After 14 great years in Woking, we finally moved today to the sea in West Sussex. A lovely spot, just one downside - we are actually slightly further from Southampton! With all these boxes, there may be a little delay to my next video, but I will do it as soon as I can.

Looking at these images from Liverpool's Three Queens celebration in 2015, one thing strikes me...

How do you top this?

Cunard says the 2028 Four Queens Celebration will build on the 2015 event. What would you most like to see?

✈️ Red Arrows?

🎆 Fireworks?

🚢 A Mersey river procession?

👑 Something else?

👖 Quick Cunard question...Are smart, dark jeans acceptable in the main dining room on a Smart Attire evening?

🎥 My latest video: https://youtu.be/m_rR4YwjPno

I'd genuinely love to hear your view and experience.

In the video I explore jeans, polo shirts, trainers, theatre visits, and some of Cunard's other dress code grey areas.

What's the biggest dress code grey area you've encountered on Cunard?

QM2 is changing — and this new Deck 13 cutaway may be the most dramatic alteration of all.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/t7wvtlDZvII

In my latest video I break down all the newly revealed 2027 refit changes in my latest video, including the new suite, removed spaces, and loss of the Grills Concierge Lounge, and what these changes could mean for the future character of the ship.

Exciting evolution… or a step too far?

I’ve put together a new Northern Lights cruise video sharing 10 of the biggest lessons I learned along the way, from choosing the right itinerary to managing expectations and improving your chances of seeing the aurora.

Before doing a Northern Lights cruise, I thought the main question was simply: will we see them?

But after experiencing one for myself — through storms, changing weather, long dark days and some unforgettable moments — I realised there was so much I would have liked to have known beforehand.

If a Northern Lights cruise is on your wish list, I hope this helps. ✨

We nearly didn’t see the Northern Lights on this cruise.

Storms, a blizzard… and at one point I’d completely given up.

If you’re curious how it all played out, the full journey is now on the channel.

The Atlantic feels different on the way home.

This return crossing from New York to Southampton is told entirely through Captain Hashmi’s daily briefings — six days at sea, weather decisions, and the quiet rhythm that settles in once land disappears astern.

If you enjoy slow travel, this one is best watched when you have time to let it unfold.

I’ve just published my most detailed ship tour to date — a full walk-through of Queen Mary 2, filmed on a recent transatlantic crossing.

It’s also my first Community post, so consider this a quiet hello 👋

The tour is long and unhurried, with live deck plans throughout to show exactly where we are on board as we move through the ship. It’s designed to be dipped into, or simply left running, rather than rushed.

If you’ve sailed on QM2, which space epitomises her for you — or which do you miss the most when you’re not on board?
