Queen Mary 2 - Complete Full HD Tour of the Cunard ocean liner QM2!

[@jus10lewissr]

I have zero desire to step aboard a cruise ship but an ocean liner? Absolutely.

[@colinmoon4342]

Beautiful ship. 13 trips no far and she’s never disappoints. She also looks like a ‘proper ship’ as opposed to a floating block of flats.

[@baritonebynight]

I first sailed on her when returning from Europe last summer as I loathe and detest flying. The day before we arrived in New York, I didn't want to crossing to end and I bought two additional crossings before I left the ship. I will be studying in Europe again this summer and will be going both directions this time.....as far as I'm concerned ..its the only way to comfortably cross the Atlantic.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Way to beat jet lag too! So much nicer to gain or lose an hour each day.

[@RCKodak]

An absolutely gorgeous ship

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

I agree!

[@cruises_only_thanks]

Woahh Crhis! This was the tour we've all been waiting for! Thank you. Keep them coming!

[@EmmaCruises]

Loved my little time on QM2! I hope to do a transatlantic on her one day. ❤🎉

[@truthandlife4101]

2009 I sailed and now so glad it was a 23 night cruise as there is so much to do . I traveled with young children cheapest way on and we spent a lot of time on deck and my daughter said it was the best food she has ever eaten loved getting dressed up in formals and my 9 year old son looked so lovely in suit and bow tie, something that is not seen much now. My children dined with me not in a kids club with was great. Thank you for bringing back memories. God bless.

[@JulieWallis1963]

I took my grandchildren on a Disney cruise last year and he wore a suit and bow tie too. He was so cute (age 7) and felt very grown up. His sister wore a bridesmaid dress, we loved our formal night. I did make a small video of our trip. Nothing like this though 😊

[@truthandlife4101]

@@JulieWallis1963 Having the children dressed up at the dinner table eating of the adult menu not kids food. Any cruise or ship is great the QM was so cheap then sailing out of Australia due to our dollar being almost equal to US. Australia was more expensive. Happy cruising.

Great video tour of QM2. We did our first transatlantic on board the new QM2 in 2004 which departed from the Manhattan passenger piers at that time. That crossing was 6-days compared to the 5-day crossing I did several times onboard QE2. QM2 is a splendid liner with so many amenities to enjoy on a transatlantic crossing.

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

5 days - the speed must have been superb!!

Well done. My brother and his husband got off today from the East bound crossing. Rough but fun they said. Thanks for sharing this. It was a wonderful whirlwind and loved the extra adjectives 😎

[@Sanjaygupta01]

A much better looking ship than sympathy of the seas

[@MultiMattman68]

I never sailed a true ocean liner,until we sailed the QM2 back in 2004 when she was brand new. We did an 8 day Caribbean cruise from New York,what a ship. I can imagine how nice the ship is now that she has been remastered

[@JulieWallis1963]

My husband and we’re booked for a transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2 for December 2020. Obviously Covid put pay to that. I don’t know when we will get on her now, we are looking at 2024 , as 2023 we already have another Caribbean cruise booked and 2024 is a significant wedding anniversary. Fingers crossed that we get onboard her then. She’s such a magnificent ship.

I'm Panamanian but I still wish to visit the Queen Mary 2!

[@22morse77]

Thank you Chris. We look forward to joining one of your lectures ob a Cunard voyage. Considering QMII in Spring 2024 Further considering a QSG cabin on Deck 9 though the record just scratched while viewing this video. The Churchill Cigar Lounge would be 4 cabins Aft of the Churchills and the CC. Here is my concern with this Cabin location - we are NOT a smoking folk. Does the Cabin corridor connect to Churchills? I cannot imagine the cigar smoke not wafting down the corridor. What say ye kind Sir?

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Greetings from 40,000ft over the southern ocean! Churchills opens into the Commodore Club. The corridor does link into the lounge at that area but I don’t recall a cigar smell in the cabin corridor - however I’d say to be extra sure perhaps choose one a bit further aft?

