  • song?

  • Love QM2 I have been on her 6 times already. Going again in october and next July

  • @BettyBoop385061 good for you

  • Jesus christ. I showed this to my mom's friend Ed, and the second that he saw the casino, he said, ''Don't tell your mom about this or she will REALLY want to go.'' xD

  • i'm sure its gonna sink but...

    WILL it BLEND?????

  • @Lizgonnie not funny 10 years old kid

  • @markasTM  ^_-

  • wow theres like nothing to do thats fun...

  • can't wait to go on there again this August for an Atlantic-Crossing :)

  • @theraptor123456

    I'm going on August cruse too, from 22 to 29 NYC to Southampton, what about you?

  • its amaizing&wonderfull

  • its amaizing.

  • Was on board in Nov, now look forward to Sep and Trans-Atlantic.

  • Great

  • I am trying to put together a European trip that will include a journey on the QM2 to New York in 2012. (That is, coming home after I tour Europe). I hope I can pull this off. This ship looks fabulous and the more I see of it, the more excited I am getting. It definitely looks like a "must do."

  • Queen Mary 2 is a proud ship, a wonderful ship. The most beautiful Ocean Liner in the world today. I love the Britannia Saloon & the Grand Lobby. I want to sail on Queen Mary 2 so bad.

  • Been on QM2 twice and I am not over 80!!

    I am a very young 46 and love her, and there is plenty of entertainment onboard, how naive some peope are :-/

    She is a beautiful LINER not a cruise ship!! And those that are disrespectful are only jealous and wish they could be so lucky as to get onboard!!

  • from 7:25 on... look at the passengers. Is this a nursing home facility? Every seems to be over 70. Seems boring. Everyone must go to bed at 8pm. I guess there is no nightlife on this ship. Let me keep searching for another cruise...

  • @greeneyedboriqua - How ignorant. I'm 41 years old and have sailed on her 5 times. She is a magnificent vessel and... hold your bowels - I stayed up until 3AM almost every night - G32 rocks! and so do night walks around the promenade and balcony parties too! Not all geriatric on here, buddy - keep searching - ocean liners probably aren't for you!

  • I would eat my own foot to get on this ship!

  • it looks like a floating nursing home (LOL)

  • @swimbythesea LOL... I noticed that too. Only old people as passengers.  That would bore me. I've been on about 10 cruises. Most of them RCCL. I prefer Royal Carribean.

  • @greeneyedboriqua

    RCL .... chav ships for chav passengers.

    Cunard's liners are for quality, classy passengers who don't DO fairgrounds at sea!!!

  • stunning...

  • Ha! This ship has got style. Forget all the el-cheapo cruise liners built for mass tourism.

    The QM2 plays in a different league :)

  • @SilverCircle71 This ship looks a little boring. I didn't see any nightlife or any other entertainment.

  • Como quisiera viajar en esta mole y hacer el recorrido Southampton, Cherbourg, New York.

  • Nice to see my relief sculpture on board QM2 still looking bright as the day I installed it in the lobby. I spent a year making this sheet bronze sculpture, it was 7 x 6.5m square and I had to relocate my studio to build the artwork.

    Went onto to make the relief sculpture of the QV, which had to be in a much lighter weight material on a marquetry background.

    Enjoyed the making of both ship sculptures, but as yet have not had the pleasure(?) of sailing on either ship.

    John McKenna sculptor

  • @johnturnberry

    nice one!

  • @johnturnberry - John - your artwork is as inspiring as it is incredible!

    We've admired it on both QM2 & QV - and I hope you do have the pleasure someday

    of enjoying a sailing on either - especially QM2!

  • thank for the video. am going on Monday (fly to NY and cruise back to Ston) and appreciated the look round. really, really looking forward to it.

    On another note (from previous posts), why are people who don't/won't do things such inverted snobs? is there anything wrong with a week's luxury if that's what you want? who are you to judge? we all spend our money in our own ways. so do what you want and leave everybody else to do what they want.

  • One day, me & Jenny will be walking on her deck. When that day comes, I will just die! lol

  • I had a chance to build it into st.nazaire and I like it

  • @murifad - you built a fine ship. She's quite a lady!

  • I don't like the windows in the casino

  • @2491cc - what rattles you about 'em?

  • Es precioso, y encima con una canción maravillosaaaaaaaaa......Genia­l.......!!!!!!!

