I stepped off the QM2 about 12 hours ago after having crossed the Atlantic and our crossing was apparently one of the smoothest ever. How different it could have been.
Still sounds like a amazing trip but one day sun! Thats tough laying out on the decks in the cold lol Thats why i love cruises in Australia were we can get lots off sun.
I am weighing sailing on her to Southampton for our 2012 summer vacation, just about ready to go for it! She is magnificent! We sail on Oasis in 30 days and this ship can live up to the grandeur of the former, and that is saying a LOT!
I've made three North Atlantic crossings in her, in 2004, 2005, and 2016. By the last one, things had changed. Mostly young Eastern European hotel crews, and "Hamilton Bermuda" was on her stern, instead of "Southampton." That Cunard magic was gone as well.
I stood on the Golden Gate Bridge as she passed under. The deck was close enough to the bridge that you could jump off the bridge and safely land on the queen. Not very many pedestrian bridges in the world that allow such a close view while stamding directly over such a large ship.
Excellent, detailed documentary. Pity Britain, the most storied of all maritime nations, can no longer build such magnificence. At least there is Rolls-Royce - still the daddy of maritime gear.
The captain of the passenger ship bear huge responsibility as lots of passengers mostly not aware of potential hazard onboard... especially fire hazard....safe voyage to all seafarers....ship is my home...sea is my playground...
thats right , is good you mention that fact there , theres a hundred and one things resting on the person carrying the can in any big transport operation .
Matt: absolutely not. As much as it may be a beautiful piece of engineering, it is the most unnecessary polluting luxury entertainment item one can think of!
Matt . Matt, you are just confirming that this is absolutely unnecessary! The fact that you get fooled by the glamour of cruising is one thing and it is your very prerogative. Denying how unnecessary this is as well as the environmental burden of cruising is ignorance.
I would agree that the Captain of such a vessel has an enormous responsibility on his shoulders, but he also has the support of dozens of Officers and Seamen. Judges (in the UK at least) have a workload that would surprise you, they don't just sit in judgement of criminal trials. Politicians are just cunts.
lol @ 'horn'. You think the ships funnels are an acoustic device? That's fucking brilliant. You Johnny Foreigners never cease to amuse with your ignorance that borders on retardation.
There is a pilot boat in each port which comes alongside the ship when he is finished, it will also deliver him to the ship when it is arriving into a port. He will call the boat on the radio and then an Officer escorts him down to a hatch in the side where he climbs down a ladder to embark the boat to take him back to shore.
We were lucky to sail QM2 from the proper NYC piers in Mid-Town for two trips-one Transat and one Caribbean cruise. Sailing down the Hudson past Manhattan and out to sea is the classic NYC sailing.
I always considered it interesting that a P&O Captain was named Commodore of the Cunard Fleet. Bypassing the Cunard captains who had worked for years to be in line for the promotion. Then there is Alistair Greer who was a P&O employee for years. To shed light on why some of you may have heard Cunard feels "very P&O" is because Princess/P&O runs, manages & designs for Cunard. QE/QV were designed by P&O Lead Designer Therese Anderson & didthe recent QM2 refit. Cunard is a shell of its former self
BTW, Titanic was also an American owned ship. Britain's White Star Line was owned by the IMM-an American company that owned several shipping lines. It later reverted to British ownership before merging w/Cunard in the 1930s,
Oh I want to sail on her so badly. It is a tossup between QM2 to Southampton or a 10 day Greek Isles on Royal Caribbean for 2012. Sailing on Oasis this year though which is also very exciting!
That's the whole point the QM2 is an ocean liner, she's like the Titanic, Olympic, Britannic, Aquitania, Lusitania, Maretania, the first RMS Queen Mary, the first RMS Queen Elizabeth, RMS Queen Elizabeth II, SS Normandie, SS France, SS United States…etc. Queen Mary 2 is NOT a cruise ship like the Oasis of the seas, Carnival Dream, Disney Dream, Norwegian Jewel…etc.
If it wasn't for the Lusitania sinking USA might of never joined the war! Its unfortunate SS United States is falling into disrepair destined for the scrap yard.
