A cruise expert has revealed what it’s really like to stay on the world’s cheapest cruise.
For just £99, Jenni Fielding – who calls herself ‘Cruise Mummy’ on social media – bagged a luxurious stay that won’t break the bank.
She spent her holiday about Cunard’s new Queen Anne ship – and shared her experiences in a YouTube video.
Jenni wrote alongside the clip: ‘When I spotted a luxurious cruise on Cunard’s brand new Queen Anne for just £99, I couldn’t believe it.
‘A luxury cruise, five-star service… for the price of a cheap hotel room? I had to give it a go!
‘But would this bargain sailing feel like a dream come true – or would I feel completely out of place among Cunard’s famously posh traditions?
‘Join me as I explore the ship, experience the service, and find out whether this £99 cruise was worth every penny – or a budget blunder.’
She takes the journey from Hamburg to Southampton and shares the inside of her journey.

Jenni adds in the video: ‘If you can book yourself a £99 cruise, you get two nights, all of your food, all of your entertainment… it’s cheaper than one night in a Premier Inn!’
After an hour and a half spent in the check-in queue, Jenni made it on board. She starts with a stop at the buffet and a quick room tour.
‘I love it, it’s so nice,’ she says. ‘It’s an inside cabin, which means no balcony, no windows, but that’s alright.’
She shows the large TV and bed as well as the desk area and all the brochures and info she’s been given.
‘If you want to get fresh flowers in your room, you can,’ she explains, before taking us around the rest of the cabin.
Jenni says: ‘It is actually pretty spacious.’ There’s free sparkling wine which everybody gets, as well as a kettle and biscuits.
She adds that the minibar – which looks ‘tempting’ – is not as overpriced as she expected. And the spacious wardrobes and ‘lovely’ stocked up bathroom are great additions.
She walks around the ship, highlighting all the areas of the vessel – from a mini putting green to the glamorous pool area and dining room, it’s certainly got all the bells and whistles of a luxury holiday.

Her main meal, however, was on the small side. A nut roast, she says, ‘was the smallest main course I’ve ever seen. It was nice, tasty, but it came with half a roast potato, a teaspoon of mashed potato – I’m not exaggerating – and then half a plate of cabbage.’
She says the buffet closes between 9pm to 11pm, so she had to wait to eat again even though she was hungry.
She watched a comedian in the evening and ordered room service too, having breakfast in bed – before enjoying the cruise gym.
She concludes: ‘Is Cunard for me? Unfortunately no, I love the lunches but for dinner for a week personally I would struggle. If you’re a meat and two veg person, you’ll love it.
‘This ship is beautiful, stunning. But the main takeaway is just having a little short cruise, a cheap getaway, is lovely. It’s so worth it – especially if you’re the sort of person who’s go, go, go all the time and you just want to chill out for a couple of days.’
