Our Most DISAPPOINTING Cruise EVER?
We've been waiting to take this cruise for over 5 years, but it really didn't live up to our expectations. This is our BRUTAL review.

The Cunard Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic crossing is a right of passage when it comes to cruising, celebrating the tradition of what cruising was like, sailing on the world's only ocean liner. But it wasn't at all we expected with poor food and lacklustre service. It wasn't the worst cruise we have taken but it certainly may be the most disappointing.

Clarkson NOT Clarkston. Come on guys, you can do better 😊
We need to Breakaway from the bad pronunciations
stop apologizing !!! the food in the photos looks horrible. your job is to be honest so we don't waste our money . . .and Thank you; you two are awesome.
I love you two! Pivot, Pivot...yummy, McYummyville!
Im gonna give it a year! I think they will gather all this feedback and improve the port! So lets give it time.
How lucky you were to get to see the Kelly Clarkson Show and Merrily We Roll Along, which won the Tony as did Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe! Nice choices, fellows. I do believe the New York segment was my favorite part of the video. Kind of sad to see what the Queen Mary has become. It really holds no interest to me now. But I’m going to New York in September to do a cruise and plan on going in three days early and hopefully repeating some of your adventures. Thank you for another great video.
The food looked awful, my old school dinners looked better.
Why do you think it’s gone so far down since Covid? What are the cruise company’s doing?
Oh no, and now Daniel Radcliffe has gone and won a Tony for this role. But I trust your assessment. Celebrities often go to Broadway and snap up Tony's from lesser known's who have give better performances. People such as Sky Lakota-Lynch.
Weird hair style ben . Terrible tattoo !
❤
"Mummy" is fab 😂
The flies all over the food is GRIM. Come on Disney, it's not like this is your first rodeo!
Which would you more likely go back to, fantasy or dream? I’m struggling to choose!
I’ve not been on a cruise, but I’m very curious to know if the cruise is not full, would they not do like a hotel would and either upgrade your suite or move you to another one?
We spent 130 days on the Cunard's Queen Elizabeth last year. We always wore a jacket and usually wore a jacket and tie most nights, and black tie on gala nights. The dressing up on Cumard is as you make it.
would it have been better to have a cabin upgrade, would the service have been the same, would the food been the same. lov your vids
That pizza looked manky.🤮
Merrily We Roll Along is on at the theatre next to "our" hotel, the AKA Times Square. We always stay there in NYC love it and seeing the street it's in makes me want to go there NOW!!
Sorry you were disappointed in your cruise but welcome to New York! 🍏
I am going to japan. Almost went on a cruise. Land tour, maybe next time check out a ship from china to japan or something.
I can't figure it all out, but most things have gone downhill since the pandemic. Add this to the list. And unfortunately, some of the things that have gone downhill are most important, such as medical care.
OMG. Ben’s full name is the most British thing ever and I freaking love it.
Yay! I've been waiting eagerly for this episode and when I saw the Disney cruise last week I thought you'd forgotten about me ;) I googled the voyage and was shocked at the cost for what, in reality, is a fancy, slow, expensive ferry to New York. Now I know your experience I'd rather take a flight to NY then cruise for a week from the states. Thank you :)
Well, that was a dissent into madness. How strange because this video started out beautifully. The ship looks incredible, the service you had was wonderful, the food looks delicious. What a shame.
Lol at Daniel Radcliffe can't act to save his life
As a fellow lover and appreciator of food, I have so much sympathy pain for you in retrospect over that meal. It just looked absolutely horrible. Like tales of overcooked bland days gone by. Hope the rest of the voyage was better and thank you again for taking us with you.
Virtually all that food looks really pale and poor quality! Madness!
Your day in NYC sounded like so much fun!
Crocs with socks…..a song in the making!!😂
Thank you for always giving us your honest opinions - it does help one decide on where to spend our precious pay and holiday adventures
That was the most English looking pizza of all time.
To answer your first question, Yes! 9 AM for breakfast closing is insanely early when you are on holiday. Considering what passengers are paying to be on the ship, there should be some leeway around food service. And what a challenge to do a review for this ship because it seems almost 50-50 split between things that are outstanding like the customer service the food decor the organization for outdoor space versus the unfortunate side effect of cost cutting. Thanks for bringing this to us to get an insider look and happy birthdaybelatedly
Daniel Radcliffe can’t act? NEWSFLASH he just won the Tony Award for Merrily We Roll Along!
