YouTube Video Description

Watch this video to see what it’s like to see what it’s like to travel onboard Cunard Queen Mary 2 across the Atlantic Ocean! We’ll take you along as we travel for eight days from Southampton to New York in a Queens Grill Suite onboard the world’s only remaining Ocean Liner! Queen Mary 2 may be one of the most special ships on Planet Earth and, in this video, you’ll get to experience everything she has to offer her 2,000+ guests. You’ll get a complete Queen Mary 2 tour, the flagship of the Cunard Line. We’ll give you our cruise tips for this crossing on this Cunard Cruise on an Ocean Liner! This Cunard Cruise Review is our first time traveling by ship and we chose to do it right by traveling in a Queens Grill Suite, but not just any Suite, but a Penthouse on the Seas! Now, to be fair, this isn’t a “Cruise” in the traditional sense, instead, it’s called a “Crossing!” We’ll even explain how Cunard dining works on QM2, including all of the options available. We’ll explain the difference between Queens Grill, Princess Grill, and Britannia. You’ll even get an idea of how much a transatlantic cruise costs, from the cheapest to the most expensive options. So, join Suzanne and me inside Queen Mary 2 as we travel on the QM2 across the Atlantic Ocean! 0:00 Introduction 0:53 Boarding Queen Mary 2 2:12 Sailing Away from Southampton 6:03 Queen Mary 2 Ship Tour 12:11 Queens Grill Penthouse Suite Tour 14:58 Gala Night 16:39 24 Hours on Queen Mary 2 18:45 Dining Options on Queen Mary 2 21:45 Bad Weather on Queen Mary2 25:24 Second Gala Night 28:42 Arriving into New York 32:03 Bloopers ​​For more trip reports, please subscribe to my channel! http://www.JebBrooksFlies.com Check me out on Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/JebBrooksFlies Check me out on Twitter, too: https://twitter.com/jebbrooks And don't forget to take a look at my travel blog: https://greenergrass.com/ Music: Micro Evolution - Howard Harper-Barnes New Grasp - Aorora Discoveries - Clarence Reed Miika’s Journey - Lama House Tall Poppy - Alfie-Jay Winters Magma - Lama House Big Announcement - Out To The World So Alone (Instrumental Version) - Filthy The Kid Vivacity - Phello Soft Expectations - Gold in June Morning Rises - Airae Coalescence - Airae Wicked Man - Martin Landstrom A Beginning - Rymdklang Soundtracks Courageous Endeavor - Airae Bad Vibe - Crystal Shards Island to Island - Adriel Fair The Light from Within - Howard Harper-Barnes The Kill (Instrumental Version) - Particle House Memories of You - Marc Torch To the Last Man - Jon Bjork Reflected - Pearce Roswell
