101 Things To Do on a Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing: Part 3

Cunard truly believes its heritage is one of its utmost important assets. It has been a voyage of dreams for nearly two centuries. A travel tradition. Today’s installation of the 101 Things To Do on a Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing covers one of my favorites!  Here are just a few of the on-board activities that may spark that nostalgia.

Thoroughly British Moments

25.  Don’t miss Afternoon Tea in the Queen’s Room, complete with scones, fresh cream, strawberry jam and white gloved servers.
26.  Toast your good fortune to be here over a pint or two at the Golden Lion Pub.
27.  Get a deck quoits lesson from that nice English couple you met at breakfast.
28.  Savour fork tender roast beef at The Carvery – a true English specialty.
29.  Watch actors from RADA perform scenes from your favorite Shakespeare plays.
30.  Play a round of golf at the one that started it all, St. Andrews, on the golf simulator.
31.  What does it feel like to be royalty? Dress to the nines for the sophisticated Ascot Ball and experience for yourself!

The departure from what we experience in our lives every day makes this section so great. Who does not love fresh hot scones? If nothing else, the cruise experience is like a step back in time with the modern conveniences of today.

What is your favorite part so far? 

Next, we will present Fine Dining and Divine Wining.
