I immigrated to America on the Queen Mary in 1961 in tourist class (cheapest). Many areas of the ship were off limits to tourist class. Last month on a trip to LA my wife and I stayed on the Queen Mary which is a hotel and we stayed in the First Class cabin. We explored every inch of the ship. It was great to go back on her after 52 years. I remember waking up at 300am in 1961 to see the Statue of Liberty as we entered New York. Your voyage looked amazing.

I also crossed the Atlantic again in 2017 and talked with the captain about my earlier crossing. My best wishes to all who have crossed the Atlantic or will do soon the future.

20:30 exactly 20 years and 1 month ago I drove over that bridge...a 19 year old from Lafayette Louisiana who hadn't been further abroad than the Panhandle of Florida or Houston Texas. I went with a friend who was from there to spend 2 weeks. On the last day we were there the massive east coast Blackout happened when we were in Downtown manhattan...We walked 12 miles to get back to his uncle's place, and as we crossed into Queens I looked back and saw hundreds of thousands of people walking behind me. And shortly after crossing into Queens night fell and we saw the stars explode into view overhead for what is probably the first time in over 50 years. It really was a remarkable experience, one that reminiscing about is making me a bit emotional.

We were in Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side, when the blackout occured on the whole east coast however we knew nothing about because the Niagara falls power generators took themselves off the power grid to prevent going down so we had power the whole time. Didn't find out about it until we got back to Maryland.

TO NAPKE I'm sorry, Napke - despite all its good points, of course, it's a HIDEOUS ship, like the predecessors in this serious! No design at all! No STYLE, just like a block of flats or a hotel, dumped on a hull, in my opinion! People about to pay out large amounts of money for luxury dining, on land, or on the sea, need to check out beforehand, exactly what they ARE going to be paying FOR!

@@nygelmiller5293 Well, it's not a leisure ship. This is an Ocean Liner. It's meant to bring people across the ocean in a reasonable time period. It's supposed to be practical, not pretty. It's exceedingly good at what it does. Which is cross the ocean. When all the ships were in port in Hurricane Sandy, the QM2 plowed through the storm. It was literally build for this.

I wish Ocean Liners were still popular today. For those wondering, ocean liners are mainly for crossings and direct transport between continents or countries, whereas cruise ships are mainly just for pleasure sailing. That makes Queen Mary 2 the last ocean liner as she is the only ship that conducts transatlantic crossings. However, I do believe it is possible to book a round trip ticket aboard the Queen Mary 2 but that would be much more expensive. All that aside, one day I would love to make a crossing aboard the Queen Mary 2. Also, I had no idea the Queen Mary 2 has penthouse cabins and now I realize my dream to sail aboard QM2 will have to wait until I save enough.

I think one big difference between ocean liners and cruise ships is that liners are built to handle more severe weather. A cruise ship can skip a port or go to an alternate or at worst just cancel. But liners have passengers with a schedule to keep. Probably this doesn’t matter as much as it used to when there wasn’t jet travel.

The best (and only) shipboard experience I’ve ever had was during my junior year in college when I went on a program called Semester at Sea. It’s a floating college campus, where I took classes while at sea while we visited 9 countries (10 if you count our port of departure which was Nassau, Bahamas). It’s mostly college students onboard, but there are people who book spaces onboard as guests. We circumnavigated the globe, starting in Nassau, and visited Havana, Cuba; Salvador, Brazil; Cape Town, South Africa; Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania; Chennai, India; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Hong Kong; Busan, South Korea; and Osaka, Japan before crossing thethe Pacific to our final port of Seattle. 3 ocean crossings, 9 countries and 3 of the most exciting months of my life.

This proves what I‘ve been thinking for a while. You two have to be the best travel reviewers on KZbin, alongside perhaps DownieLive. You and Suzanne are both so consistently wonderful, both in character and in video quality, it really is amazing! Always professional, but always light-hearted. Even in an environment like this, that 99.9% of viewers will likely never experience, you do not make us feel left out for a second. No distance, no pretentiousness, no flaunting, the video is as inviting, engaging and fun as all the others on more “mundane” transport options. Seriously Jeb and Suzanne, you are great!

