was then placed on the back of the chair, and all was well in their formal world. I find it so odd that an Aussie could have experienced a Cunard cruise, at home, before you two experienced cruisers were to go on one of their ships. Enjoy your cruise.
Thanks for the awesome report! We are booked on Queen Ann in January when she comes to NYC! Beyond excited. 🎉
Understated elegance. Sublime. Refined. Sophisticated. Graceful. Polished. Distinguished. Opulent. Exquisite. Classic. Smart. All these words apply to that ship.
Woohooo! Here really early, saw the notification and had to immediately watch Ben & David, need my weekly fix. 💕
Really glad to see you guys on here - looks like Cunard have done a wonderful job with the new Queen!
I have sailed on Cunard many times, the first in 1967 on the original Queen Elizabeth. Princess Grill Suites are nice, but once you go Queen's Grill, you'll never go back. So happy to hear they've installed StarLink. Wifi on the Queen Mary 2 is dreadful, but the fabulous Churchill's Cigar Lounge makes up for any shortcomings.
All Cunard ships are now equipped with Starlink wifi including the Queen Mary 2.
This is so totally awesome Ben and David! And going on the Queen Anne! How incredible and cool!
Wait, I deffo missed something… I thought neither of you drove but David is a new driver… congrats!! 🎉
I love that Babbel is the sponsor- do they teach Kensington? make sure you have the proper accent onboard??
So I have a fear of cruising and you guys make me actually want to overcome this and go sailing thanks again for your video ❤
OMG - you guys made me spit out my coffee laughing with your salt and pepper holders bit!! 🤣 Love you guys! ❤ This video is making me want to try this line - am enjoying the regal feel. Can’t wait to see your videos on your upcoming TA on the Queen Mary!
I did the Queen Mary 2 from NY to Southampton years ago! The captain made an announcement when we were over the area where the Titanic went down.
Well that was great 😮
Last May we used Onward Travel Solutions (car hire) which took us from our hotel near Heathrow to Horizon Cruise Terminal in Southampton, 4 people & 5 pieces of luggage for £144. Same price for the drive back to Heathrow after our cruise. Great customer service, on time & gave us peace of mind.
You're both very detailed oriented...it brings to life the ships you explore.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoy the details. We love bringing the ships to life for you!
We went on the Queen Elizabeth a few years ago. They had a bookshop on board and I found it amusing that one of the books for sale was about shipwrecks of the Cunard Line.
That sounds like quite the irony! Did you end up getting the book?
@@Cruisewith No. But it gave me a great story to tell people. 🙂
The name drawing room is actually a shortening of the proper name of the room which is the withdrawing room.
I’ve been on the Queen Elizabeth with Cunard sailing to Alaska from Canada. It was wonderful. A very traditional sailing on a traditional ship. Would I do it again after all my other RC cruises & MSC? Yes. Best afternoon tea service & presentation. Cheers
Ben, your enthusiam and love of cruising is apparent. When I watch your posts, I always feel like booking another cruise, lol. Going on Jade in 3 weeks, Princess in Dec. Love you guys!
I simply love how you share your every experience with us…..truly feel like I’m there with you ….its amazing….thank you for taking so much time to show us everything 💕💕
FYI, you can get a direct train with Southern from Gatwick to Southampton which takes just under 2hr and an off peak single is £20, advance singles can be had for £10
I love every video you boys make, as you always do such a great job at giving thorough reviews with professionalism, warmth and humour! 🥰 This one was no exception, and I found it really interesting to see what a new Cunard ship would be like. What a lovely ship she is! 💞
You boys make so many of us smile!😊😊😊Thank you for your work! Well done again!🎖🎖🎖😎😎😎🌟🌟🌟 (Would have loved you to have started with a bit of video of visiting your very cute nephews!🌺🌺🌺)
I so love dark woods....this ship is beautiful!
I don't do cruieses anymore (last time in the 90s), but I think this one would be my choice. A bit traditional with modern twists. Very cool! Thx for yet another amazing series! x
David, I think the word you were looking for to describe the decor, the word I would use is Elegant.
Elegant is definitely a fitting word for the decor. Appreciate your input!
Ben and David you are both absolutely brilliant,we live in Portsmouth,I love seeing what ships are in when we go to Southampton,we are going on our first cruise in September with virgin,can't wait love to you both♥️♥️xxxx
Omg Ben pretty sure the lack of sleep caught up with Ben using the salt shakers.
The experience did look fantastic
That’s what she said bingo shades of the American version of the office ! My wife and I love you two safe travels!
Loved this ❤ thank you ❤
It's lovely to see you both in such a calm environment :)
I’m getting art deco vibes in some areas. It looks beautiful 😍
I love the QM2- there is nothing like transatlantic on the QM2! We also love modern Celebrity ships and many people are comparing the Queen Anne to those ships. We are booked for the QA world cruise 2025. I am sure we are going to love it.
Thanks Guy's great perspective,
We've just come back from her maiden voyage to Maderia 14 nights, we quite enjoyed the ship, the Pavilion was a nice area, along with the Commodore club, the staff are still getting used to how best to operate the ship, the 'service' lifts had issues, so the luggage had to be distributed via the passenger lifts, which made for interesting stair climbs for people who need lifts, but with a few weeks behind them, and various maintenance visits, the systems, and staff will start to fall into place, the wi-fi is great and worked perfectly, I didn’t hear any one complain about that.
The couple of stage shows we visited were very good, Brief Encounter (Theatre) & Noir (Bright lights society) were quite a departure from Cunard’s standard theatre productions, I thoroughly enjoyed them both, Looking forward to your review of Queen Mary 2 for your crossing
thanks again guys.
