Creator's Key Takeaways

this was one of my favorite cruises and i'm definitely looking to cruise with cunard again

afternoon tea was absolutely amazing and possibly my highlight of this entire cruise

the thing that really shocked me though was just how enforced the dress codes were on most cruises

the real difference between a formal night and an informal night with a q r cruise is that men have to wear bow ties on a formal night

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a jacket or shrug for the main dining room as it is very cold.
Pack formal wear even if traveling light, as Cunard has strict dress codes.
Try the included afternoon tea for a unique experience.

YouTube Video Description

A couple of years ago I took a cruise with the most formal mainstream cruise line on the market, Cunard cruise line. Before this, I'd only cruised with Norwegian Cruise Line who have no dress codes, and MSC who have very relaxed dress codes. As you can imagine, it was something of a culture shock. In this video, I talk about how I really grew to love this type of cruising despite it not being something I'd considered before. Would you take a cruise with Cunard?