@hurro67 It's also British designed, operated and managed. P&O handles a great deal of Cunard's operations while Princess Cruises handles much of the onboard operations and design og both Icky Vicky and the QE. Lead designer Therse Anderson, who gave us the Love Boat, also designed the last refit for QM2 and her upcoming refit at the end of the year. She may have strong UK owenrship ties..but she is a Carnival Cruise Lines vessel. NO desire to even look or travel on these Carnival ships
@Lufthansa631: On a 7 night crossing (they've slowed the crossing time down due to fuel prices since this show was shot) there are 4 formal nights where most men where a tuxedo. The first and last night is "elegant casual" (jackets but no ties required) since everyone's still busy packing or unpacking. There's one Semi-formal night where a dark suit is appropriate.
Nobody would yell that on today's ships. A radar would detect it and the bow thrusters would be turned on making the ship shift to the side much faster. Before the rudder and shaft propellers were the new. Now the QM2's mermaid pods eliminate the need of a propeller, she has a stronger engine and bow thrusters (propellers on the side of the front of the ship) to make her move faster.
On night of the September 10th-11th 1995 the QM2 was slammed by a 95 foot high wave, followed by two smaller waves. The captain, Captain Warwick, reported winds to 130 miles per hour with average wave heights of 40 feet. The 95 foot wave hit as most passengers were asleep in their beds at 4:10am. The captain said, "At 04:10am the rogue wave was sighted right ahead, looming out of the darkness from 220°, it looked as though the ship was heading straight for the white cliffs of Dover. The wave seemed to take ages to arrive but it was probably less than a minute before it broke with tremendous force over the bow. An incredible shudder went through the ship, followed a few minutes later by two smaller shudders. There seemed to be two waves in succession as the ship fell into the 'hole' behind the first one. The second wave was of 28-29 meters, whilst breaking, it crashed over the foredeck, carrying away the forward whistle mast.
Thats why you read your contract before taking the job. There are some great contracts , my wife used to be part of the deck crew and was making around 3,800(clear) a month + full benefits. Ontop of that she got free use of amenities ect ( provided a paying customer wasnt using) , she says it was one of the best jobs she ever had. So the pay isnt fantastic but its better than equivilent kind of jobs on land.
6:29 How can those passengers be allowed to smoke on board in what looks to me to be an enclosed passenger area? In the few cruise ships I have sailed on, the rule has always been that smoking is STRICTLY outdoors in a designated non-smoking area only
They're at the bar. A lot of cruises allow smoking at the bar. Some even have cigar rooms where you can smoke those. Smoking is often allowed at the casino as well. It depends on your cruise.
Dont think a bowtruster had make any differens for TT. Because when a ship make way into the water in high speed the bowthrusters doesent have any force. Turbulens from the waterstreaming in high speed make them useless, thats why QE 2 have doors in the tunnels and close them in the sea. Maybe a radar had gained them but like so often in history it wasent invented at that time. 1 st ship who had it.. Hard to know, some kind of workboat and ferrys where early to aply it.
Oh I’m booked to sail from New York to Southampton on the Queen Mary 2 in December 2021. I will be spending 4 days in New York, my first visit to the USA then the voyage of a lifetime. 7 days on this magnificent liner. My life is blessed. Not my first sailing, I have cruised around the arctic circle in November storms and I’m very excited to be traveling on this beauty.
@lasuvidaboy actually titanic was ONLY funded by an american she was a british owned ship and as for Cunard the line is still british but is shared between Carnival UK and Carnival USA Plc making it an Anglo - American company
@hurro67 It's Commodore and Captains came from Cunard's managers P&O/Princess Cruises It's company is British in name, managed and operated out of Miami Florida It's funds are Miami controlled It's maiden voyage was from Britan, and an unmitigated disaster. It's headquarters RECENTLY was made in the UK, largely in name only. Beforehand Cunard was headquartred in Los Angeles sharing operations and staff with Princess Cruises. Before that, Cunard was based in Miami.