I want to congratulate you two on the best video you have produced so far, IMHO. The QM2 just blew me away. I've seen pictures of cruises my parents took, but this is a whole other level. The size, elegance, food, and sheer plethora of activities is amazing. I enjoyed seeing you take advantage of what the ship has to offer. My wife, as a dog lover, took offense at the dogs needing to be kennelled and only getting to see them at designated times. My response was, "Well, if we ever go on this cruise, we'll leave Coco at home." Her reply was too profane to post here, but it amounted to was she'd take Coco and leave me at home. Lol Anyway, it was a pleasure taking this virtual cruise with you. And, congratulations on 100 million views. That's a well deserved honor.

Personally I'd leave the dogs at home too, get a house-sitter they're free. I've been on boats where the animals are locked up and they are not happy campers, they are out of their familiar surrounding and you aren't there, that's stress on a plate for you all. The only reason you would take your animal is because of guilt...besides do you want your dog crapping all over the deck when people are paying thousands for their trip and what do YOU do with the poo bags?? If you weren't an animal lover would you want to pay for a room with dog hair in it? maybe take a car trip instead then you can take your pets.

Thank you sooooo much for this video you both made on this cruise!!! First off, you are married and not playing house! Then your narration is sooooo perfect, better than ANY other channel, no kidding! You have the knack, yes the knack for some humor! I can't express it more fully! First I watched every train episode and other persons that attempt in copying you both fall way short and are boring and their narration is, I'll say......is garbage. You have the ability to be in a roommate on Amtrak and still make it a thrill!!! No wonder you and Susan have millions of viewers! But back to the cruise, I can't believe how professional your cruise video? I'm going to watch it again today!!! Please keep up all your work on all videos, yes even the jet plane shows! Keep it up, you both deserve it, and I'll share your experiences with others!!! ❤🎉😘🤸💫💫🌟👏👏👏👏

Spectacular video … y’all really outdid ourselves on this one. The video editing around the arrival into New York was especially stunning. And I’m really glad that around 24:30, you called out the question that was probably on the minds of a lot of viewers. When I think transatlantic ocean voyage, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Titanic. So it’s good to hear that the journey is much safer now than it would have been in 1912.

I am hoping to see even more cruise ship videos in the future on other cruise lines! The diversity in your travel content is simply the best. Safe travels to wherever the next destination is and Bon Voyage!

I'm all about slow travel. Your body can't adjust to air travel. Hey, I am retired, so why not enjoy the journey. To truly experience a place you have to walk through. I know that is not an option for trans ocean travel, but from my experience walking really connects you to your surroundings. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. Safe travels.

That was EPIC. You guys are both so humble about it even though you're living like a king and queen and I do love that about your channel. Hearing this reminded me of my first cruise a few years ago. The ship layout, the food, the pools. Definitely brings back memories. Hopefully someday I'll be back on another fancy cruise ship. Great video!

It’s also good to mention they charge you a daily gratuity depending on which stateroom you have, this can add up. You can actually opt out of this and pay any gratuities direct to the members of staff at your discretion.

Glad you both enjoyed the QM2 experience. I did the trip in December 2016 and will never forget the sailing into NYC in the very early morning. My crossing was very rough for a few days but this just added to the experience. Luckily I didn't have a ticking Clock in my room ... it would have driven me crazy. I have travelled on all 3 Cunard Ships but the QM2 is my clear favourite. Next year the Queen Anne has its inaugural sailing, wont make that trip but hopefully be on Her a few months later. ps, we pronounce it Gala not gayla 😉 Til next time 😀

We have a high point here with this very elegant evening dress with the jewel neckline. Brava! Just stunning. Perfect choice.

I crossed the Atlantic from England to US in June, 1967 on theoriginal R.S QUEEN MARY. It was her lasthear in service before she became a hotel in LongBeach, CA. WHAT A TRIP WE HAD IN 1967! A never to be forgotten, once in a lifetime EVENT. It took 5 days and the food was almost never ending. Fond memories... Thanks for the excellent videos! Now that you have your "sea legs" .... PLEASE DO ANOTHER CROSSING ON QM2!!!

I have binge watched a lot of your videos recently Jeb and find your positivity utterly contagious. You are a great narrator and I feel so relaxed watching your videos. I would be definitely be a fan of you guys doing more cruises. I think the thing about both the train trips and the boat cruises is that it gives you more opportunities to be in the same room at same time where you bounce off each other so well.
