I rode the waves on QM2 in 2016 right after the remodel and I can be the witness that the ship handled very well as it was primarily designed to cross the pond in high seas.

That ship has some amazing stabilizers. You can tell by the horizon line it hardly moves in those rough seas.

Nothing to do with stabilisers it's punching head on to the swell if they turned sideways then it would rock n roll.

Very steady - the horizon hardly seems to move! Nice to hear the captain advising to take care when outside on decks so presumably people were able to watch mother nature's show from their steamer chairs out on the promenade deck.

I was on QM2 a few years back, and we had some rough seas as well. I'm not sure if they were as bad as this or not, but I dare say on board, we never felt them. We saw water tossing about, but never rocked a bit. She is, indeed, built to withstand these crossings. Thanks for the video!

I crossed on her 3 times , I was having fun with the girls serving tables in Commodores , during this type of weather .Some of the girl servers were feeling a bit ill, so I would remind the servers that , first we go up then we go down .They would ask me to please stop , saying that .

I was on a cruise in the Pacific coming from Cozumel to LA. We hit a storm and it was a big one. Most passengers stayed in their cabin. My poor wife was seasick and stayed in bed. When I ate in the dining room, I could see the ship rocking in the waves. I had to hold my plate to eat. Stuff was sliding. I had to use the handrails. We were in no danger, but it was an experience. A good thing was there was no one at the bar but me, so service was A1.

Wow, riding very nicely for those conditions. I have been in similar conditions in my 44’ sailboat. Oh yes, quite different. But the seas seem to be reasonably spaced. And the sky is filled with “wolf pack” cumulus clouds, which is good. Yeah, a VERY smooth ride for these conditions. Gales in the wide open ocean, barring contrary currents or undersea mounds, can be reasonably safe in a yacht, if not comfortable. And in the Queen Mary? Down right comfortable.

Had seas like that on the Holland America Westerdam between Ketchikan, Alaska and Victoria, BC, Canada. Most of the passengers were down in their cabins. I had thankfully been taking a seasickness pill every day throughout the cruise and did fine. Great experience!

Thr QE2 is bot a cruise ship. It is an ocean liner, built to handle rough seas with aplomb. The high bow, high sides, and bulkier hull all speak to a robust build.

Was that Captain Christopher Rynd's voice? He was the ship's captain in early 2008 on the maiden round-the -world voyage of Queen Victoria that I was on. Smooth sailing all the way except for very rough passage between Corsica and Sardinia on Rome to Barcelona leg. I heard that Captain Rynd transferred to the bridge of QM2 some time later.

The Cunard Line Commodore Christopher Rynd retired from Merchant Navy service in November 2018. Prior to his retirement, he was the Commodore of the Cunard Line fleet along with being the "master" of the Queen Mary 2. Although Christopher Rynd has retired from the Cunard Line and the Merchant Navy he retains the position of Commodore.

Agree, a force 9 touching 10 is easy sailing for a proper ocean going vessel. A true mid force 11 is getting interesting. But windspeed alone is misleading actually, it's the sea state, the waves that can make it dangerous.
