YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

In our final episode of our Cunard Transatlantic Cruise we have a disappointing senior officers party, it's our second Gala Night of the cruise, and we continue to show you what spending 7 days at sea is really like. We were told by lots of people when we booked this cruise, that we had booked it the wrong way round. They said that we should have cruised from Southampton to New York, not New York to Southampton.
