Hi everyone! To answer some questions: The cost of the cruise was £291, so £145.50 per person which includes All meals, Activities, Daily entertainment, Port fees and taxes, Children's youth club 3-17 years, Cruise 2 nights. There was service charge added at $32 per person. I booked via SeaScanner and used a discount code (they often have a discount code on the go) 🚢 The magnetic hooks I use in the stateroom are available here: amzn.to/4g0Qnvl 🧲 The shuttle into Hamburg was excellent - v efficient & free! 🚌 Wine was from $28 a bottle at dinner 🍷 I’ll show you my fridge magnet in a future vlog 😝
I would love to see you have your own travel show on tv ,your are so enjoyable to watch ,thank you Mr Carrington for sharing your travel experience on such a beautiful ship 🚢
That out fit you wore on the last night is gorgeous. It looks so good on you. The ship had a very Titanic feel about it, which became a bit unnerving when the crew were sweeping ice off the decks!
Thank you, Mr.C, for taking us along with you. We are so glad that your partner, friends, and you had a lovely time. You looked very handsome in your suit.👍👍❤❤
What an absolutely classic cruise ship! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope we get to see some of your adventures in Hamburg 🇩🇪 I enjoy watching your videos from Germany
Lovely! I am not a cruiser, but thoroughly enjoy watching your experiences on board. The Queen Victoria looks a beautiful ship and I’m glad you had such a good trip - in spite of the weather! Thanks, Mr C.
Hi iwan..what a fantastic trip you have had ..watching it on a cold Monday night in the uk ..very envious.. but brought back memories of when I worked on cruise ships…look forward to your next experience…Chris😊
I LOVE your travel vlogs - I rewatch them while cooking dinner for the kids/hiding from them! Love the snow on the deck...very Narnia. Looking forward to more of your travels...I think my husband wishes I didn't watch as our travel budget has gone up since x
Hi Mr. C! I’m not a cruise lover because I can’t swim and I’m afraid of being in the middle of the ocean. Must be some kind of trauma from watching Titanic maybe. Lol 😅 That being said I must say this ship was beautiful and I enjoyed the tour. Thanks for taking us along as always. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas. 😊🚢⚓️
My dad went on the QUEEN MARY 1950’s when we left Halifax England. My mother and my sister took a plane to CDA. Miss my mom and dad. GORGEOUS SHIP MATE
What an amazing voyage to Hamburg! Entertainment Excellent food and wonderful view in the sauna. Excellent value too and an almost private cruise 🚢. Beautiful spacious room & bathroom and wonderful to see you on the blustery cold deck soaking in the heat in the hot tub! Smashed it. I much rather enjoy myself on a cruise than jet plane ( yawn) 🥱- way more excitement and bringing the holiday ambience a plane can’t give.
Thank you for this lovely video Iwan. It was great to see around the ship and it felt like we were with you onboard. I hope it was calmer waters for your return sailing!? ❤😻😻
I'm not usually one for cruising, but I love how polished and dignified this ship seems to be! I appreciate the more traditional and formal style of things. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hi mr c what a brilliant and wonderful video it was all amazing I loved it all u do a great job for us it looked like u had a fab time everything looked so good well worth the money I have been on one cruise 🚢 last year come home and booked two for this year we go on r first one in 4 weeks so excited just me and the husband thanks for taking us with u take care c u soon from Jackie 😊🚢🍾
I've always fancied a cruise but I do get seasick. So maybe a short one like this would be great to see how I get on...but I'd have to save lol. We live quite close to Tilbury where quite a few cruises go from. Thank you for a fantastic vlog. Please take care and all my love xx ❤️
What a lovely trip and the different areas of the ship are very nice - I prefer "traditional" to "old-fashioned"! Lovely food too, and plenty of time to relax (but not in the outdoor hot tub, too chilly).
Happy New Year, Iwan ! Great start to 2025 with this vlog. The staircases on the ship were giving me "Titanic" vibes & you looked so suave in your suit. Happy times x
Love these cruise videos. I love that you can go for a short time too, as Iv never been on one and I’m worried about sea sickness. I went on a boat trip on holidays and had sea legs for a day 🙈 but people say cruises are totally different. I think a short one is a good way to test the waters ☺️⚓️⛴️
That looked amazing. I’d put on so much weight on a cruise. Also the motion is weird with me. That rocking sensation goes with me on land and takes about a week to go. If I stand still I can still feel the ship moving and it makes me feel a bit nauseous 😛. We did a couple of Caribbean cruises which were fantastic. Love cruising. Thanks for showing us around.
Mr C, what a lovely video,snowing on a cruise 😮 I would have rugged up with one of those red tartan blankets and sipped champagne outside .I really loved those navy velvet scatter cushions in your room with the gold emblem ❤
