We left Brooklyn, NY on a sunny but cold day. When we boarded the ship the captain made it very clear we were going to face multiple storms. And we did! THANK GOODNESS WE WERE ON THE QUEEN MARY 2! The Queen Mary 2 is the only actively sailing ocean liner in the world. We were so fortunate to be able to sail on her from New York to Southampton and eventually on to Perth Australia. However the 8 day sailing from New York to Southampton was a journey all by itself with 3 straight days and nights of massive storms and one day of gale force winds. The Queen Mary 2, because of her ocean liner design and the way she was built, handled all the storms like a hot knife through butter. We felt a little rocking and felt safe the whole time. We really embraced the storms only because of the way the ship could handle them. We think if it was any other ship we may have had a “may-day” situation. It was 3 straight days & nights of 30 to 40 foot sea swells, extremely high winds, snow and ice. We were able to have some fun with the situation only because the QM2 made it safe for us. Please consider watching our entire Cunard Playlist to see more of this magnificient oceanliner as well as some of the adventures we had at each of the ports of call. This journey started in NY in January 2024 when we boarded the Queen Mary 2 and sailed to Southampton, England - Tenerife, Spain - Walvis Bay, Namibia - Port Elizabeth, Capetown & Durban, South Africa - Reunion Island - Mauritius Island and then finally Perth, Australia. We stayed in an inside cabin (check out our cabin tour & review video) for 45 days that included a Transatlantic Crosssing and 2 Segments of her World Cruise. With many interesting changes in weather, sickness, safety protocols, breaking-news LIVE updates, as well as amazing ports of call with two overnight stops we hope you find our videos both informative and fun to watch. And as always... Thanks for coming along on our journey!
