Steve Marsh did more for QM2 than Cunard's Own Marketing... Here's Why... The Expert Cruise Show
<p>A cruise line just got out-marketed by ONE YouTuber...<strong> </strong>Let's face it: corporate cruise ads feel totally disconnected from reality. Today we're dissecting cruise line marketing missteps and looking at how <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCBhQuxcHU3aydk_zTXcbdTg"> @steve-marsh </a>'s QM2 footage achieved what the cruise line's own marketing department couldn't. By simply showing the true, unvarnished reality of ocean liner life, independent creators are rewriting the rules of travel promotion.We also tackle the big question for 2026: With changing crowds, shifting expectations, and rising costs, is cruising still a good vacation choice?—📚 Buy my books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books/👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/🛳️ My Maritime History Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/—Disclaimer: ‘The Expert Cruise Show’ is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
