YouTube Video Description

I just spent two weeks aboard the QUEEN MARY 2 with Cunard Cruise Lines. I will be honest, I never though I'd cruise with Cunard. Aren't they....stuffy? Boring? A little too formal? Today, I share my initial impressions of Cunard & the Queen Mary 2, commenting on food, the dress code, formal nights, entertainment, the 'vibe' aboard, and more. Plus: a tip for YOU in regards to choosing to cruise the Queen Mary 2. I cruised QM2 (with family) on a Transatlantic crossing, followed by a week cruising Norway.