I heard jobs on cruising shit are rubbish: 1) If youre doing "dirty job" youre not allowed on the deck between passengers it means for months you're prisoner under deck ,no chance to enjoy travel 2) There is no "minimum wages" on ships thats why there are so many guys from Third World working for peanuts,so money is poor ( apart from officers etc.) 3) They can grab you to work at any moment-"day off" for waiter means you dont work dinner time but you still have to work breakfast and supper
@TheTraveltube The entire Olympic Class were financed by an American who OWNED the company. Titanic was American owned and financed, while only registered in the UK.
Can't argue with Charlieiscool1000 titanic was a British owned ship run by the British I.e. White star line and built in ireland The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line of Boston Packets, more commonly known as the White Star Line, was a prominent British shipping company, today most famous for its ill-fated vessel, the RMS titanic someone needs to get his facts in order and I don't know google the white star line.
I hate people who say this is an American ship. Its captain is British. Its Company is British. Its funds are from Britain. Its maiden voyage was from Britain. and its headquarters is in Britain. AND its called the QUEEN MARY 2
@lasuvidaboy There is a difference between being based and being owned. Cunard is 100% owned by Carnival Corp-USA based in Miami, Florida, USA. Carnival Corp also owns 100% of Holland America which is an even more 'seperate' division than Cunard. Cunard was in fact run by California based Princess Cruises for a short period after QM2 was built. Today Cunard is run out of Carnival's UK offices BUT Cunard line is still 100% American owned and the Miami offices makes ALL the final decisions
oasis of the seas is a cruise ship not an ocean liner as qm2 is an ocean liner there is a difference, plus oasis is no longer the largest passenger ship as that went to harmony of the seas and recently was topped again by symphony of the seas
@transonicbuoy1 I perfectly agree. We have strived in our quest to become economically viable, to such an extreme that we have become little more than an island with a magnificent cruise line. Once, we were synonymous for our navy. Now, we are renowned for our tea.
@hurro67 Everything you said was correct, except that Queen Mary 2 is owned by an American Corporation. Carnival Corporation bought Cunard, then they paid to build the Queen Mary 2.
@TITANICLUSITANIA No Carnival Co bought around 20% of it. The vast majority of it is owned by a Britain. Look it up on Wikipedia or the Cunard website. The was founded by Britain too. ITS A BRITISH SHIP. And was funded mostly by Britain.
Mr. Sir a cruise ship cannot cross the Atlantic Ocean. An ocean liner like the RMS Titanic and the RMS Queen Mary 2 as seen on this video are designed to cross the Atlantic even on stormy weather. A cruise ship would likely topple over and sink. Also, an ocean liners are faster and more powerful.
I was on the QM2 a couple of years ago. Ocean liners have a totally different atmosphere to cruise ships, an atmosphere of elegance and classiness and an era of time gone by that you don't find on a cruise ship.
There are plenty of cruise ships that cross the Atlantic. But an Ocean liner is faster and more sea worthy, like ships were built before transcontinental air travel. Most cruise ships today are just built to carry as many paying passengers as possible, and they go around the worst weather which is possible today thanks to satellites.
Yeah sure, those life boats are not safe from rougue waves, rogue waves can get to 30 meters high or more. I dont think that the life boats are that high up.
Really? I heard that horn once, in '67 when she arrived in LA harbor. My mom came to America on the 1st Queen Mary, we had to see the ship arrive, & we were on a hill in Palos Verdes with what seemed like every Brit living in Southern California. When they sounded the horn pretty emotional moment for those British folks.
Seeing all that electronic sh*t one wonders how on Earth the old sea Captains ran the huge Ocean Liners back in the day when it was all done by HAND, arriving in record time and without a single accident.
+Graziela Almeida More like stabilize the ship to save your meal from coming back out the way it came. The ship itself is fine without the stabilizers. Motion sick passengers may need stabilization from Gravol anti-nausea pills.
To be fair, this kind of thing is very useful to test the systems and drills, in the event of a real need. No harm done and the systems do need periodic testing.
