Visite de ma cabine sur le Queen Victoria (Cunard) !

Hello my friends. You're used to seeing me in various types of vehicles. This time it's a ship. So welcome to my cabin in this ship. So I'll show you the door a little bit. So here's where the story begins. So the story begins here and then if we turn around here we have the cabin. We're on a ship, a ship of a legendary company. This is Canard, and the ship we're on is called the Queen Victory. So I'll show you a little bit. So this is the bed with a kind of plastic thing there that goes on it. I think they do that on all their ships. It allows people to put their suitcase down to open it because given the space, it's still very large. But given the space, there may not be enough space to put something where you put your suitcases. So here I have a small desk to work on to write. I've placed my computer here and there the desk is as I found it. I got the cabin five minutes ago. So I'll show you. There's a telephone with the option to call. So the first button is for emergency and so on. And then I have lots of services. There's even a spa. I can also ask them to wake me up. I have sockets here, as you can see. And we have a mix of American, European and British sockets. I only have one British one, so I might use an American adapter. I hope. I got it, I brought it back. So if we look here, we have a sort of TV that is explaining. So tonight, from six o' clock onwards, they want us to be dressed a little smart, as they say. That means from six o' clock onwards no more T shirts, shorts, all that on this company. The dress code is quite formal, let's say. Ah, but that's nice. It's part of, let's say, the tradition of. The tradition of travel. Here in this corner I have a sofa, as you can see, I have a sofa. I also have an armchair here and a table. I think I'll also use it to work a little bit. I have another screen, as you can see, I have another screen and then underneath I have a coffee corner. Okay, so I don't drink coffee, but I'm going to make myself a herbal tea later. Look here I can see these cups. I don't know if you can see it. I can see these cups and there's the logo of the canard on them. I sent a photo to a friend earlier and he told me that it reminded him of the James Cameron film the Film Titanic, where there's an arm like this. There's an articulated arm that you can see in the image that goes like this to pick up dishes and then show them. Next to it I have a box with tea, coffee, all that. It's not really my thing. I'll take a look later. I discovered. Before I started filming, I discovered the fridge. There's a small fridge here. I'll show you there's a small fridge. So what's in it? Well, there's a bottle. Okay. I think it's a Grand Imperial Brute. It's a bottle of champagne. So on cruises you always have to be careful. I have no idea if he was offered it or not. So you always have to be careful because a lot of things are expensive and if you're not careful, you can end up with huge bills at the end of the trip. So here I have a map, a map that shows a little bit of what I can have in the room. I'm filming it slowly, on purpose. If you want, you can stop it and see. You can stop the video play, pause it and look at the prices a little bit. If you're interested, I'll show you a lot of things like that. I'll show you the inside, but I'll share some photos with you. Okay? Don't worry about it. I'll share some photos with you. So let's continue the tour of the room. So we're going to go to this corner. So in this corner we have a place to store and put our things. I also have a sort of wardrobe with a cupboard here there are two things for the bathroom. There's also on the floor. I saw there was this. Wait, I'll try to film this for you. There you go. That looks pretty nice. Nothing wrong. But hey, I can't see myself crossing the. I can't see myself crossing the boat with it. I can't see myself crossing the boat with it. Especially here, huh? I think it's not really suitable. If the dress code requires a shirt and all that. I'm not going to. I'm not going to risk crossing the entire boat from one side to the other with it. With a dressing gown. There you go. So I'll show you the bathroom. I'll show you the bathroom. So it's quite interesting. It has a black bathtub, as you can see. There's a black bathtub, see? So if I find that there's not enough water, I can fill it up. I can fill it up. I can fill the bathtub, right? So there's a little shelf here to store things and everything. Green shelves. It's super clean. Here's another one. Another outlet, but this time a razor outlet. It looks like an American outlet. Uh, it's well ventilated here and I can feel the air. I'm going to get out of here. You'll hear it. You see. So what else do we have here? We have some gel, soap stuff. This is conditioner, and this is shampoo. It seems like I like this brand. Honestly, they're not the ones sponsoring the canarde. But if you want, it corresponds to this trip that I'm taking here. Well, I have some towels here. There. I'm touching it. I was touching it there.

That's.

Yeah, that's pretty. That's pretty cool.

That's, that's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's.