  • Why are people who go on the Queen Mary such snobs ? Remember the Titanic ? They thought they were the best, the most modern and they had millions in old money. And they all died when the ship sank.

  • @AmericanEvita - I'm a working guy (I suck out septic tanks for a living) who - get ready - happens to love Queen Mary 2- a plain guy who makes a hard living sucking terds out of tanks!

    Remember the Titanic indeed - nearly 80% of those perished were second and THIRD CLASS - NOT First Class. Seriously, people need to think before posting ignorant things such as what you have. Eva Peron would not approve of your "Titanic" failure of an example. Shame on you.

  • why does every queen mary 2 video have this song? it reminds me of biggest loser and it kind of ruins the whole experience for me haha.....

  • @mrdipallins if you want to hear a song that is always associated with a cruise ship listen to Royal Clipper 'sailaway'.. they play Vangelis 'Conquest' and believe me, it sends shivers down your spine long after you've been there - I was there March 2010 in West Indies and I still dream! (and dream on!)

  • the music was a bit much, but the video rocked!

  • The Emma Maersk is a container ship, the Oasis is a cruise ship and the Queen Mary is an ocean liner. 3 very different types of ship. The difference between Oasis and QM2 is that the QM2 is built to cross oceans so is stronger and faster than a mere cruise ship. The Qm is the largest ocean liner ever built. It's a bit like the difference between a Rolls and a Skoda. The Oasis being the Skoda.

  • @TheJonfletcher

    I'd say the Queen Mary 2 is a Rolls Royce (one of the pre BMW ownership models)

    and the Oasis of the Seas is a pimped Mercedes. You know those who have vulgar chrome wheels, spoilers and wheel arches. Driven by thugs and pimps with money (earned illegally).

    Modern Skodas are actually good cars. Unmatched in their priceclass as a matter of fact. Far better than a Seat, from the same owner. Autocar's opinion and other well respected car magazines too.

  • @McLarenMercedes

    As a professional Cruise Specialist, whilst Cunard are fantastic and you are quite right they are like a much loved Rolls, reality is Royal Caribbean have revitalized the cruise industry, providing families with lots of activity and a great into to cruising. Surprising how many go on to book Cunard and P and O as well.! Using a car analogy if I must. How many folk learn to drive in a Rolls? Not many!

  • @McLarenMercedes

    Nothing wrong with the Oasis. It is over 50% larger than the QM2. It is more of a vacation resort ship than a classic liner. I would probably enjoy the classic liner feel the best. No doubt the QM2 is the nicest.

  • dident it sick

  • A brilliant comment, Funnyperson.

    What language is that?

  • Excellent, excellent video, but truly awful music track.

  • Emma Maersk is around 170,000 tons while Oasis of the Seas is 220,000 tons. Queen Mary 2 is around 150,000 tons.

  • beautiful ship, but there is not a young man in the whole video!

  • Really beautiful video!!

  • The glass elevator ride starting at :53 goes to deck 7 and ends looking into a seating area of King's Court (and vice versa). So get personal grooming ie fly check, booger removal, personal scratching completed by deck 6 or you'll be doing it in front of a bunch of diners. Probably those select few ones that you see 3 times a day every day of the voyage.

  • The Queen Marie 2 Is Larger Then Titanic!

    Its the biggest ship of the world

  • First of all Titanic was only biggest in 1912 but she was overtaken in size and luxury many times over in the 1920' and 1930's already. There have been hundreds of ocean liners bigger than Titanic.

    And sorry to disappoint you but Queen Mary 2 isn't the biggest ship either. Knock Nevis, the supertanker is still the largest ship ever made, but it's decomissioned.

    The biggest one now in use is EMMA MAERSK, a container ship, way longer and heavier than Queen Mary 2.

  • Actually , Emma Maersk is not the biggest ship in service. Oasis of the seas and freedom of the seas are bigger than Emma Maersk

  • Pardon me. No chance in hell. Emma Maesk is both heavier in Tonnage and longer in Lenght than either Oasis or Freedom of the seas.

    Google them. See for yourself.

  • I love the Original Queen Mary Ocean Liner; she is a High Art Deco Gem!

    Queen Mary 2 is glorious and richly appointed. I hope one day I have the pleasure of being a passenger on this the Grandest ship afloat.

