Creator's Key Takeaways
Are all transatlantic crossings created equal? Spoiler alert, the answer is no, but I thought we should have a look at the reasons why.
Queen Mary 2 is designed differently from the cruise ships, allowing her to do a far more northerly voyage time and time again with very minimal disruption to the ship schedule.
Queen Anne did struggle a bit in those kind of conditions, meaning that the ship actually arrived in port a day late.
This just illustrated the difference in the performance of an ocean liner versus that of a cruise ship.
