Is Cunard Really That Formal? Cunard has a reputation for being formal, traditional, and elegant… and if we’re honest, we weren’t sure whether we’d actually fit in. So in Part 1 of our Cunard Queen Anne cruise series, we’re sharing what it was really like sailing Cunard for the first time and whether those concerns were justified. We start right from the beginning with embarkation day, before taking you onboard to experience: 🎄 Queen Anne beautifully decorated for Christmas 🍽️ Food and drink across the ship 💆‍♂️ The spa facilities and relaxation spaces 🇧🇪 A festive day trip to Bruges for Christmas lights and markets If you’ve ever wondered what Cunard is actually like — especially if you don’t see yourself as the “typical” Cunard guest — this one’s for you. 👉 Let us know in the comments: would you sail Cunard Queen Anne? This cruise was fully paid for ourselves and therefore the cruise line has zero influence on any of our reviews. #CunardQueenAnne #CunardCruise #FirstTimeCruise #CruiseVlog #christmascruise 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - Pre Cruise Hotel - Voco Southampton 0:53 - Ocean Terminal (Boarding) 2:27 - First things first... 3:46 - What NOT to pack in your luggage! 5:15 - First Impressions 6:53 - Drink Package Tip! 9:22 - Is Cunard Too Formal For Us? 13:25 - Aranya experience and review 19:23 - The Next Day 20:58 - Spa Quick Overview and a BIG TIP! 22:48 - Wellness Cafe 23:38 - Outer Deck Exploration 24:57 - Lobby Bar Coffee Tip 25:48 - Bruges Christmas Market Exploration 33:42 - The Britannia Restaurant (Main Dining Room) Review 34:48 - Cabin Entertainment Overview
