I was on that ship for a Deaf Co. Cruise. I went with many stars on that ship. Everyone on that ship was deaf, and not one hearing person. Even the crew! Although the Capt. wasnt deaf, he was hearing but can sign ASL. And you might be right, Freedom Of The Seas was pretty big. We had our own Starbucks inside our room, and our own Ben & Jerry's. I have to admit though, the QM2 looks pretty big. But then, that would mean some competion between the both of them. Nice video. Enjoyed it!

[@BoostedInline6]

Progress that harkins back from the liners from the early 1900s. I love it.

[@hop208]

It's really more then a $Billion boat. It costs millions to fuel this ship, supply it with not only food, but gourme food, and to staff and maintain her. It seems like a lot of pressure to be under to stay in the black. One wrong move and the ship loses a ton of money and could slip into the red.

[@awakeskate33]

yeah Freedom of Sea's was just in port canaveral yesterday. its freekin huge!

[@lasuvidaboy]

Panama is planning new wider locks for the canal in the near future so Queen Mary 2 and other huge ships will be able to transit the canal. This eliminates the expensive round South America trip when she is doing cruises.

[@gordo9405]

Iv been on This ship twice! And let me tell you you have to book a cruise on this ship! Everything on board was so luxurious! I couldn't belleive my when we entered our room

[@goldenpup90]

I've only been on Carnival and I loved it. My aunt has been on RCI and she hated it. She said the food was terrible.

[@Makukeisari]

1:20 NOKIA TUNE!!

[@BuckGestapo]

I'm surprised that they don't engineer it to transform into a flying craft so it can transverse any geographical inconvenience. It would afford a spectacular view for those who need more diversity to their horizon.

[@phoenix1985]

Cunard was building ships over a century before RCCL even existed. It built speed champions and some of the largest ships built in their time. They built liners that could go over 30 knots. RCCL cruise ships can barely do 20 and can't stand up to a storm like a liner can.

[@rangeclerk]

WE would take a trip on this ship and think what the stars in the cosmos would look like from the deck of this wonderous ship!

[@Riku1135]

There's planns to preserve this & put it next the QM1. i hope they do that, rather than scrap it

[@utthapa]

This ship is not as beautiful-looking as The Queen Mary for it to be preserved. The top decks just look like nondescript apartment blocks. Apart from the size, there's nothing beautiful about the exterior of the ship. It's certainly no Titanic or SS France. It's better to scrap her on retirement.

[@acvossius]

Waves create a pendulum motion for ships, flatbottom ships have no keel, they would tip over, capseize and possibly sink. Can`t just slap a keel on the flat bottom, it would snap right off. Hull design on oceangoing ships are fairly uniform, a flat bottom would actually make it verry unstable.

[@jjarchit]

Also, QM2's ratio of balcony cabins is becomming somewhat low when compared to other new builds.

[@christiangoth84]

A ship doesn't sink if it has too much weight, it sinks if it's total buoyancy is less than 0. Buoyancy comes out of a ratio between weight and the amount of water that the ship displaces. If you make the hull large enough you can accommodate any amount of weight.

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

No one said the Queen Mary 2 is unsinkable, the Oasis of the seas is also compared to Titanic.

[@You-ub2fe]

What do you mean?

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

This OCEAN LINER, does not frequently cross Cape Horn, the documentary exaggerates the whose situation. She's actually even the safest passenger ship out there. And she features many safety features from the past ocean liners. Plus there's a new panama canal, eliminating the requirement of crossing cape horn.

[@neabear77]

Good LORD that boat is HUGE!!! wow, just wow.....

[@Thillith]

@kurtnelle New Panama canal is allready under construction, but it will take some time to finish it :)

[@Deadlytrick]

i totally agree with the more balconies because they want to please more customers but seriously when they say cape horn is the most dagerous waters in the world, they aren't kidding.

[@5233484]

so luxury prevails over safety...... awesome -_-

[@SovietImperator]

short please make it longer

[@JusAnotherUTuber]

In 2014, when they finish the Panama Canal expansion, the size of the ship will no longer be a problem.

[@Brychase121]

You got that right.

[@shaddapushaddap]

this is because it is not a box shape liner and because they wanted to fit it out with magnificent splendour to attract the right clientele.

[@kurtisokc]

@Gotred Actually, I think that there are plans to do exactly that. Actually, not the canal itself, but there are plans to build new sets of locks, parallel to the existing ones, which would accomodate wider container ships. I don't know how far along the project is, or when it will be completed.