I am disappointed to learn Cunard is a traded name only, a brand. Cunard's oeprations in the US are overseen by Princess Cruises. In the UK it is overseen by P&O Cruises. P&O/Princess has one design department and they also design Cunard's look (look at any Princess main lobby..it is all Cunard). Too bad...but everyone being owned by Carnival says whatever they touch will be cheapened.
Very big differnce in comercial vessel u cannot control or minimize the swell its the wheather its self will adjust not the ship..the anti healing will show alarm if she cannot manage just like in auto pilot mode in rough seas captain advise to put in manual steering...as a sailor even do ur ship in a modern science u cannot predict the things it will be happen..the captain is the full reponsible in any action he make...salute those in service of commercial vessel..to keep the global economy afloat
Do they really have formal night for the first night? If so, that is true class. Every night was formal night in the days of Titanic, Lusitania, Mauritania, and several other hstoric ocean liners of the past.

WHats the difference between an ocean liner and a cruise ship?
Mr. Sir a cruise ship cannot cross the Atlantic Ocean. An ocean liner like the RMS Titanic and the RMS Queen Mary 2 as seen on this video are designed to cross the Atlantic even on stormy weather. A cruise ship would likely topple over and sink. Also, an ocean liners are faster and more powerful.
I was on the QM2 a couple of years ago. Ocean liners have a totally different atmosphere to cruise ships, an atmosphere of elegance and classiness and an era of time gone by that you don't find on a cruise ship.
There are plenty of cruise ships that cross the Atlantic. But an Ocean liner is faster and more sea worthy, like ships were built before transcontinental air travel. Most cruise ships today are just built to carry as many paying passengers as possible, and they go around the worst weather which is possible today thanks to satellites.
Mr. Sir - a liner pollutes more because way more rapid!

Seaman never say good bye
Yeah sure, those life boats are not safe from rougue waves, rogue waves can get to 30 meters high or more. I dont think that the life boats are that high up.
the RMS queen mary 2 has got the RMS queen Mary's horn
Really? I heard that horn once, in '67 when she arrived in LA harbor. My mom came to America on the 1st Queen Mary, we had to see the ship arrive, & we were on a hill in Palos Verdes with what seemed like every Brit living in Southern California. When they sounded the horn pretty emotional moment for those British folks.
@TheMissingTooth What doe you mean, the ship has passed under the bridge many times.
Cunard is tendency to roll and vibrations
This ship is quick
Thank god the title said "2"
Gud ship Queen Mary 2 Queen Elizabeth yearly pier 10
Seeing all that electronic sh*t one wonders how on Earth the old sea Captains
ran the huge Ocean Liners back in the day when it was all done by HAND,
arriving in record time and without a single accident.
+GooglFascists They still use paper charts to be sure
Yeah no accidents for Titanic...
stabilizing the ship to save the show? they have to stabilize the ship to save lives
+Graziela Almeida More like stabilize the ship to save your meal from coming back out the way it came. The ship itself is fine without the stabilizers. Motion sick passengers may need stabilization from Gravol anti-nausea pills.
Little seas like that, nah not on the QM2.
To be fair, this kind of thing is very useful to test the systems and drills, in the event of a real need. No harm done and the systems do need periodic testing.
I am disappointed to learn Cunard is a traded name only, a brand. Cunard's oeprations in the US are overseen by Princess Cruises. In the UK it is overseen by P&O Cruises. P&O/Princess has one design department and they also design Cunard's look (look at any Princess main lobby..it is all Cunard). Too bad...but everyone being owned by Carnival says whatever they touch will be cheapened.
Yep!
American ownership 😭
Titanic was unsinkable ..Dont challenge the nature
Very big differnce in comercial vessel u cannot control or minimize the swell its the wheather its self will adjust not the ship..the anti healing will show alarm if she cannot manage just like in auto pilot mode in rough seas captain advise to put in manual steering...as a sailor even do ur ship in a modern science u cannot predict the things it will be happen..the captain is the full reponsible in any action he make...salute those in service of commercial vessel..to keep the global economy afloat
Do they really have formal night for the first night? If so, that is true class. Every night was formal night in the days of Titanic, Lusitania, Mauritania, and several other hstoric ocean liners of the past.
