Editorial Summary

The creator explores the Queen Anne, a new ship from the traditional cruise line Cunard, to see if its modern design appeals to a non-traditional passenger. Embarking from Southampton for a four night cruise to Bruges and Cherbourg, the creator stays in an inside cabin and evaluates the ship's blend of heritage and innovation. The review covers various aspects of the onboard experience, including the modern interior design, the food court style buffet, and the traditional safety drills. The creator also examines specific amenities such as the pool areas, the pub, and the grand atrium. While noting some discrepancies like the smaller promenade deck and the organized chaos of the buffet, the creator concludes that the ship successfully targets a younger, more modern audience. Ultimately, the experience is described as a successful attempt by Cunard to modernize while maintaining its British identity, making the ship more accessible to people who might not typically choose a traditional cruise line.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently on a cruise with the most traditional cruise line there is.

Cunard promised that their new ship Queen Anne, would be a gamecher, and that it would blend traditional heritage with innovation.

I did find this piece of art on board that doesn't look very impressed and maybe she was thinking about the prominard deck.

Queen Anne is targeted to a younger, more modern audience than the Kunard ships have been traditionally, but I think that that's good.
