Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm going to be spending the next what about nine months living out on cruise ships
I think there's just a little bit too much at the moment that's outstanding where you can quite clearly see that some of the rooms have been refurbished some of them haven't really been done to the full standard
this will be stunning it will be so romantic it will be so beautiful when the ship is finished

In this video, I've flown out to Dubai and will be spending two nights on the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), which has turned from a luxury cruise ship operated by the Cunard line into a floating hotel. The ship was purchased in 2017 by the Investment arm of the Dubai government and, in 2018, began her final voyage from Southampton (England) to Dubai (UAE). The ship was launched back in 1967 in my home city of Glasgow - at the Clydebank shipyards specifically (about a 25 minute drive from the house I grew up in!). It's been great to see so many 'nods' to Scotland throughout the ship, and pictures of the Queen in Glasgow for the launch of the vessel. It's really clear that they're trying to renovate this hotel sympathetically, rather than injected hugely vast amounts of cash and completely changing the look and feel of the ship, which is appreciated. However, there are some parts onboard that could do with a little more investment at a greater pace. I've wanted to stay in this hotel since it opened, and so this trip is quite a special one for me. In this video, I'll answer two main questions: 1) What does the QE2 look like now that she's a floating hotel? 2) Is a stay on this world-famous ship worth the money, or should you give it a little more time to be upgraded further? If you're new to my channel, hello! I'm Fraser, and I'm going to be spending the rest of 2023 living 'at sea', mostly on cruise ships. I started this channel to show that the world of solo travel is amazing, and there's so much to see.