  • I too hope that you will realise that pleasure , you really must do whatever it takes to do at least a Transatlantic and it WILL surpass you wildest expectations , even if you are in a "D" grade cabin you are still treated a King ....The most unpleasant part of a QM2 voyage is disembarking . I urge you to.. "Go for it".

  • Skyguy48: Departure this year (Oct15) went much smoother than last-we arrived about 1pm, were given a lettered card and sat to wait 'til they got to our letter. Everyone was excited and happy (and visiting). Our letter called, went to line for check in and pics,through security, on board by 2:30. Went for lunch in King's Court, explored ship to find some of the places I didn't last time. Everyone still excited and happy. (Looking 4ward to magic moments). Yippeeeee!

  • this ship doesnt seem as 'fun' as other cruise ships.

    this is more of a luxury boast for older people

  • NO ...This is NOT a cruise ship. This is an Ocean LINER for classy people ....YOU, belong on a Cruise ship :O)

  • So you've been on it?

  • Now now lets be nice!

  • @skyguy48

    Nothing to do with classy people. As a Cruise Specialist I can tell you that many of the people who go on the QM2 are the same people who will book to go on other lines as well. The QM2 is a beautiful Ocean liner and people of all walks of life love her. They go for the Ocean Liner Experience and that is classy. People tend to behave better because they want to be a part of it.

  • @skyguy48

    How many other lines have you been on?

  • @skyguy48 people with class NEVER use the word "classy"

  • @free2drm

    Skyguy check out my other post. Oops? I used the word "classy". Does this mean I have no class or is it because I used the word "whore" ?

    Don't anybody take offence. This is Youtube. Just laugh and don't get your bow ties in too much of a knot. That would make you very bourgeois.

    The QM2 is a phenomenal ship.

  • @skyguy48

    I agree that the QM2 is for classy people.  She's a grand Whore!

  • Piękny Statek

  • Loved it.  Great ship.

  • Lovely ship. We loved it.

  • We loved it

  • the new titanic!!!

  • don't say that, it might be bad luck

    Queen Mary 2 is the new Queen Mary

    the original Queen Mary was larger, faster and more successful than Titanic ever was

  • Es el barco de los sueños el mas hermoso q eh visto magnifico!

    la cancion tb es muy buena por favor alguien sabe como se llama? gracias.

  • 'Proud' , Heather Small.

  • @pratt68 Ella cantaba con M People...

  • @pratt68 u speak spanish???

  • if i won the lottery, i'd take my family and all my mates on a crusie of a lifetime, give em spending money too

  • lol you are kind

  • very good for Queen Merry 2 because it is a lovely ship if it is 1004 years old.

  • Isn't it a great ship?!! It is my biggest dream to travel on the QM2 in a princess suite. The ship has style and glamour, it is so nice. I think it's just fantastic to enter New York on this cruiseliner. Unbelievable! Wat a ship!

  • C'est mon rêve de traverser l'atlantique sur ce bateau avec une cabine vu sur mer et balcon!!! Il est incroyable ce paquebot!

  • C'est absolument vrai. Vous devriez voyager sur QM2. C'est un voyage formidable.

  • Fantastic video! Great choice of music too!!

    She (QM2) is my annual vacation destination; there is nothing like her!

  • Taking a trip to Britain and France, who knows QM2 might be the more comfortable way to go home.

  • the queen mary is said to be haunted by a little girl named jackie who died in the pool room

  • yea the queen mary not the queen mary 2 but its still alode of bull.

  • going on it august 17th - the best thing i've ever done in my life is go on this ship - it is truly special and magical!

  • My wife and myself will be on the Q Mary in October, see you there.

  • Thank-you. We went across last fall for the first time and will cruise around Britain this oct. So looking 4ward to it.

  • QM2 has is the better than the best slovak hotel! :)

    (I´m slovak)  :D:D:D

  • Muchas gracias!

  • Gracias. Heather Small, "Proud".

  • The nicest ship in the world.

  • i was there to in summer 2008 it´s unbeliveble

  • if you filmed this what time did you wake up?

  • Early! It was before the ship arrived for its maiden call into San Francisco.

  • nice work must be hard

  • How wonderful! I drove to San Francisco to see her when she arrived for her inaugural visit.

    Thanks so much for posting this great video. I dream of doing a crossing on her one day.

