Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm currently traveling on the Kunan Queen Mary 2. And this is my transatlantic crossing video tour.
The ship was kind of still cutting through the sea, but at times swells were between 30 and 40 ft high, which is uh pretty impressive.
It's much more stable than any other ship you can possibly imagine.
The great thing about a transatlantic crossing is the decks are incredibly quiet.
