You should see the room 5059 on Queen Anne. It is a BB categorie. But as the room is turned 90° you a window and a balcony door. The balcony is very long, but yes, not as width as the one you shown. We loved the room. But now back in inside rooms, as I like the dark in the morning 🤭

Just found your channel and watched your Queen Anne video on the two outside cabins. We were booked in the smaller of the two however after seeing your video we have changed to the larger with the separate shower room We are on for 33 days so thought we would benefit from the extra space and at a total cost of £200 for the upgrade for 33 days we thought it worth the difference. Many thanks for the video

We only want to take QM2 B2B Transatlantic now and again. So we wouldn't be on QA. TV position wouldn't bother us. It's only for safety demo, captain's updates, and I think in QA's case viewing account on, but I'd just do that on my phone. We sleep in the bed. Otherwise we use cabin for showering, dressing and preparing to go out around the ship. That's even with a glass balcony because my wife likes full windows and natural light coming in to put on makeup for evening. If we wanted to watch TV we'd stay at home.
