就航したばかりのクナード クイーン アンは、同社史上最新かつ最新のクルーズ船です。これは、当社の完全なレビュー、船のツアー、そして率直な意見です。
14 年かけて建造されたクナードにとって、新しい船を就航させることは非常にまれです… では、これは特別な船なのでしょうか? すべてがうまくいった船なのでしょうか? 私たちはちょうど 1 週間乗船して戻ってきて、船を隅々までテストしました。
クナードが傑作を創り上げたのか、それとも間違いを犯したのかを判断するために、船のあらゆる側面をレビューします。なぜなら、クナードは他の船とは非常に異なるからです。クイーン メリー 2、クイーン エリザベス、クイーン ビクトリアはアールデコとビンテージ スタイルです。一方、クナードは外観と雰囲気がはるかにモダンです。クナードは正しい選択をしたのでしょうか?
新しいレストランもたくさんあります。

This should be interesting, as I think we'll visit the fjords next year, but not on Cunard.
👏👏👏👏
Bonus Ritzy post work on a Monday? Yes please
So I am sitting here excited pitch perfect for this live and then my wife comes with "DINNER!".. 😮… Now I am back again … 🤷♂️🥸
You’ve just made my Monday evening! 😊
A great watch, thank you. We board tomorrow and are more excited after watching this! Look forward to the next episode
Informative and entertaining! I appreciate your humor above all else, Bill. Sparkling dialogue, wonderful photography – you are a true ambassador for travel and cruising…a beacon.
I never get to take European cruises so I live vicariously through this channel 😊😊😊
What a wonderful video to match a wonderful cruise. I'm putting Norway on my bucket list. I hope to be on the Queen Anne next year. Thanks for the sneak peek!
Another smashing video. Thanks!👍
I love your vlogs especially your humour, very enjoyable, thank you for taking the time to do them for us.
What a lovely , and very elegant family I really enjoy these videos. Room service in these inside QA cabins on every review seems to be an impossible dream!
What about air quality inside? Did it feel stuffy? I am a Solo Lady traveller that needs fresh air and thus desires Balcony cabin. Planning to cruise around Norway on Havila which being a smallish ship can squeeze into more fjords in 2026
Every time on a cruise, I simply gorge myself for 3 days and then calm down to normal portions after going ga gaaaa in the varietyof food 🥘 I must admire your wife’s self control and admire her toned arm muscles 😂
Yummmm fish pie!! OoooooScotch eggs😍. When did you sail? Should I go in September or October? The weather looks ideal
Your daughter looked sooo elegant in her flowery long gown. And your wife’s dazzling gown. Simply gorgeous 👍🏻 Did that gown punch a neat hole in Daddy’s pocket🤣🤣🤣
Funny but not funny, how small your cabin was and your gracious humour. Your photography is amazing and thoroughly enjoyed your experience so far 😀
I made the mistake of watching this before eating and was ravenous when it ended
Thank you Bill!
If Cunard think they are competing with celebrity they are one million miles away. No atmosphere. Food not up to scratch. Service just so so Cabins was a Brittannia club and was ok bathroom better than other queens by still tiny as was the room still much smaller than a solstice class room on celebrity . We like short weekend cruises say 4 days and Cunard is the only one out of Southampton in winter. So stuck with Cunard
Nice coverage of fjords and QA. I’m still wondering how you could have someone else’s luggage for 2 days and not know it? Sympathies to luggage-less others
Nice video. Love your style 🎉
I’d be in trouble. I have no clue how to ballroom dance.
Hello Bill that. Breakfast was a bit of a squeeze who designs these cabins without allowing for comfort a real fault I will be joining QA in February for a sector of the World cruise so will reserve my judgement. Greetings from Sydney.
Hi Bill. The ladies looked wonderous in their ball gowns, especially your daughter, her gown was "Magically Beautiful."
