Creator's Key Takeaways
Are all transatlantic crossings created equal? Spoiler alert, the answer is no.
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.
Modern-day cruise ships, however, will often take in more ports because they'll go further south, quite often taking imports along the west coast of Africa or even places such as Madiraa or the Canaries.
This just illustrated the difference in the performance of an ocean liner versus that of a cruise ship.