We have been sailing with Cunard for a while now
Always a enjoyable experience
Definitely a favourite
Hi Ben and David. Happy Sunday. Now my weekend is complete. The ship looks beautiful. I think the look is opulent without being stuffy, it's relaxed and inviting. As always thank you for all your hard work and letting us be a part of it. ❤❤
Great review guys.... I used to work on QE2 ... Best time of my life.... The Drawing Room is actually named originally as the "Withdrawing Room" ... Where guests (mainly women) would 'withdraw" to after dinner, whilst men would withdraw to the "smoking room" .... Keep up the great work guys xx
Thank you for sharing your experience! That’s really interesting to know. We appreciate your support and kind words! xx
Loved this!
Thank you for the tour!
That Nutella pastry looked amazing!
Ben and those salt and pepper shakers - only scene you need to see 😂😂😂😂
Great review, thanks Ben and David, I love how you treat your review subjects with respect but still make your reviews fun and lighthearted!
One of the signs on board read, “This Way Out” instead of just “Exit”. Cute.
Wow, what a beautiful ship thank you for sharing.
You will love QM2. We did our first ever cruise on it and have now booked Queen Anne for 2026 to Norway and the North Cape.
Beautiful ship and cabins! Thank you for your time and updates. You Are Amazing. May God bless you and your families. I enjoy the videos so much.
So glad to see you back, was missing you both. Loved thos vid x
Thanks for another fabulous review. ❤
Thanks! Wish we were in Southampton … onboard for the POSH!

Middle classes picked up on this. Middle class are social climbers. They ran with this and aged other upper class behaviours.
I love your content so much. Thank you!
Delightful as always
David, your amber frames are 🔥 they really suit you
You requested comments from people who have been on Cunard previously. I have done a Trans-Atlantic on the QEII and also cruise to the Continent starting in Southampton on the QEII, Most recently, my friend and I were on a 12 day Baltic cruise on the Queen Victoria. We splurged for a Princess Grill Jr. Suite. A fabulous trip in all respects. We have done about 22 cruises and this one was one of the most memorable.
Appreciate the Titanic references, because the class system on Cunard does seem like that. I have only cruised once, on Holland America to Alaska last year, and one thing that made me it fun was knowing that those of us in cheap cabins could have the same experience outside our cabins as the people in suites. There was no sense of being lesser than anybody else.
Stunning. It looks so welcoming I love how you both describe things💗. Yeah. Your next cruise will be to the USA!
Great video bros, very pro. Appreciate the sense of humour too... queens on the queen, shiver me timbers and call me Jack and the 'drawing room. Keep up the good work.
So great to see your reactions again! Missed you guys ❤
Great fun guys. Thanks
Our pleasure!
Looks great. Looking forward to your video on the Queen Mary ❤
Thank you lads for this fabulous review including your usual humour. I can't wait to board her in November..........cheers x
Great video, thank you so much! 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
So exciting...we have done 2 cruises on the Queen Elizabeth and a cruise earlier this year on the QM2...loved them...we are cruising on Queen Anne in July...
Thanks for sharing. Ben I love your hair.
Thanks for sharing. I can't wait! My husband and I will be on the ship in December - bound for the Canary Islands.
Love you both!! Great overview. N😅w on my bucket list.
The word I use for things like the lifts would be. "Elevated" no pun intended. i.e. "This space feels very elevated."
Many thanks for your great review. The ship looks elegant and now we desperately want to go on her. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this Ben and David. Sailing A Cunard cruise is #3 on my bucket list behind trips to Greece and Japan. ❤🎉😊
Great tour guys, what a beautiful ship. On my bucket list. Save journey home. Looking forward to your next video.
Love Cunard, service at its best 😊
What fun it would be to be on a cruise with you both. Thanks for the insight and laughs.
What a lovely ship . She has some great pastel colors. And David , maybe the word you were looking for is high-end . She feels like she was built for grown people , I really like the fact you don't get a stroke with too many vivid colors
She's really a queen. Makes me decide that my next cruise will be on her .
Great video as always Ben and David 👏
Well done lads great video as ever
Understated elegance!
You guys sure just the best 👍🏻🚢😎
She looks like a modern twist on 1920's art deco in design, lovely if I say so myself!
I love Cunard and this ship is stunning. I've sailed both Princess and Queens classes
Thank you for our new drinking game. Every time you two say Amazing, or Stunning its bottoms up.
I have only cruised Cunard once. Way back in 1995 on the QE2. I just remember the food was a cut above the standard cruise ship fare and, the afternoon tea was to die for. I really would like to cruise the line once again.
That sounds like an amazing experience
Ben and David,
I so enjoy your reviews that are much much better than the usual boring reviews. I love your comprehensive details, spiced with your fun humor along the way. You have become my first choice among all.
I cruise quite often, so I enjoy not only the excellent content you provide, but also the fun entertainment value. Love you guys! ❤
Fabulous as usual 😊. We are on QA later this year, so really looking forward to it after your great review.
I’ve been patiently waiting for another video!! Lovely ship!! Love the little touches in the room!! Fabulous review as always!!! (Love cruising! Just got home from a second sailing on Wonder!) You bring us so much joy!!! Thank you Ben and David!!!😊❤
would love to enjoy this someday as well.
we are booked on Queen Anne in 2026.....sooooooo excited. it will be our first Cunard. I have been waiting for this ship! Now I think we might book another for 2025 because I'm not sure I can wait!!
Thank you for taking us a long. Giving us a tour and taste of this Cunard ship 😊. Thats lovely you had a Great time seeing Oscar & Teddy 🤍
Hows the House hunting going?
Have a Good week 🥰
Absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to seeing what your cruise on QM2 is like - wondering if maybe we should try Cunard after all!
A gorgeous ship!!!!
I can’t believe I missed this yesterday! I didn’t get a notification! Love your videos!
