YouTube Video Description

Queen MARY 2 To New York BUT THEN WHERE? What are we expecting on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 cruise (or should we say voyage) across the Atlantic to New York City? This will be our second time on QM2 but the first time on the route she was designed to sail, crossing the North Atlantic from Southampton to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Will Queen Mary 2 be just as enjoyable as our first trip? The cruise is actually part of the BFI Film Festival at Sea in partnership with Cunard. Who’s going to be on board? Also, when we get to New York, we do not stay there; instead, we go on a short road trip south. 0:00 Hello & Welcome 1:22 Where Are We Cruising? 5:50 What Are We Doing When We Arrive? 8:28 Heading South 11:00 Where Are We Staying? 12:49 Driving Back To New York 16:03 Hello Patreons ‘Our Next BIG TRIP! - Queen Of Seas To The Queen Of Country’ - Filmed February 2025 #QM2 #QueenMary2 #Cunard Our first trip on QM2 and some of our other transatlantic crossings. 🎥 First time on QM2 https://youtu.be/6DlLw8ZSJLU 🎥 Transatlantic with P&O Cruises https://youtu.be/lWdGganaJV8 🎥 Transatlantic with Celebrity Cruises https://youtu.be/3mNXXnKSNwU More Travel Videos Added Weekly And Remember - Not All Vloggers Say ‘HiGuys!!!!!!’ ▶︎CONTACT US at http://www.flydriveexplore.com ▶︎FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/flydriveexplore/ ▶︎INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/flydriveexplore/