[@homeric9]

A shame Mr. Arison didn't put this level of design and thought into at least one more ship within the Carnival brand. we are constantly subjected to the same old Vista and Panamax ships with the same decor, same layouts for all his different brands time and again. Carnival acts incredibly complacent with its product and I sincerely hope soemone takes over Carnival and gives both Mickey and his company the kick in the butt it needs,

[@TheMasochrist]

James Russell invented the compact disk in 1965. James Russell was granted a total of 22 patents for various elements of his compact disk system. However, the compact disk did not become popular until it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980. The first Cell phone was invented by Martin Cooper. Yeah and last time I checked he did invent the lightbulb who gives a flying fuck about previous inventions. Simple thing is that they did it and they were a US citizen.

[@sydneysmooth21]

Some info, the Titanic was the biggest for her year 1912. Since then there has been hundreds, hundreds of much larger ships, the titanic is small in comparison to ocean liners of the late 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s, & 50s. For a person to refer to the titanic shows how out of view you are to the world and history around you.

[@jonnynice8366]

Don't worry, history never repeats itself ;-)

[@K9TheFirst1]

-And he can advertise a truly global circumnavigational voyage! See all 7 continents! Not THAT bad a trade off.

[@Matt833]

I say, forget limitations, just build it so it can hold smaller ships and get around the building limitations : )

[@chrisr19897]

I'd like to see Freedom, Liberty and Indepedence of the Seas tackle the North Atlantic and trip round Cape Horn and make it to New York an Los Angeles in good time.

[@jec1ny]

Now I know who to blame! Private balconies on an ocean liner are among the most hideous things I have ever seen. They seriously detract from the appearance and the ambiance of the QM2.

[@SovietImperator]

2years later: And the new panama canal is finished!!!!! Captain: oh hey, we can now go through the panama canal

[@jjarchit]

In my opinion, QM2 would have been better if she hadn't been built with Carnival's management influencing Cunard. Except without Carnival's deep pockets, Cunard could have never afforded to build a ship this big. Still, she looks more like an average cruise ship than a liner. I think I remember hearing that Cunard had two identical sisters planned before Carnival came along. Another thing I don't get about the video...isn't there a good amount of cruise ships that sail around Cape Horn?

[@white1045]

awesome story !!

[@Marc1uz]

wow.. thats a nice boat

[@tigerdaddy]

Nice boat.

[@TheFinalSay]

Hmmm...from those balconies they will be able to see those 100 ft waves at cape horn! :S

[@BOGOWA22]

how about a double haul/"u haul" design??

[@PinClockFuntime]

[@guildmasteraq]

break the ground rules? See you underwater! Just wait to see what reaction is on the facce of people who said "this is unsinkable"

[@fenderguitarist05]

lol its kinda funny how they are willing to take this thing through such a dangerous spot, just so one guy gets his balconys

[@flectz]

Where have you been...? There are TONS of ships nowadays that are bigger than the titanic... and thats nothing surprising. The titanic only seemed huge AT THE TIME.

[@coconutxp123]

ill be playing "Im on a Boat" by lonely islands when im on this

[@Spiralworm]

What the hell. They will have to go around South America. These people are willing to carry passengers into Cape HORN aka the Sailor's Graveyard just because they want a few damn Balconies. Cape Horn has monterous waves, terrible winds and deathly water currents. They want to risk lives just for balconies? I hope this isn't Titantic 2

[@lasuvidaboy]

1:14 no wider than the Panama Canal? QM2 cannot fit through the canal as she is a post 'Panamax' ship. The QE2 was a Panamax ship with dimensions of 964x105. QM2 will be able to transit the new locks at the Panama canal when they are completed.

[@salakasto]

@zakquack i suppose all 196 countries are working together to cover it up as well?

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

Ok, so they are building a new port in the panama canal for larger ships, so QM2 will fit through there, so they might as well just make her as wide as they can for the new port.

[@QWERTYCommander]

NICE BOAT

This just shows the worlds oppressive wealth and excess. Look up poverty, homelessness, and hunger on youtube and compare those videos to this. It's astonishing how much we waste because we choose to not look at the hardships of others.

for yor information she sails with the red ensign as she is registerd in southhampton yes carnival own her but shes a british inditution wich replaced the qe2 another great BRIT tradition

Cruise ships altogether suck rat balls. An ocean liner takes you someplace far across the ocean. Cruise ships hug the coast and go around in circles. Ocean liners FTW!

[@motorbikemadmax]

very lucky...!

[@gordo9405]

Ummm did you not know that they did make a new Titanic? i sailed in january or something like that and the reason they dont build ships like that anymore because we are not in the gilded age anymore. All todays cruise ships are Way bigger than the Titanic so that the cruise company can make more money! Titanic could only carry 2,500 passengers and The Queen Mary 2 can carry over 4000 passenger! But i gotta tell you the Titanic is still my favourite ship and my fabourite movie! lol

[@BlackCat_2]

Nice maybe but I would not go on it. I don't feel they are as concerned with safety as they are with making it a grand ship. Sounds familiar. Titanic anyone?

hehe but mickey gets his balconies
