On QM2 there is a division between glass fronted and 'sheltered' balconies. We have booked the sheltered balcony for several QM2 autumn and winter crossings. The wind over deck could be 'force 11' but the sheltered balcony provides an oasis of outdoor calm.

This is a very useful video. There is another reason to book a cabin with a balcony regardless of the weather. My wife gets quite seasick and being able to sit someplace and watch the water helps immensely, so we even do book in cold weather.

I am a Britannia boy. I have travelled in QG once, but that was on a short Hamburg trip and shared with a friend. On other things, I couldn't afford anything above regular Britannia. Always a balcony though. Even in bad weather, I still like fresh air, and even mid-Atlantic in December or January, there are still very nice sea days.

On the Ocean crossing in May I brought a Down Jacket to sit outside... especially in evenings! Oh I adore the balcony access.
Great info here

Fascinating and educational video. Until now, I never understood how the cabins fit into the whole. Thank you for this great information.

[coreys-grwh]

Thank you so much! This is, by far, the best video on YouTube to clearly explain the cabin differences. My Wife & I are in the process of choosing a Cunard Cruise and I'm sure we will be going back to your video over and over again before a final cabin choice is made! :)

[Robert-ypzs]

An excellent summary well presented. Thank you. It certainly cuts through the hyperbole of the Cunard web site. Now one can make an informed choice.

[raypayne]

Brilliant, that's fully explained it to us, we're thinking booking our 1st cruise for next year. Thanks

[familyfrost]

Just to thank you Ritzy, I have now booked 3 cunard cruises, Norway on QM2, Northern Europe on QA and Transatlantic QM2. Really sound advice in all your videos which saves me making mistakes and misassumptions. I really do wish you good fortune

Had a balcony on an October crossing. Made sure we chose portside - going west - and it was really quite pleasant as was in the sun, and the wind was quite strong and off the starboard bow - so starboard balconies must have been quite unpleasant by comparison

[joanfreestone]

This was a very well explained description of the cabin choices. Thank you. So many people think that Cunard ships are more segregated and "class-conscious" which, of course, isn't true.

[CA-rdgp]

This iz helpful. Thank you so much ;-)

This was exactly what I had hoped to find! I have never had a desire to “cruise” and having learned the difference between cruising and an ocean crossing, the next step was to determine how to choose a cabin, why each cabin costs what it does and if it influences the rest of the trip. Thank you for making it so easy to understand.

Now, the next step is to find if the cruise line helps connect single individuals with someone who might want to share the experience. I don’t want to go alone; it seems like something that should be shared. I told a married friend: I’m not looking for a relationship. I simply want a positive experience and being alone I fear, will feel lonely!

I was wondering about the QM2.

Thank you for producing this video.

[gerardmackay]

One reason we are booking an inside cabin for our cruise to Norway in late June is to ensure darkness when we sleep. I know the curtains on outside cabins are decent but you still get light filtering through and at that time of year daylight is 20 hours in Oslo and 24 north of Trondheim

One of the things you missed out about the Brittania Club Balcony rooms is that you get and increased on board spend, also the menu is different from the Brittania restaurant as there's more courses (5) and more choices at each course. It's a much more peaceful restaurant, especially for breakfast and lunch. Balconies are also slightly bigger.

[mtedwards]

This is a great, informative video. You've answered my questions 👍🏽

[jeremiahreilly]

Truly helpful and the best comparison of Cunard cabins on YouTube. Thank you!

[andrewhalket]

Club prices are more variable than all the others - moves around a lot with demand. Only a relatively small grouping on QM2, They've made BC much bigger on QA as it's quite profitable for them.

Cabin sizes are quite easy to judge on QM2 - for the typical Britannia(or BC)/ PG and QG. They are the same depth, but Britannia is 1 unit wide, PG 1.5 units wide, and QG 2 units wide

[Packyboy]

excellent work. Very much appreciated thank you.