Thank you for this, very useful. We've booked a 4 night cruise (Hamburg and back) on Queen Victoria as our first ever cruise at the end of March! Trying to work out what extras to pre-book looks quite confusing (and expensive) but as it's celebrating my 60th I think we'll just say 'sod it' and enjoy ourselves!
Yay!!! A 55 minute video on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise and at this point in my life will not. But I love to watch cruise videos. I watch a couple of people on TT whose channel is only cruising...love it 💜💙💚💛🧡
Really enjoyed your short cruise to Hamburg vlog Iwan. I haven’t cruised with Cunard but have been on about 8 or 9 cruises. It looks classically British and I wouldn’t mind looking at some of their itinerary. Hope you enjoyed your break 💖
Oh! Mr.Carrington! What a great video to start this year's adventure with you. This is just the kind of cruise I'd love to take. I would need at least a whole week to enjoy all the different spaces that the ship offers. I love old style hotels and I'm sure I would really enjoy a experience on a cruise like this. I really appreciate you taking time away from your friends to take us on this tour, it almost seems as we are there with you. ❤ Have a great Sunday whatever you are up to!
I could definitely see you as a more gentile and classy version of a Walk with me Tim as a new Carrington Travel Series including venues and posh hotels.
Hello there..thanks for that..very enjoyable..loved your fancy blue suit..the accompanying music too..that swimming pool looked choppy ..looked like you were the only one to brave the hot tub..☘️♥️
I was on this cruise but did the full 7 nights from southampton to southampton. It was my first time on queen victoria but have done QM2 4 times. I think you really captured ship so well and impressed what you managed to do in a two night trip. I never made it to the sauna but am going to on my next one.
Evening Mr Carrington, love you cruise vlog, very lovely and your cabin and view. Very good price as well, thank you for sharing your trip, hope you both had an amazing time 👍
What Is An Over-Easy Egg? Unlike their sunny-side up brethren, an over-easy egg is flipped mid-cook so both sides get some heat. It is pulled from the pan while the yolk is still runny, before it hits medium or hard consistency, but the whites stay in tact. It's also called ``over-easy'' for a reason--be easy on it!
The founder of Cunard is Canadian, Samuel Cunard, but these days it's a British company. An over easy egg is cooked on both sides but the sunny side is cooked very briefly, leaving it still runny. We are going on a P and O cruise in May to coincide with our 25 wedding anniversary, so driving to Southampton from Plymouth, the carpark is thrown in for the whole week, doing the all inclusive. Check webby as it depends what you want. But now you are getting us thinking about this one at some point. Another time in the future we want to do a cruise which goes to Valetta in Malta and will stay there for a bit and visit The Pub where the late great Oliver Reed, well you must know the story of what happened there when he was filming Gladiator.
Cunard is a British operated American owned shipping company (Carnival), if you haven’t already, buy some shares for the free onboard credit if you cruise regularly.
What a beautiful ship mr c .you certainly had a lovely trip..hope you bought a fridge magnet from shops...food looked gorgeous...thanks for taking us along with you.🏴🥂
Iwan so lovely to see you spending time with partner and friends. It’s a beautiful cruise line and gorgeous inside. Thank you for sharing your trip . You always do a great job showing all the exciting parts and amenities. Enjoyed so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
My husband and I love watching your channel. It tempts us to travel to England but we are concerned London would be too crowded for us. Take good care of yourself!
Happy New Year, Mr Carrington. What a lovely way to start 2025! Watching this video made me feel like a part of your cruise. Glad to see you enjoyed it
Mr. C what a fantastic review. I love that you get into many small details that other people would overlook. The meals looked beautiful, loved the sauna & shower view, very special. Things like the library where wonderful. And being in a sweltering Australia missing my London right now, I did love seeing the snow. Thank you so much.
I absolutely love these vlogs.. always makes me feel like i have been on the ship too ..and what a beautiful one it is too.. Thanks as always for making it interesting and fun too 🙂
Hello Mr.C from the USA! Loved the ship! Thank you for sharing. It was amazing 🎉 over easy eggs are what we eat in the USA and it is fried on both sides but lightly so you can have yolk .It's delicious. Have a great week!❤
HNY what better way to celebrate a new year than a cheeky cruise…. I love cruising…. It looks a lovely ship will have to put her on my bucket list… looking forward to your blogs this year

