5 Queen Anne Insider Secrets & Hidden Gems Every Cruiser Should Know
Because the Queen Anne introduces a completely reimagined layout and brand-new venues never before seen in the Cunard fleet, even veteran Cunarders can miss out on some of her best features.
If you want to dodge the crowds, score the best entertainment, and find the quietest spots on board, here is the ultimate insider guide to navigating Cunard’s newest queen.
1. Book the "Bright Lights Society" on Day One
The Bright Lights Society is arguably the most successful new addition to the ship, offering intimate, high-energy, and immersive cabaret-style performances. Because the venue is designed with low, cozy booth seating and a vintage, neon-lit aesthetic, capacity is strictly limited.
The Hack: While entry to these brilliant shows is entirely included in your cruise fare, you must have a reservation. Do not wait until later in the week. Connect to the ship's free My Voyage app the minute you step on board and secure slots for all available performances before they book out completely.
2. Ditch the Main Buffet for the Pavilion Wellness Café
The main buffet, Artisans’ Foodhall, can get incredibly busy during peak breakfast and lunch hours on sea days. If you want a peaceful morning without fighting for a table, head straight over to the pool area.
The Pavilion Wellness Café sits right under the spectacular retractable glass roof of The Pavilion. It serves delicious, lighter breakfast and lunch options—like fresh fruit smoothies, acai bowls, and protein-packed grains—completely free of charge. It remains one of the quietest, most relaxing spots on the ship to grab a bite.
3. Spot the Morphing Art in the Grand Lobby
Don't just walk past the three-deck-height centerpiece mural in the Grand Lobby. This massive architectural artwork is actually an intricate digital display designed to change perspective based on where you are standing.
If you view it from Deck 1, it presents one visual aspect; walk up the spiral staircases to Deck 2 or Deck 3, and the lighting, shadows, and image details morph into an entirely different scene. It is a brilliant blend of modern technology and classic ocean-liner style.
4. Find the Ultimate Sea Views (and Free Sports) on Deck 14 Forward
Many guests spend their outdoor time at the aft Panorama Pool Club or midship pool, which can fill up fast on warm itineraries. For a massive open space with completely uninhibited, panoramic views over the bow of the ship, make your way up to Deck 14 Forward.
In addition to housing the quiet Sky Bar and Observation Deck, this top-deck oasis features several complimentary deck games that passengers often don't discover until late in the cruise:
-
A full-sized paddle tennis court
-
A golf putting green and driving range nets
-
Traditional deck quoits and shuffleboard tracks
5. Note the Deck 3 Promenade Twist
For fitness enthusiasts who look forward to the iconic Cunard wrap-around promenade walk, Queen Anne comes with a slight design twist. Unlike the completely open, wide timber decks of the Queen Mary 2, Queen Anne’s Deck 3 Promenade features lifeboats that partially obstruct the direct view of the horizon along the sides.
It is still an exceptional, continuous walking track for getting your steps in while feeling the sea breeze, but if you want completely unbroken, dramatic views of the ocean while you walk or lounge, head up to the upper deck tracks or the aft wake views instead.