Women and Children first is wild, Children with their parents should be first regardless of gender. And who is sick on the ship?? Uhhhhh
Other than the surroundings, I could obviously recognise the QM2 but everything else didnt ring true to me. I am not one of the crusties that often cruise on Cunard, and I am definitely not a person who would choose to cruise (I took my mum from Southampton to NYC to the Caribbean and then return Dec 2022) but I am disappointed for your experience. They have certainly relaxed the dress code over the years as gents were expected to wear suits/jackets with ties etc to dinner but now that has been relaxed depending on the night eg formal nights. Although I am not one to dress up as a rule, I do like to wear a suit to dinner at somewhere appropriate. Although a Britannia passenger, I found the food in the past to be as good as most old school fine dining restaurants. The consummes were high class and often a test of the chef's attention to detail. Sometimes I would have a little gripe like a bombe alaska where the meringue was a touch gritty where the sugar hadn't been mixed in fully, but also know that in a mass kitchen it is often done that way to hold its form when made in advance. I will say that the service that I had was some of the best, and their attention to detail was first rate. Our table staff were exemplary and having dined in some of the finest restaurants around the world, Rani would have fitted in perfectly in any other them, and Peter who had less experience wasnt far behind. Same with Nancy who was our room steward, she was perfection and a wonderful lady. The staff always said that all of the staff with Cunard wanted to be on the QM2 and many had been with the ship since launch or close to it. I wonder if they pulled a lot of the staff off the Mary and put them on the Anne as I expect that they would want their best staff there given the hype of a new ship and the staff might want to be on a newer ship as well. Some of the best memories of that trip for me was the staff and I am disappointed that you didnt have the same experience as I did. They were always very professional, but as you got to know them, their personalities shone through. They also got to know your foibles and knew what you wanted or if you didnt know what you wanted like seeing the same menus again on a 27 day cruise, would suggest off menu items that they could have made for you. I really enjoyed their friendship which was sincere. I do hope that your experience was not a sign of things to come and that their standards will be returned to their usual service. I have to agree with you about the rooms and tvs. They do need revamping and brought up to a more modern setting with powerpoints and charging points near the beds, I found that very frustrating myself. I expect that many of their cruisers havent needed them, but as other people fit their demographic they will need them. As a person who has done two cruises as an adult (one when I was 5 so that doesnt count), for me it was 2 too many. Having said that, I have watched you two review other cruises and love your style and honesty. I just wish you saw the ship as I did, and not as you experienced, and that seems to be the thrust of a lot of your feedback.
That “odd tasting” egg dish at the beginning of the video is not a frittata. Its Shakshouka.
I love your videos and was so disappointed that your cruise was "meh"! You were generous in your ratings. I used to think it would be awesome to take an ocean liner across the Atlantic, but I'm cured. Give me a Carribean cruise for half the money and twice the fun.
Happy anniversary guys! Love ya! ❤❤❤
Your mum is so precious. Just the sweetest personality and warmest calming voice. She's always so playful and speaks so lovingly to you. Just love her. Your very blessed to have a mom that shows you such love ❤️ Blessings to you all on your wonderful memorie making vacation together 🥰
I’ve never watched your videos before, but you’ve just gained a new subscriber. I’ve watched many videos on Lookout Cay and yours is by far the most informative and complete. Thanks for a great overview.
Huge congrats on exchanging your house contracts. Wishing you many happy years in your new home. My son got a special deal on the Queen Elizabeth....Queens grill suites at one tenth of normal price, and that included family. It was 2 nights from Melbourne to Sydney. We thought we'd died and gone to heaven. You guys really did get a raw deal on your cruise, our food was amazing, and people dressed up to the nines for dinner. I hope you get to experience those suites one day BUT...your food really looked abysmal at times. That brioche in New York was far better than food you received on board. I'd say they are putting most of the food budget at the pointy end. We had real lobster...twice!!!! And they did flambes at our table. We're usually Princess inside no frills cruisers so what we had was amazeballs.
HaPpy Anniversary to you both! And congratulations on selling your home. Woohoo!🎉
By the food you showed on the video, I thought you were on Margaritaville 😂
Another steller review!. A hot cabin on any cruise sucks. But IMO inexcusable on a Cunard Ship. I wonder if Carnival corp ships age poorly?
Congratulations on your win boyz. Xx
Don’t apologize for your honesty. If you weren’t and we went on this cruise I for one would be bloomin unhappy.
Aww I really want to go on QM2 but it's not cheap and it doesn't sound like it's worth the money at the moment :(
Ugh, sorry about the food, everything you showed did look less than appetizing and very "cheap".
Kelly Clarkson - no "t" , processed (sliced) cheese. Happy anniversary,
😂😂😂 I love this. We’re going to New York next week as part of a cruise and we’re seeing a taping of The View!
