Thanks. A trip on the QE2 out of NY after college (university to non-Americans) is something one never forgets. A couple of things: at about 2:30, the ship was obviously out of NY harbor and churning up some water (so that was a splice in) and the lady in the background at 1:58 needed to be kept away from the buffet! I know, I know, QM2 is the new flagship, but many remain loyal to QE2 because of her 40-year history and more yacht-like looks. Very enjoyable video of history in the making.
@highlyopinionated1 Well spotted. (I am the film maker) I first saw QM2 on 2005 at New York harbor and shot some images using a SD camera. When I sailed on her in 2008, I needed some external shots - so naturally I spliced them in. And yes, the QM lacks the grace of the QE, which looks like a ship, not a hotel. But I need to re-submit this video because it squeezed to 4:3 from 16:9.
