Before I embark on one of my bucket list cruises, it’s time for my pre-cruise vlog! Tomorrow I’m embarking Cunard Queen Mary 2 for a transatlantic voyage to New York - I’m still pinching myself! So today, how do I pack for a cruise / voyage known for formalities as well as knowing I’ll be flying back with weight restrictions (my luggage, not me!)? It’s then full speed ahead as I make my way to Southampton, U.K., check in to my hotel, show you around, then head out to do some ship spotting, drinks and dinner at Ocean Village before an evening of entertainment, shots and dancing on Oxford Street! Enjoy and see you soon for my transatlantic! Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe and turn on notifications for bi-weekly cruise and travel vlogs plus my Monday night lives!
