The couple of internal renderings shown to staff look good too.

Fantastic can’t wait to book.👍

Maiden will be very expensive but will still be very hard to book.

I can easily live with the name. Not so sure about the ship. To my eye, it looks like several lost pieces put together into something visually horrible. I'm sure it will be lovely on the inside, but I had hoped Cunard could've come up with something a little more classic....sigh. It is, what it is (and it ain't good!)

Is it just me or did the countdown feel somewhat cheap? Queen and was always a given but doesn’t have the same gravitas as Mary, Elizabeth, and Victoria.

 

Ultimately, the name is not going to matter so much if the interiors are beautiful. From what they showed us there is a lot to look forward to. However, I wish that they had shown us more of the interiors, particularly the cabin accommodations.

Dont think we are even going to try due to cost and Maiden voyages are nothing as exciting as they were in the past.

Let's hope the interiors are not as Dull as her name. 😕 

[johnnylikely]

Looks stunning! I wonder how expensive the maiden season will be... tough time to launch a cruise ship- just ask Virgin lol 

Can't wait!

Based on that video seemingly not. Very P&O!

[richard_london]

What do you reckon to the interiors?

 

I'm thinking the two views shown are the main lobby/atrium and Queens Room?

Any idea on what sort of cruises will be on the maiden season? And when they'll start?

A bit klunky looking.  Hard to avoid in a large ship, maybe.  And I'm not fond of the name!  - but we'll be eying fares and itineraries as soon as they go up.

The interiors look dramatically different from the look onboard the current three Queens.  Clearly a deliberate decision to move away from that look.  I'm worried it's not very distinctive.  If you didn't know they were views of the new Cunarder's interiors you would be had pressed to identify which ship they belonged to.  Could easily be a P&O ship.
