Creator's Key Takeaways

i must admit i too is apprehensive heading off again on the crossing that i've just done because after doing many sea day heavy cruises since cruising resumed i too was getting rather bored on sea days

cunard crossing has the most packed daily program of any line any ship and any itinerary i have ever been on

cunard in my view is weak in the theater offering overall they're pretty dated themes predated music predated staging

queen mary 2 is definitely much more stable than any other regular cruise ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack motion sickness medicine or patches
Book a midship cabin if worried about seasickness
Pack layers as it's going to be windy and often chilly out on the deck