I think if they put a spinning cube hanging in the ceiling of the Queens Room on the Queen Mary, there would be a mutiny !!! he he he
Here in Canada, when I see the rushing water coming from the glaciers in Alberta, one wonders, is all that falling water good for the glacier ??
This was an enjoyable presentation. Well Done Bill and family !!
Beautiful!!
Another enjoyable presentation Bill and family. Oh my! That cabin is very tiny! Could almost tolerate one that size if it was an outside one with a window at least.
One of the best reviews I've watched ever. You just put so much humor and care into it and it's just captivating to watch.
So, I love the ports, especially the first one because I love quaint/charming small towns. The other ports were picturesque and that's wonderful as well.
your stateroom is small but it has one quality to it that I'm glad to see. It's not taupe. The cabins on the new Princess, Celebrity and other ships are taupe. In fact, the Queen Anne doesn't suffer much from what I call the griege craze which I don't care for personally. I think the ship is fine. Yes, it's different than other Cunard ships but still, Bright Lights society and chart room and Commodore club are strong points. The atrium is so-so as is the Queens Room so the Queens Room would be the biggest let down as that's a true signature of Cunard. Still, it's way better than the Sun Princess and Celebrity Edge ships IMO, at least how they've defined their products. And your children do seem to enjoy the Cunard style. So young people can enjoy "traditional" cruising.
Thanks much and I look forward to your views on HAL. It's the same ship, just with different decor and cruise style. Should be interesting. And Virgin. Well, that should be different!
I have cruised many inside cabins and all were vastly better than your Queen Ann cabin. I am no longer cruising constrained by Social Security though seeing this terrible accommodation I know not to consider Queen Ann. Really a terrible decision by the Project Team and Cunard. The larger more expensive cabin is also terrible. Vastly worse than my cabins on any ship. What a shame I imagine many people are disappointed.
Excellent Video Bill. Yes, the Fjords is a must go to vacation. Thanks.
As Always top notch review, I have read that cruise ships will be banned from fjords after 2025, is this correct.?
Hi, great review, thanks. Did you do the Briksdale visit via Cunard or a 3rd party? Thanks.
Great video Bill – love your style
Great review Bill. That cabin is small but still bigger than the inside cabins on QE2
Great, entertaining vlog. I must say that your photography is stunning…wow!!
Hi First timer here to your you tube channel m we have just watched this video on your trip on the Queen Anne , We must say , we love your style of editing and commentary over the videos and the al round friendliness and spot on facts , We are on the Queen Anne next July 4th , But after seeing this video we want to explore more of the fjord itineraries , We have just been on the Apex to scandinavia , Sweden , Denmark and Norway but not so much on the fjords , keep up the great work , we love it 😊😊
After the Alaska voyage on Queen Elizabeth, this trip looks like a perfect follow-up.
I think there would be more uproar if Cunard launched another Art Deco ocean liner’ish ship so this newer theme makes sense. Maybe the 250th ship they launch will be a real ocean liner that will eventually take the place of QM2? As always, you and your family make YouTube watching a joy.
Another great video thank you. Just got off her today and thoroughly enjoyed it and echo your experience and thoughts. We did chuckle about your swinging a cat comment. Looking forward to your Virgin Voyages cruise. Please keep up the amazing work.
One last thing – please remind your dear wife to wear her camera strap around her neck when (whilst) taking photos near the railing of the ship…
Always amazed at the brilliance of these videos…all you want to know and fantastically detailed with exceptionally professional presentation. When we first started watching we were amazed it was not a mainstream media documentary due to the slick and efficient editing and sound quality.
Such a pleasure to watch and so fascinating, the detail very informative and nicely paced with good side comments and reviews.
As an fyi, partly as a result of the quality of your reviews, my partner now works for Cunard professionally.
Simply excellent video once again, thanks.
Fantastic video, as always. I really love your channel. Just the right amount of depth and variety. Great job!
Once again Bill a perfect production, beautifully presented, witty with an informative honest opinion. Bravo!👏🏻
