Creator's Key Takeaways

It's definitely been more evolution than revolution, and I'm not convinced that the guescued much younger.

This is probably the first and last time I'll ever say this, but this show would have been better if it was just her.

John Martin is a cruise ship comedian. Now, this is not the same as an actual comedian.

I will definitely see every show I can in here on future trips.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the comedian John Martin if you want to enjoy your evening.
Check out the Bright Light Society for high-energy cabaret shows.
If you love QM2, don't expect a planetarium on Queen Anne.

YouTube Video Description

Queen Anne arrived with a lot to prove. Early sailings were… not kind. Mostly judged by loyal Cunard guests, not quite the 'New Cunard' crowd she was meant to tempt over. Was this a bold new direction for Cunard — or just the same ship in slightly trendier shoes? In this video I work through every major entertainment offering onboard Queen Anne — theatre shows, headline acts, daytime talks, ballroom traditions, cabaret chaos and Cunard’s attempt at being a bit less… Cunard. Some things feel genuinely refreshed. Some things feel comfortingly old-school. Some things feel like they wandered in from a tired social club and refused to leave. From the main theatre to the Queen’s Room, from retro-futuristic spectacle to eyebrow-wagging cabaret, and from polite applause to “why am I still here?” moments — this is a full, honest breakdown of what Queen Anne is actually serving up once the sun goes down. No spoilers. No hype. No cabin tours. Just a proper look at whether Queen Anne’s entertainment is evolution… or just Cunard doing Cunard in a slightly shinier jacket.
