Cunard’s Queen Anne Cabin Tour
I recently disembarked a wonderful two day mini cruise onboard Cunard’s Queen Anne and I’ve been so excited to write about it.
We stayed in cabin 7174 and paid £150 each for both nights (we travelled as a couple). For us, the cabin was perfect - it was always quiet with no noise from other guests or entertainment venues. We also hardly felt the ship moving at all, and the lack of sunlight meant I had a fantastic sleep every night.
The cabin itself felt cosy and well laid out. A TV to the left of the double bed could swivel out from the wall for easy viewing, and a pretty paper cut artwork hung on the wall to the right.
Opposite the bed was a small vanity area, which also held the tea station complete with a kettle and biscuits (this is a British cruise line after all!) I was very impressed that we were also provided with a bottle of sparkling wine.
Down the hallway towards the door is a large wardrobe with numerous cupboards and shelves. One of these also has a small safe large enough for any money or documentation, but not big enough to hold a laptop, which is worth remembering. I was particularly pleased with the bathroom, which felt spacious for a cruise ship and had a large, modern shower. No sticky shower curtains in sight!
As with other modern cruise ships, the air conditioning was brilliant and our TV was equipped with a wide range of movies. It even had live television channels thanks to the line’s recent installation of SpaceX’s Starlink.
While we only met our cabin steward a few times, they were very friendly and efficient, even providing an evening turn down service where they left a chocolate on both of our pillows. It’s small touches like that which set Cunard apart from other cruise lines.
If you’re not sure whether to book an inside cabin, I do really recommend them. They can be such a brilliant way to cruise on a budget, and I’ve found that it doesn’t take away from the overall cruise experience. It really depends what you want out of your cabin - some people might find that having a balcony is an essential part of their cruise holiday, while others, like me, are happy to spend lots of time relaxing in other venues around the ship. As we were only onboard for two days, we were perfectly happy to sail inside and would definitely do it again - especially considering the price!
When booking, make sure you bear in mind that gratuities are not included in the fare, and a fee of $16 will be added to your cruise account each day of the voyage. This money goes to the crew and is very much deserved, but worth remembering when budgeting for your holiday.
