Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent dozens of nights in here and never had a bad night or a bad meal.

It's a massive improvement and at last has elevated Queen Elizabeth into Holland America line territory.

It's effortlessly elegant, indisputably British, and the gold standard most other cruise lines are still trying to imitate.

When it comes to evening entertainment, Kunard doesn't just deliver. It absolutely nails it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a table at the steakhouse for a special occasion.
Try the wellness cafe for healthy options 24/7.
Attend afternoon tea for a classic Cunard experience.

YouTube Video Description

#cruiseship #cruising Our full guide to Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth after her latest 2025 refit! We spent 19 nights cruising around Japan and put her thoroughly to the test—accommodation, dining, entertainment, and all the sparkly new upgrades. Was she as good as we remembered from our family cruises over a decade ago? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: even better (with fluffier carpets and even fluffier robes). From dreamy beds and delicious food (hello, Wellness Café) to toe-tapping live music and glamorous ballroom dancing (viewed from a safe distance), this ship still knows how to impress. Of course, no ship is perfect—we share a few honest niggles at the end—so watch the full video and let us know what you think! #Cunard #QueenElizabeth #CruiseReview #LuxuryTravel #JapanCruise #ShipTour #CruiseLife #CunardQueen DO YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SHIP, CRUISE LINE OR VOYAGE?
