Great video! Good to see the 2 "Queens of the Seas" together. I watched the QE2 being built in my home town of Clydebank. She is a beautiful ship. When she sailed down river it was a sad day. We all knew she was the last liner to be built on the Clyde. The end of an era. I think they were hoping to bring her back to form part of a new transport and martime museum in Glasgow but that is not going to happen. Hopefully she will be well looked after in Dubai.
Considering a cruise for your holiday or your honeymoon? You'll think twice after you google search: "Maritime Security by Bonesman322." It's a long, fascinating read, a blog about how maritime capital interests use organized crime to take over unions and undermine organized Labor--people like you--to keep wages low and working conditions horrible.
I want to travel on the Queen Mary 2 for my senoir trip. Yup, I'm already saving up. v_v Nice vid, it is a historical moment because the two are sister ships, gald you got it on video!
i live in South Shields just near Newcastle England. Queen Elizabeth 2 is on her last visit to South Shields before she retires all together......... if you search for QE2 South Shields or QE2 river tyne, in a few days you should get to see her coming and leaving us... she is massive.... and she deserved her goodbye visit from SOUTH SHIELDS UK ......
I am annoyed that they're retiring QE2. It really is the last of the proper transatlantic liners, and I enjoy watching it come in to Fremantle near sunrise every year or so.
And now it's going to belong to a bunch of rich bastards in Dubai!! Sucky....
The Cunard Line are cunts and so is P&O. They got rid of British crews to employ foreign crew who get paid a pittance and rely on tips for their wages. The senior ratings are able to treat the foreigners like shit and are able to get away with it. Only the Officers remain British and the British Merchant Navy was ruined a long time ago. Fuck Cunard the cunts.
wow you sound quite bitter! did you once work at cunard? i don't know what the people are like on board - I'm more impressed by the fact that people can create such massive feats of engineering. I guess the staff situation reflects the current state of the globalized world - hire cheap labour from overseas and do with them what you will. It sucks but it's reality...
What is a bore is for some poor filipinos or indians not to get off the ship for a year when it should be every 3 months, and they don't hardly get paid. It is not right to treat people like this.
A year without going ashore! That's horrible. I believe it though... Things like that, sadly, will continue to happen as long as there are human beings on this planet.
HI,I was lucky enough to sail on her last year,leaving Rotterdam with the reception that place gave us will be a lifelong memory,thanks for this ,fantastic...
I saw it come thrugh the Golden Gate in California. I was also amazing! Sailed under the bridge and missed it by 27 feet. We had the same feelings that you had. Great video!
The greatest day, I was out in one of those little boats
