This was the era of the great ships from not just England, but other countries. I'd watch them dock and depart and I knew them all by their horn sounds. Thanks for reviving that memory!

Addressing some of the faqs and general statements in the comment section: Starting with the obvious; This is an OCEAN LINER, not a cruise ship and this video depicts a CROSSING, not a cruise. “hahaha titanic” - I cannot begin to describe how disrespectful that is to those who lost their life in the disaster it’s not funny or original. “It looks boring” - You clearly haven’t been on the ship then. If you had, then you’d know it’s not, there is a theatre with shows and lectures, a planetarium, a cinema, a library, 3 pools (2 outdoor, 1 indoor), a pub and a casino - for those who want such a thing. “The passengers look old” - And your point is? It’s perfectly fine. There were plenty of younger passengers if it’s that important to your crossing. “How much is it to go on this ship?” - prices range; www.seat61.com/queen-mary-2-transatlantic.htm#Transatlantic%20fares “How long is the crossing?” The crossing takes 7 days/one week. “Are there private toilets?” There are private toilets in every cabin as far as I’m aware. “Why does it take 7 days instead of 5 like it used to or 2 or 3 like the older ships?” The crossing has been extended for more economical fuel management and also (probably) to increase the sales of alcohol and other such items that cost money. If there’s anything else feel free to let me know.

Sure, it's nice to have some "creature comforts" such as a few nice restaurants/bistros/bars/lounges, and the usual array of gyms, libraries, theatres, pools, etc. Other than that, what I want on board is PEACE and QUIET. Places where I can watch the world float by while I read a book without hordes of annoying strangers invading my space. I know I could stay in my cabin but that's not the point. I most definitely do NOT want to be stuck in the middle of some combo of Disneyland and the MGM Grand for days or weeks on end the moment I leave my own quarters.Anyone who needs that constant and artificial stimulation to keep from being "bored" has, IMO, big problems. Finally, what the ship looks like on the outside I guess is mostly irrelevant because you can't see that when you're on it.

I first took this trip in November 1982, on the Queen Elizabeth 2. There was a special Boat Train from London Waterloo that went nonstop directly to the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal. It used the tracks you can briefly see in the foreground. We walked from the train directly onto the ship, and the tagged luggage we put into the baggage van at London Waterloo was taken directly to our room. In 2005 we took the Queen Mary 2 eastbound, and noted that the tracks at the Southampton terminal were no longer used. Too bad.

I have not been on this ship but I have been on The Independence Of The Seas twice, same cabin 1530 each time, and had the best holidays I have ever had in my life. The food was fantastic and entertainment was great. Both of these cruises were 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 and I have hundreds of pictures and hours of video of the places where I visited when the ship docked at each port. It's such a shame now with Covid that more people cannot enjoy a fantastic relaxing holiday seeing different ports of the world. Let's pray that this time next year we can all get back to normal.

The Queen Mary 2, it is the best, and greatest, and most dignified, of current times. She is a worthy heir to all the great ocean liners in history. And possibly the last. Cruise ships are circuses and brothels. Here in the QM2 there are still values and seriousness. Thanks.

We took the queen Mary from Southampton to New York when we retired from military service. We were in our 60s and were the youngest people on board. I did a comedy act and would ask who is in their 60s who’s in their 70s was in their 80s? It was amazing how many people in their 80s were traveling on the ship. Had a great time had a storm followed us the whole way to the US.

@@kevinduffy80 False of habit, I was always told off (nicely) by my late Dad who was an officer in the merchant navy for many years. Whenever, as a boy, I said " Dad when can we sail on the ship you work on?" I was told: "the Viking Voyager is not a ship but a ferry" An Ocean liner is the above I guess ;) Sailing on her would be a fitting tribute to a great man - my Dad.

The ship’s whistle is not tested at 12 noon each day, it’s sounded along with the ship’s bell in the Grand Lobby to announce that the ship’s captain is going to inform the passengers of the ship’s position that day and anything of interest. I travelled on the QM2 a few years back in December, probably not the best time of year to cross the North Atlantic, but on leaving NY we sailed into a Force 11 storm, one category below a hurricane and you would have not known it, the QM2 is the only ship (liner) afloat that’s built for the North Atlantic and that can handle this type of weather.
