QM2 vs QE2 - Is Queen Mary 2 or Queen Elizabeth 2 the ultimate ocean liner?
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator compares the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth 2 across several categories to determine which ocean liner holds the advantage. Regarding engineering, the creator notes that while the Queen Elizabeth 2 was faster, the Queen Mary 2 is more efficient, greener, and more maneuverable due to its pod system. In the category of accommodations, the Queen Mary 2 is deemed superior because its cabins offer modern hotel comforts, larger layouts, and a higher ratio of balcony rooms compared to the Queen Elizabeth 2. When examining amenities, the creator finds a split; the Queen Mary 2 offers more modern features like a planetarium and a large library, but the Queen Elizabeth 2 is credited with better public space design and the creation of iconic Cunard signature rooms. Finally, the creator evaluates their historical significance, noting the Queen Elizabeth 2 was a famous floating resort that served as a troop carrier, while the Queen Mary 2 is the largest and most expensive ocean liner ever built. The creator concludes that while both ships are legendary, the Queen Elizabeth 2 wins the design category by a narrow margin.
