Creator's Key Takeaways

so it's 10 past 10 and it's December the 10th and we're just about to set off in the car to Southampton because it's Cruise day and we're off on Queen Mary 2.

so we've arrived in the Mayflower terminal and we were given it's pie mince pie Baldwin mulled wine first of the day first of the day and what we've got going on around us we've got the brass band playing in the background yeah very nice it really did set the tone and put us in a Christmasy mood for our Christmas markets Cruise.

so far is what a difference a year makes countless stress-free embarkation yeah it was really good very easy very well organized yeah um and you know to activate to have the Christmasy elements as well which we didn't have last year at all.

so Cunard this is absolutely lousy.

YouTube Video Description

This Video shows our embarkation day on Cunard QM2 Christmas cruise December 2022. Come and see what happened and what was special about this cruise. Embarkation is now back to pre pandemic times. Ken goes Cruising is a channel dedicated to sharing our experience of cruising. We have enjoyed 44 cruises since 1995. As well as sharing some factual and helpful information the idea behind this channel is to share our joy of cruising. My long suffering wife Lindsey is a very important part of our team. Since our retirement we had planned several bucket list cruises and so far we have only completed one of them. We have now started international cruising again and hope you will join us on our travels.
