What an amazing feat of engineering, how the cruise ships like Queen Elizabeth squeeze through is amazing. Next on my hit list is the Panama Canal

[@leoedwards3728]

I cried when I left the ship.

[@bvanleeuwen254]

This really shows how top heavy the modern cruise ships are.

[@lamborgatti-4783]

Bob van Leeuwen this is an ocean liner not a cruise ship

[@WWTBAMWinner]

Queen Elizabeth is a cruise ship. Queen Mary 2 is the only ocean liner in Cunard's fleet.

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

Queen Elizabeth is a cruise ship as is her sister, Queen Victoria. The third Cunard sister is the Queen Mary 2 which IS an ocean liner.

[@thedino_507]

I'm from Panama i speak spanish

[@romeo9017]

Respect - the Suez transit on QM2 with a Navy escort through the Gulf of Hormuz was a rare experience also...

[@sueperstar69]

WOW!! That's amazing...thank's for posting this ;)

[@GreaterTorontoTV]

Thanks for taking us there!!

[@adracingindonesia181]

Hi stupid

[@mikemancini313]

Queen Elizabeth II was the only ship ever able to fit into the Panama Canal out of the 4 Cunard Queens. Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary II and Queen Elizabeth II. Not counting the new Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth III.

[@orel74379]

Sincerely heartfelt thanks for the interesting video about the cruise!Again thank! :)

[@robertbrockway7301]

That is a beautiful ship.

[@davidliaotn]

Oh wow.....that part of footage shot from ground going upward, only then I realize how huge this boat is....o.0

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

Not a boat but a SHIP.

[@lasuvidaboy]

The modified Carnival Corp USA Vista/Spirit Class design won't win any beauty prizes but it's nice to have another Cunard cruise ship. She is NO Queen liner but a luxurious cruise ship.

[@ed9709]

Just clearing the sides by inches. Fantastic seamanship.

[@nmfd31]

What was this filmed with, a stick?

[@Attomicc076]

It’s probably just an old video

[@Marvlouso]

Yeah I recorded it on my iStick

[@pieyield2255]

It was filmed with a potato

[@magicaleditz]

what do you expect this was in 2011

[@LuisoGamerYT]

I have an ask: what happened to the Queen Elizabeth 2? Not this one, the another, the transatlantic

[@collinharris45]

Which way was it going? Eastbound or westbound

[@dogmannz]

Westbound. Look at the shadows from the sun. If you don't understand what I mean look at the locks on Google Earth to understand their orientation to the planets rotation. Transit takes about 8 hours so she entered the Atlantic locks in the morning and exited the Pacific locks in the afternoon.

[@CygnusCo]

Awesome!

[@SteveCarrett]

What an interesting video. I liked that very much, thank you.

[@shuichiboy]

Since the canal expansion, does the QM2 fit now?

[@zahidhussain-vr1gz]

Yes

[@evansmith1920]

shuichiboy I guess so

[@evansmith1920]

shuichiboy yup

[@geoffhalden6327]

Who did the music? Really catchy!

[@alexgramofficial__]

Good Video #Cunard love it!

[@lamdang2701]

is white star line still being with cunard ??!

[@RubyyVista]

White Star Line went bankrupt decades ago.

[@ProfessorPotatoPhD]

White Star became defunct in 1934 as a result of the Great Depression but nevertheless survived through a Merger with Cunard untill 1950, when the latter bought the remaining portion of the formers' shares. Since then, it's only Cunard (which itself is now part of Carnival Corporation)

[@usfanlovesjiwoo1978]

Such a beautiful ship!

[@varyag_cruiser1899]

👍

[@bencarter8324]

What kind of potato did you film this with?!?!

[@carldeniega8509]

im a doctor but im so sorry theres no cure for this :(

[@bencarter8324]

carl deniega haha

[@carldeniega8509]

yes my friend laughter is the best medicine.

[@gloriaprescott4231]

Ben Carter

[@evansmith1920]

Ben Carter a shit one

[@HigorMeirelles]

Qual o nome da música do vídeo?

[@CaptainArt777]

If you are ever in the worst storm ever, this is the ship to be on. Not one of those cruise ships. Nice job with the video.

[@stiglilleaas5685]

QM2 is the "transatlantic" built one...not Victoria and Elizabeth.. they are cruise-ships ! :)

[@WWTBAMWinner]

As much as I don't like the boxy stern of the ship, I much prefer seeing "Southampton" instead of "Hamilton".

[@LuisoGamerYT]

Me too

[@neilpetersen9276]

Why isn't it called the Qween Elizabeth 3?

[@bigfrank1010]

do Navy ships have to pay the canal fee 🇺🇸

[@timmy07YT]

unbelievable...

[@rishiragaa3489]

video not clear....

[@boataxe4605]

Why is the Queen Mary 2 referred to as 2 yet The Queen Elizabeth is not referred to as The Queen Elizabeth 3?

[@Apatetika]

Boat Axe they named it as a omage to the original

[@tedeibertklomp5916]

Practig schip. 1 keer in Rotterdam aan de Parkkade gezien.

[@josovalentic3010]

Prekrasno

[@sanchezs168]

Era el barco de los sueños para todos, mas para mi era un simple barco de esclavos que me regresaba encadenada a america.

[@oscardanielruiz7223]

Hubiera imaginado al Lusitania o al titanic cruzando por este canal

[@carlespinoza9197]

Woóo in panama city yes

[@muhammadfadhiil3430]

idk how didn't it get stuck

[@swirm621]

Wow...

[@zacharylegaspi7594]

Soo lets see. There was the Queen Elizabeth. then there was the Queen Elizabeth 2. So wouldn't this be the Queen Elizabeth 3?

[@xenomorphss832]

Kind of

[@qe2836]

+Zachary Legaspi It would have been logical. But it's not so unusual for a shipping company to use the name of one of their old, no more existing, ship for a new ship.

[@baritonebynight]

+Zachary Legaspi The original QE and QE2 were ocean liners designed for transatlantic transportation. The new ship is a common cruise ship and bears nothing in common with the two other ships that were named QE.

[@ph11p3540]

I would like the British Royal Navy to stop calling it's latest Aircraft Carrier the Queen Elizabeth 2. It's a military ship of the finest naval traditions. To give it a name only fitting of an ocean liner is insulting.

[@boataxe4605]

+baritonebynight Then why did they name the new Queen Mary, two?

[@robertonascimento8002]

Muito bacana 🇧🇷

[@carlespinoza9197]

I am panama city

[@darvindowns2554]

nice

[@pasarbarutimur]

Lol, they probably filmed it using the old Nokia Nseries phone.

[@shelty3178]

Queen Elizabeth 2*

[@jeandeaux7624]

massive

[@trotsky7115]

If the titanic passes the panama canal hmmmm.... oh wait titanic sank already lmAo

[@superstar-rs6he]

Very old ship.

[@kauedavidson9400]

atlantic ocean to ocean pacific or pacific to atlantic

[@MrKottigra]

there were three ship called Queen Elizabeth the most beautiful and the best speed of them was the first Queen Elizabeth, the second was not so great as the first and the third is the worst of all - he is the most slow of them and the small and ugly, I'm not going to sit for a third Queen Elizabeth, he will not fit and not in comparison does not go with the first two.

[@zenakumasashi6514]

If queen mary 2 in the panama canal she will stuck

[@kayenvangoor8183]

That will happend in hear world cruise of 2026

[@bobmarshall3700]

Too noisy, too many stupid tourists.

[@ditadelugt8874]

That awfull music always ......