Wine was from $28 a bottle at dinner 🍷
I’ll show you my fridge magnet in a future vlog 😝
Amazing price. I was expecting it to be much more. Really enjoyed the visit, thanks x
How on earth is this a profitable enterprise for Cunard?! I don’t get it.
Mr Carrington needs to be given his own travel TV show. I just love your travel vlogs 👏
I agree 😊
Absolutely!
Loved the video i feel as though I was there with you without the expense.
What a beautiful ship. I love the old fashioned style.
I would love to see you have your own travel show on tv ,your are so enjoyable to watch ,thank you Mr Carrington for sharing your travel experience on such a beautiful ship 🚢
Mr Carrington is turning into Judith charmers..... Definitely needs his own travel show x
That's vlogger dedication that is - getting up THAT EARLY to vlog the ship while it's nice and quiet. :)
Loved the waiter jumping into frame at 21:24 😂
I can’t believe this cruise was so cheap! The Queen Victoria looks so beautiful, amazing decor, so much to see and do….Fantastic. Great vlog!! 👌🏻
Mr Carrington is so delightfully comforting …such a joy every time
I will probably never get to do a Cruise, so I live vicariously through you. As others have said you should have your own travel show!
Nearly an hour of video? You spoil us 😂 Can't wait to watch!
Such a lovely trip! This is my kind of cruise. Thanks for sharing!
That out fit you wore on the last night is gorgeous. It looks so good on you. The ship had a very Titanic feel about it, which became a bit unnerving when the crew were sweeping ice off the decks!
What a treat! Thanks as always for taking the time to vlog. Such a beautiful ship and you looked fab in your suit! ❤
Thank you, Mr.C, for taking us along with you. We are so glad that your partner, friends, and you had a lovely time. You looked very handsome in your suit.👍👍❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed your travel vlog on Cunard's Queen Victoria, Mr Carrington ❤
What an absolutely classic cruise ship! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope we get to see some of your adventures in Hamburg 🇩🇪 I enjoy watching your videos from Germany
Lovely! I am not a cruiser, but thoroughly enjoy watching your experiences on board. The Queen Victoria looks a beautiful ship and I’m glad you had such a good trip - in spite of the weather! Thanks, Mr C.
Did a 23 day Caribbean cruise with Cunard on the QE . fantastic, you just cannot beat a Cunard cruise . They do it proper!!!
My sister and brother in-law have been on that ship a few times. Love watching your travel vlogs. xx