  • Thank you, Smokeyham. Sailing into San Francisco and under the Golden Gate Bridge for that inaugural visit - and the tremendous reception by the great folk of California - was the highlight of a wonderful voyage around the Americas.

  • omg i went on this at the same tme!!!! hahah we were on the boat at the same trip ahah woot

    FlightCrewWannaBe, lol !

  • What's the title of the song and who is singing?

  • The song is called Proud, by Heather Small. She sang it at the naming ceremony. It was also used by the British Olympic Association in their bid for the London 2012 Games.

  • i been on the queen mary 2

    its breath takeing :D

    i went to the theater every day and messed around in the lifts coz they were awesome xD

  • This isnt a cruise ship, its an ocean liner, and a great one! Nice video

  • I'm glad someone has finally differentiated between the two.

  • I am really jelous Of Your Voyage lol, hopefully I will go on one someday

  • Really liked your video.My wife and I are sailing on her next year and are looking forward to the trip even more now.

  • I was wondering what model video camera you used and what editing software. I am in the market for a new video camera and editing software.

  • Just an ordinary Sony camcorder and Windows Movie Maker which can make movie directors of all of us! LOL

  • Did you have an grand duplex:O??

  • he is right but i think this ship is very beautiful!!!!

  • WOW! O_O

    Just beautiful.

  • Dear pratt68,

    You have truly captured the QM2 at her finest. Having been on her 3x's, she is a very special vessel to experience. I too enjoy editing my videos & pictures afterward to remember the goodtimes. We are looking forward to traveling with her for many, many years to come. Anyone that wishes to try a different type of cruising but on a oceanliner, this is the ship (not boat) to do so.

  • me and my 10yr old daughter are sailing on aug 13th from southampton to new york.we're so lookin foward to it.we also can't wait to hit the shops in the big apple!

  • I have never been on to a cruise and looking at the video itself kinda inspired me..A rather stupid question though..What does the ticket includes?? I mean is all the food, wines, entertainment and stuff included.???

  • The ticket price includes all meals on board as well as all entertainment. It does not include alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks purchased in the dining rooms or in the bars. It does include things such as tea, coffee and juices available in the food court and also afternoon tea. The price does not include access to email facilities available in every cabin or internet access through the library. Go to Cunard's website for more info.

  • do some of the interior rooms have windows (grand lobby) like in freedom of the seas

  • im going in august from southhampton (england) to manhatten and its costing $10,000 for me and my parents

  • how much does it coast to go on the QM2

  • excellent video, but the music seems all wrong. don't know, its just me...

  • Good advice re the laundry and shoes , thanks very much. I'll be sure to add a comment on my return. I feel several more viewings of this video needed before I go, Im hooked !

  • Im travelling on this wonderful ship in a few weeks time. As if I wasnt already excited enough watching this has made me fit to burst.

    Thank you for the fabulous video !

  • Thank you. You'll have a great time on board. Take a pair of walking shoes. It's a BIG ship! And watch yourself in the laundry rooms. It's a jungle out there. It's where all the best fights happen as passengers scrap over the washers and driers. No kidding!

  • wow i love this cruise shes so r/loyale :) but she cant compare a bean like the classic liners they have their own and rightful an pure yet truse beauty- and can eany1 tell me the name of the song lol

  • It's 'Proud' by Heather Small, formerly of M People. The song was used at the naming ceremony in January 2004. Heather Small was there to perform it live.

  • how many decks did she have coz sadly i H8 HER i cant get over how we have all changed ppl looked better in suits and dresses instead of jeans and ships looked better in wood not plastic 1908-1920 liners were the best NO CRUISE CAN OUTDO THEM

  • There are 13 decks and you're right, she's not a patch on the old liners. QE2 is far more elegant and graceful but I'm afraid it's the age in which we live - big and brash is deemed better.

  • well i wish som1 could kindof take us back in time and recreat classical liners such as titanic mauretania lusitania olympic they would sell ALOT of tickets make huge amount of profit and people would enjoy it people could supply thier own clothes due to te time period and im sure they could put actresses and actors to recreat the scenes of departure and life onbroad make the survants speak old english it would be a big seller =] and we would all enjoy her soon there will be floating skyscrapers

  • 'Servants?' I wouldn't let any of the crew hear you say that on board if I were you!

  • She is such a wonderous and magnificent vessel.

  • i have never been on a cruise but just watching this has inspired me to want to go on one even more!!great video..
