Creator's Key Takeaways

It's the start of our first sea day as we head off across the Atlantic proper.

We love long sea days and chose this cruise because of the BFI Film Festival at Sea.

The food was better than we remembered.

We won the quiz. We beat the film directors.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a pot of tea if you want a lot of tea, as service can be slow.
Try the coffee at the front of the ship near connections for a smooth option.

YouTube Video Description

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 heads across the Atlantic on its way to New York, but are these long sea days relaxing or boring? This cruise is Cunard’s first Film Festival at sea, held in partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI). Therefore, many of the speakers and activities during the transatlantic crossing are related to film. We love long sea days and chose this cruise because of the BFI Film Festival at Sea. On the second sea day,, we had talks from Mike Valentine, an underwater cameraman. There was also a BFI talk with Miranda Richardson, who has been in many films, but we remember her as Queenie in Blackadder 2. So far, this transatlantic voyage on Queen Mary 2 was incredibly relaxing.