@MrCarrington ah right I see! Quicker and calmer then! 😂👍
love your travel vlogs Mr. C! Especially delighted when I find out its almost an hour long :)
What a lovely vlog! Thank you so much for sharing & for taking us along with you, especially for those of us who can't afford a cruise! 🛳 ❤️ xxx

You would love it!! 😀
Hi Mr C, lovely to see you. Im not a fan of cruising but enjoy your vlogs.
Thankyou for taking us around with you. Looked amazing.
What could be better than to start Sunday morning on a cruise.
Thank you for taking us along. 😊❤
Great vlog, everything looked really fabulous, many thanks for sharing xx
What a stunning ship.
That looked amazing. I’d put on so much weight on a cruise. Also the motion is weird with me. That rocking sensation goes with me on land and takes about a week to go. If I stand still I can still feel the ship moving and it makes me feel a bit nauseous 😛. We did a couple of Caribbean cruises which were fantastic. Love cruising. Thanks for showing us around.
Looks really nice and the suit is very smart. I hope you're nice and relaxed now x❤🇮🇪
Mr C, what a lovely video,snowing on a cruise 😮 I would have rugged up with one of those red tartan blankets and sipped champagne outside .I really loved those navy velvet scatter cushions in your room with the gold emblem ❤
I sailed on Queen Victoria to Norwegian Fjords and loved it.
Mr c x so handsome in your suit x loved this vlog happy New year x
Now I’m researching Cunard cruises ! Loved the Volg 😊
Fabulous video. I really enjoyed it , brightened up my day.
I hope you all had a lovely time x
Thank you for this, very useful. We've booked a 4 night cruise (Hamburg and back) on Queen Victoria as our first ever cruise at the end of March!

Just know I’m going to love this cruise vlog! You must try celebrity cruises if you get the opportunity
No, they are tacky. Cunard is far more classy.
I’ve heard they are fab!
Cunard is the way to go.
Cunard is the way cruising use to be . - classy
Yay!!! A 55 minute video on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise and at this point in my life will not. But I love to watch cruise videos. I watch a couple of people on TT whose channel is only cruising...love it 💜💙💚💛🧡
Loved every minute of this video! I remember one blisteringly cold January (1978 I think) in Hamburg when the Alster froze and we all walked on it.
This was so entertaining.
Really enjoyed your short cruise to Hamburg vlog Iwan. I haven’t cruised with Cunard but have been on about 8 or 9 cruises. It looks classically British and I wouldn’t mind looking at some of their itinerary. Hope you enjoyed your break 💖

Just loved this.😊🇨🇦
Iwan Mum and Dad Went on The victoria.
Really Lovely Seeing Round the Boat.Xx 😘
Hello Iwan and partner...over easy is that the eggs are only turned once so the yolks are still 'runny'....love your vlogs, James ❤❤
I could definitely see you as a more gentile and classy version of a Walk with me Tim as a new Carrington Travel Series including venues and posh hotels.
Hello there..thanks for that..very enjoyable..loved your fancy blue suit..the accompanying music too..that swimming pool looked choppy ..looked like you were the only one to brave the hot tub..☘️♥️

We’ve booked our first Cunard cruise on the Queen Anne later in the Spring! So excited. We have cruise many times before on other lines.
Love the blog Mr C,you look great i all your different outfits so smart. ❤❤🤗
What a lovely trip !! Quite magical sailing into snowy Hamburg. Hope you have your land legs back after all the wobbling about. ⛴️

Fabulous vlog as always. ❤
What a fab trip. Shame about the rough seas 😬
Beautiful ship, what a lovely cruise ❤❤
I have a 4 night Bahamas cruise at the end of January, and a 12 night transatlantic crossing in April so this was so nice to watch and get me ready!
I absolutely love these vlogs.. always makes me feel like i have been on the ship too ..and what a beautiful one it is too.. Thanks as always for making it interesting and fun too 🙂
That cup wow I loved 🥰 being there in video if not in person it was a wonderful experience and adventure today xoxo
