Richard just returned from his very first Cunard cruise ever.

It was on the Queen Mary 2 from Brooklyn up to the Canada, New England area for seven nights,

and he joins us on the line to talk all about it.

Hello again.

Hello again.

Yeah, a lot to unpack here.

I've never actually have taken a physical sailing on this ship. I've been on all of them, but just for like day visits and stuff. So I'm excited to hear your take on what you think of the queens out there. So before we always do, we'll take a step back here and give me some pre-cruced thoughts. Like what made you, you normally cruise, you know, you're a big NCL

cruiser, you cruise carnival. I think you have an MSC cruise coming up. What made you want to do

this week-long cruise on Kuhnard Line? Mainly because it was so different. And also,

it was sort of a rarity. They mostly do transatlantic cruises, especially with the Queen

Mary, too.

This was a very rare. Apparently, they do this once a year, the same week every year, leaving out of Brooklyn.

And instead of like a two-week transatlantic or whatever, they leave out of Brooklyn and they go to Boston and Halifax, and they overnight in each.

So the fact that, you know, one of the things I really like to do is whenever a new ship comes to the New York area, since that's my port, I like to give it a try.

So really, the opportunity to try a ship for the first time, and especially something so different.

So when you think about it, the Queen Mary 2 is the last remaining ocean liner.
