I spent five nights on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth cruise ship.
The British cruise line, owned by Carnival, charges around $856 for a Standard Inside Stateroom.

I was one of 1,248 vaccinated guests on board Cunard's first cruise to leave the UK since the pandemic.

Launched in 2010, the Queen Elizabeth is Cunard's newest luxury ship. At 964.5 feet long and with 12 decks, the ship is certainly large.

I booked a Standard Inside Stateroom for £628, or around $856, which was described on Cunard's website as having a king-sized bed, a TV, and tea and coffee making facilities.

Upon arrival at my room on Deck 6, I was surprised by how luxurious it was.

There was a complimentary bottle of champagne and flowers waiting for me from Cunard's press team.

A bottle of wine was in the mini-fridge, which was a gift from Cunard to all guests on embarkation day.

My TV was already switched on when I arrived and was playing a safety instruction video.

There were two sets of drawers on each side of the bed, left open for me when I arrived.

As a tea lover, I was excited that the room had a kettle, tea bags, and milk.

My room had a full-length mirror, another mirror next to the TV, and another in the bathroom.

There were plenty of references to royalty, including the shower gel, shampoo, and hand gel from Royal Warrant holder Quercus.

When I researched Hildon, the brand of water delivered to my room, I discovered that it also had a Royal Warrant.

The pillows had Cunard's logo on them, which was chosen for its links to royalty.
