Creator's Key Takeaways

We managed to put everything away, but I think we would struggle for longer than seven days, wouldn't we?

I wish we had a bigger cabin and a balcony and a window, but we wouldn't be coming if we didn't have this.

It's a compact room. It is quite well designed. We managed to put everything away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep the bathroom door closed to avoid setting off sensitive fire alarms during showers.
Stay in Winchester instead of Southampton to avoid extortionate hotel prices.

Welcome aboard Cunard's Queen Anne, it’s Embarkation Day as we begin a 7-night Norway Fjords cruise from Southampton on Cunard's newest cruise ship. Before booking, we couldn't ignore the mixed reviews. With many people giving Queen Anne average ratings, we wanted to find out for ourselves if the criticism was justified. Was booking this cruise a mistake, or is Queen Anne much better than the reviews suggest? Don’t forget to visit us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/flydriveexplore This is our very first time sailing on Queen Anne, and throughout this cruise series, we'll share our honest experiences as we sail to the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords.