[@22morse77]

@@ChrisFrameOfficial many thanks your swift reply. Safe Travels

[@derekheeps8012]

A fine tour of the public areas of the ship - however many would be interested to see The Bridge , the Engine Room , the Hospital , the kitchens and some other areas not normally seen by the public . The hospital would be of particular interest to me because , my partner and I were due to sail on the QE2 not long before she left service ( the occasion was my 50th birthday in January 2008 , but just shortly before this , we were pleasantly surprised to discover that Jane was expecting our son Harris ; we were not initially concerned , because harris was not due until a couple of months after the cruise , but on mentioning it to the agent , we were told that jane would not be permitted to travel at an advanced stage of pregnancy ! Why , we asked , does the ship not have a fully equipped hospital , and doctors on board who are surely well versed in the not unusual matter of a mother giving birth ? But the agents were adamant , our booking was cancelled , and we received a refund . This was a great disappointment , but Harris was born in a local hospital in July 2008 without any problems and he is now almost 15 . I would love to know whether the hospital on this ship is equipped to cope with such an eventuality , and also whether any children were ever born on board the QE2 or indeed any other Cunard liners ?

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Hello, so far as I’m aware QE2 had a fully equipped hospital, with staff of doctors and nurses and even an OT, able to accommodate nearly every medical issue that may arise. You’ll often find that cruise lines and airlines have rules around reducing risk for pregnancy, as if there was a complication that required specialised neonatal care, the ship could be a long way from land and winching mother and baby into a helicopter doesn’t seem to be a very safe option. This is just my understanding of the situation and I’m not a doctor so can’t be 100% sure, but I’d say that’s why. There’s some great info about QE2’s medical facilities on The QE2 Story Forum at www.theqe2story.com/forum

[@joanfreestone1707]

I recently watched a video about QM2 and the presenter was very confused by the layout on board. He said it was difficult to navigate all the corridors to get to where he was going. For instance, he said that to access the card room, he had to walk through a public toilet! Is this right, Chris? I love the look of the ship and would love to sail on her.

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Hi Joan. I’ve never had to walk though a public toilet to access any of QM2’s passenger spaces. The ships layout is different, but I actually don’t find it confusing at all. Perhaps it’s because I’m so familiar with the ship. The Card Room is the Atlantic Room and there’s no public toilet between the entry and the corridor 😉

[@joanfreestone1707]

[@davidjfraser]

Hola Chris, Enjoyed your video, the main reason for watching was to gain some insight into the layout of the ship as my wife and I will be sailing on her the latter part of August, east bound to Southampton, but did miss a possible explanation of ships systems, propulsion, generation, hotel services etc. As a maritime author, lecturer and writer I would liked to have heard some correct ship terminology. Ceiling is a deckhead, walls are bulkheads, I think you get my gist. By all means explain the word when first used in a video, for the benefit of the landlubbers, then continue with the correct terms. Trust you will not mind my comments, they are meant as constructive, as I believe it will add more authenticity to your narrative. David F

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Thanks David. The commentary of the tours was written to be 100% accessible, but you make a fair point and I’ll take it ‘on board’ for the future 👍

[@suze816]

Fascinating !.. I would have liked at least a brief tour of the Bridge, however.

I hope the new Photogrammetry 3D scanning technology matures (such as the Unreal Engine 5 stuff) so it would be possible for someone to take a detailed 3D scan of the interior using only a cell phone - would be really interesting to compare this ship with the fantastic UE5 model of Titanic where you can explore about half the ship - to see where we have come in 100 years. On the Titanic you can really see how cramped a lot of it is an how spacious QM2 looks in comparison - I wonder if we'll be saying the same thing in 100 years about a possible QE3?

[@shirleysmith3904]

Great video which I really enjoyed but why oh why isn't this magnificent ship doing a World Cruise in 2025?

[@MaryMurphy-wi9kq]

What is the cost

[@watchtellyinuk]

At 3:00 you should mention guest check the panels for hidden surprises. I will NEVER understand WHY a ship needs a planetarium! It's the FIRST and LAST at sea.

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Ahh but the Planetarium is a great feature and some of the shows they present there are fascinating. It fits into the Cunard Insights quite nicely as when QM2 is mid Atlantic and there’s no light pollution you can really connect with the universe by looking at the night sky. There’s actually a few other ships with Planetarium, including Viking Orion. 🪐 Good point about those panels. Have you found Homer Simpson?

Talking general, ships today look very ugly, and I don’t think all the crazy and organized activities are for me. Everything is too big, too colourfull, too shiny, too much.