I'll show you the brand just in case you're interested. 100% quote. Okay. So I have two life jackets here. There you go. I have two life jackets in this closet. I'm going to take them out in a moment to see if they're in good condition and everything. I take these things seriously, but I think they're also taken seriously here. So I have no doubt about the quality of these life jackets. In fact, it matches. I'll show you outside, then I'll go back in and I'll show you why I want to go on this trip. There's a reason. So I'm going to try to open this window. Well, I just had to push. So here I have a little balcony. This is the boat you can see here. We're in the port of Southampton. We're in the south of England. I'm on the eighth floor, so. Eighth floor, that puts me. I just discovered it puts me at the same level as the cabin there. The cockpit. You see this? Good cockpit. I'm sorry if that's not the right nautical term. Right. So there you see this protrusion that. It has a sort of balcony there that widens on each side. I think it allows them to see a little bit where they're going when they leave. I know that's not the right word either, but there you have it. We have the sea there. And it's going to leave in, I think, two good hours. I think I'm going to take a little nap. In the meantime, if you look down, I'll give you a little idea of the height. We're very high up here. And there, for example, they're moving Luggage, because when you come in, you leave your luggage at the entrance. Before even checking in, we put a tag on it and then he takes it back to the room. There you go. So a lot of people on YouTube say, yeah, when I got to my room, my suitcase was there. That wasn't great, that wasn't the case for me. But hey, I hope to get it one day. Anyway. I put a tag on the outside and I put a tag on the inside as well. And here I am somewhere in the middle of the boat, 8th floor in the middle of the boat. So I think it's a good place to minimize seasickness. But it's not always possible to be in the middle of the boat. For example, I'll take another trip later and I'll be at the front of the boat. The reason is that to be in the middle of the boat, you often have to pay a supplement. And the supplement can be high, it can even double the price of the supplement sometimes just to be in the middle, all things being equal, all services being equal. But if you want a cabin that's not at the end or the front of the boat, you want to be in the middle. Sometimes you have to pay a lot. It could be €2,000 or €2,500 just for that. Well, here it's by chance that I find myself in the middle. I didn't pay extra to be here, but next time I travel, I'll have a cabin at the front and I'll accept it. So why am I traveling by boat? Well, I'm going to take a slower trip. Right now I'm only taking a two day trip to practice, to test it out. For example, when I was talking to you about the bathroom, I was talking about the power outlets and all that. It's a way for me to see a little bit, to test the trip, because I've already booked another much longer one. But before setting off on a long trip, I wanted to do a dry run, so to speak. So I wanted to do a dry run. It was to. It was to try to see what to take with you, what to go, what to take on board. Lots of things, lots of little details. And I think that at this point, at this point, I have the first 30 pages of a guide. If I wanted to write a guide, because I made lots of little mistakes. A simple example, for example, the Internet is paid. It's satellite Internet. It's expensive, it's paid. You have to pay for it in advance to get it cheaper. Well, last night I was Going to pay for it in advance, they told me, and it's too late. I have to buy it on the ship by paying the price. Well, the maximum price. Do you know what I mean? I didn't know that detail. I thought that I could buy Internet at a reduced price up until the day before or the day of departure. Well, no, you have to do it well in advance. There are a lot of things that you have to do well in advance. Because in the cruise world things move very slowly. It that's why I'm here. I want to go slowly where I'm going. I'm not going very far. I'm going to Germany. I can take a plane and be there in an hour and a half. I want to spend days. I don't want to spend an hour and a half. I want to take my time. I want to live, I want to feel things happen. I want to enjoy. There you go. And that's why I already have two other cruises scheduled on a boat in the coming days. Because I'm someone, as you know, who's a bit scared of life. I'm stressed. I sometimes go to the doctor. I've had several burnouts due to work in recent years. So I'm really someone who needs to calm down, to stop trying to relax. And what I'm going to do, I'll show you. One of the things I'm going to do is write. I'm going to put myself here on this couch and I have a book that I'm slowly finishing. And I can tell you that it will probably be finished here. I have a few pages to write. It will be finished. I have another one that I want to start and I think this could be a nice place. Well, I'll have a better view than this one. I'll have the sea, if you want. And I could sit here. I didn't show you the balcony very well. It's just a balcony of a certain size. There are two chairs. Well, there are two chairs and then some kind of small tables. Now this is a balcony that may not be for this season. Even though I'm going to go there. I'll try, but it's not really for this season. It's more something that we'll use, let's say, in the summer. That will have added value when this ship sails in the tropics or is sailing or whatever. But if it's to go in the winter to a freezing place and all, it might not really be a big plus. But hey, I'll see when I use it. I'll tell you. But in any case, I'm going to sit here and write or finish my book. The ship leaves, I said, in a few hours.
