Creator's Key Takeaways

I am finally ticking off one of my bucket list experiences is a transatlantic Voyage on board Cunard Queen Mary 2 from Southampton all the way to New York

I've been given an arrival time of 1:30 p.m. hoping it's not too busy in the terminal

I'm going to do a full cabin Stateroom tour and review later but first impressions are few for a standard inside cabin I think it's a good space

I purchased the essential Wi-Fi package which worked brilliantly for the duration of my Voyage as a member of the gold loyalty tier SK scheme I also received a discount

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online using Cunard's website before arrival to save time
Don't worry if you forget to print luggage labels; there should be a table to help
You can access the My Voyage web page without purchasing Wi-Fi
Try the complimentary 1-hour Wi-Fi package before buying
Book thermal suite passes in advance for better value
