On our last transatlantic, my wife suffered seasickness for the first time. The Seabourn crew were terrific. When the waiter asked about her he brought a basket of crystallized ginger for her. That was the answer! Now we travel with a small bag of it on every cruise. Avoids all the chemicals. Thank you Seabourn and thank you Ben and David for these great vids.

We have ginger chews what we bring with us. Another suggestion is to snag a green apple from the buffet, and keep it in your cabin. First sign of queasiness, slice it up, and nibble on it slowly. It amazing how well this works without needing meds.

There is a great story from an American soldier that defines how much the Brits love their tea. On D day on the Normandy invasion, these 2 Americans and 2 Brits survived the assault to the shore. The water was full of blood since most soldiers did not make it. It was a miracle to be alive and on the shore. The next step was to climb the cliff. The Americans get ready when suddenly they see the 2 Brits sitting down on the shore building a fire. The Americans say "what the hell are you guys doing'? The Brits say "we're having a cup of tea" The Americans said there is not time for a cup of tea, lets go. The American said these British guys were the most fearless soldiers he ever saw and they wanted to celebrate their survival with a cup of tea.

I've done 2 transatlantic cruises, both were on Royal Caribbean ships entering the US for the first time. Went with my dad both times. I was in my late 30s, he was close to 70. Enjoyed the pace very much. I was one of the younger cruisers and it was fun taking older style dance classes and doing trivia. I loved the slower pace. My dad read a LOT. (He always read a LOT.) He's gone now. I wouldn't do this cruise now.

@lynettehodnicki5240 4 месяца назад

In the main dining room on formal night, I would have been irritated after 15 minutes and furious and left after 30 for the buffet or room service. With Cunard's reputation for service and food quality, it's a disgrace to see it sliding downhill. Other recent cruise vlogs have had similar experiences.

I did the Queen Mary Transatlantic Crossing New York to Southampton and absolutely loved it. I get terrible motion sickness and was surprised that I was unaffected totally on the transatlantic cruise perhaps going east is an easier crossing. Also, I went in the summer. I tell all my friends to do a transatlantic cruise on the Queen Mary because you can’t even feel the ship. I got in trouble one evening when I said, wouldn’t it be nice if we had a storm and then we could feel the ship moving the whole table looked at me like I was nuts. It would be neat to see an iceberg but we never did and no one else at my table was looking forward to seeing one. I especially liked the planetarium and the entertainment that we had was fantastic. I am looking forward to doing it again. Thank you for your. They are always so entertaining. You are the best.

I was on the Queen Mary a few years ago during the winter, and it did sail through the edge of a storm because we couldn’t sell any further south , ship handled it well but about a fourth of the people or more didn’t show up for breakfast.

We went nearly the same week as you had a phenomenal sunrise which you can't buy, I ate Sushi for the first time. I loved the library and at that time it was the best place to do email. Lots of small memories and watching you two is bringing back more. Thanks and hope you enjoy your week's away.

@willexart 4 месяца назад

I think removing the gratuity on the Cunard ships happens more often than you might realise but it’s not always because the service isn’t good. I went with a large group who regularly cruise and we all removed the gratuity so that we could tip those who are working for us rather than everyone on the ship. When we spoke to the stewardess and staff they said that they prefer this because they are getting rewarded when they do a good job.

@alexblaney6322 4 месяца назад

Yes this is my thoughts too , Cunard regulars especially those leaving from uk don’t like gratuity automatically added I have a group of friends who only cruise Cunard and always remove gratuities .

Really appreciate the elements you've added to this video (David and the Flame of France) as well as a brief mention of special speakers (Ben). As one watches you stroll about the ship, it's so interesting how the "atmosphere" of the ship is transmitted through the video - it seems so quiet and reserved, not much in the way of crowds (other than meals, of course). It's easy to appreciate the aura of a trans-Atlantic cruise. Of ALL the videos you've done, I must say this one could maybe persuade me to give a trans-Atlantic cruise a "look-see".

Regarding the comments on the baffling layout -- Gary of the Tips for Travelors channel has posted he has trouble finding his way around, and he's done a dozen crossings! As for the poor condition, I think Carnival (which owns Cunard) are letting this ship down. Do they think it's OK if everything they own comes down to the level of a budget Carnival ship? I was especially sad that the planetarium was down -- that was once a big point of pride for them. Queen Mary probably needs an extended dry dock, but that would take it out of service and cost them too much.

My guess is, they were concentrated on the mechanics -- which are obviously important -- but not the interior or amenities.

Honestly I think this is my type of cruise. Less crowds and noise.

It’s long been a dream of mine to do The Crossing, but alas, is not to be. Earlier this year and I did a crossing on Viking. It doesn’t have the panache of sailing on the QM, but it was pretty wonderful. With everything that’s included, it was also the better bargain.

"Afternoon Tea" is not the same as "High Tea". High Tea is a meal served at a high table, at the end of the work day, by the working class. Afternoon tea is what we know as an afternoon snack between lunch and dinner. The upper class took Afternoon Tea as a way to stave off hunger till dinner, which would commonly be held around 8 pm. Although, the upper class would keep earlier hours in the country sometimes and so would forgo the tea. Love your videos and love watching you two as you are cheerful and optimistic (two things we so desperately need in the world these days). 😀💐

Hotels and tea rooms (at least in Scotland) used to serve (and maybe some still do) High Teas in the late afternoon consisting of a cooked course followed by all the ingredients of afternoon tea: a pot of tea, bread, cakes, scones etc.

As a self-proclaimed anglophile, I wanted to thank you for explaining this distinction! It may be less important in today's society, but understanding the difference--especially on UK-based cruise lines--is as important as knowing you don't refer to these vessels as "boats"!

Thanks for the vid, it was just what I needed today. And, as usual, I feel like I've got an accurate sense of the ship and the experience, the good and the bad. Cunard was never really going to be for me but your coverage has helped clarify that. I'd love the afternoon tea and be bored the rest of the time. I can absolutely see the charm of the history though. Thank you both for always being so realistic and open in your videos. Also, anyone can see looking through the comments on your videos how beloved you are, and it's for good reason. I hope you're doing well wherever you are right now! x

When I worked for a catering company we would cater high teas so to answer the question of what happens to the crusts.... we eat them otherwise they get thrown out and my head chef wasn't a fan of food waste.

In boating we call that silky water “glass”. “We has glass all weekend long” “the water is all glass”

It looks like the food and service has improved significantly from 15 years ago when we did a crossing. I remember ordering steak and not being asked the temperature. My wife's was almost walking away whereas mine could have made it's shoes. The waiters were screaming at each other all the time and everywhere was fifthly, so that has been fixed. There seems to be a lot more places to get snacks and cakes from. It was always a challenge to get afternoon tea service, some days we would sit for the whole hour and not get served, so that is much better. All the mold has been cleaned from the pools, and you didn't stick to the carpet in the night club. Maybe Carnival has turned it around.
