I Cruised on the Most Formal Cruise Line’s Brand New Ship

Description from YouTube

I’m currently on a cruise with the most traditional cruise line there is, they’re known for their strict dress codes, formal nights, ballroom dancing and afternoon tea. On paper this really isn’t a cruise that suits me but when Cunard announced that they were launching a brand new cruise ship, the first in over a decade, I wondered if that might change things. Cunard promised that their new ship Queen Anne would be a ‘game changer’ and that it would blend traditional heritage with innovation. Many of the reviews from past Cunard cruisers said that the ship was ‘disappointing’ and ‘a let down’. There were so many reviews saying that it wasn’t really like Cunard at all.

I wanted a way to try to ship as cheaply as possible so when I saw a little 4 night cruise pop up I decided that would be my chance. The cruise went over to Bruge and Cherbourg and I booked the cheapest cabin on the ship, just as a way to get onboard. We embarked in Southampton and embarkation was very easy. Our suitcases were taken and we’d see them again on the ship after having checked in. As soon as I stepped onboard the ship I could already tell that she was so different from the other Cunard ships. The colours, the carpets, the stairways, everything felt so modern and it’s a design I personally really like. I was getting very excited at this point, the ship certainly looked like a ship that I’d enjoy but I did hope that it wouldn’t be style over substance. The ship took 7 years to design and build and there was a lot riding on her launch. Cunard have organised the ship around staircases A B and C which all have different colours, the carpet colours match where you are and the arrows always point towards the closest staircase. I thought that was a nice feature, anything that can help me find my way around is appreciated as I do often get lost on ships. There are also quite a few extra staircases around the ship too which reduces how busy the main stairs are. I love a spiral staircase and there were no shortage of those. Heading away from the stairs and along deck 1 I found my cabin and it was here that we found our cruise cards. These are what you use on a cruise to charge everything to and its what you use to get on and off the ship so they are very important. I’ve stayed in inside cabins plenty of times before but there was something about this one that I really liked, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but it just felt luxurious, as luxurious as a box without any windows can be anyway. I loved the blue and the gold and the detail around this mirror. ▶ FREE COURSE.
