My son join this beautifull queen mary 2 voyage just yesterday on Sept 15 2024 , n now he's sailing from southhampton to newyork ,hope he's enjoy the job for this first contract😊

Such a different, beautiful QM2 video with great music. We've watched a bunch in our research for a now booked QM2 transAtlantic voyage, and this is one of the best. It is unusual in emphasizing the views OFF the ship as well as on, watching NYC recede and Southampton appear, watching the ship's wake and the waves on the sides, excellent photography of the birds nearby, just super. This video catches and presents one of the KEY reasons we chose this voyage as our first ever "cruise," a week's worth of sea days watching the ocean go by and relaxing. Unlike other ships and cruise lines, no climbing walls, no zip lines, no water slides, no 5-6,000 cruisers jamming hallways, no thank you!! And I don't know of a better way to adjust to the time difference with the UK before proceeding on our vacation there - super relaxing. Thanks so much.

What a wonderful ship, thanks for the tour Rob, and the journey along the way. 😊💕

[@garymiles484]

We were on the May 1st voyage from NYC to Southampton. It was our first ever translantic crossing on Cunard and our first time ever on a ship. It was a fantastic experience and has opened up a new way to travel for us.

[@Horizon344]

Well filmed, conveyed the atmosphere of the ocean passage well, thx

[@DerpyPossum]

Stepping back in time without ever leaving the present. Looks to be a beautiful experience 👍

[@gillianfahey6464]

Looks like you had plenty of space to yourself ..What was the food like .. did you get to talk to others on there? Thanks Rob for sharing this once (?) in a lifetime experience with us

[@Edgetravelguy]

That was a lovely video...........really enjoyed watching it

[@mariegilliland2843]

Loving watching your travels. Thanks for taking us on your journey

[@Kaidhicksii]

Perhaps the most peaceful video I've ever seen aboard the best ship in the world. 😌💐👌 Have fun in Europe and hope your following vids are just as nice!

[@ajs11201]

At 2:10, that's an important reminder that even in the dog days of August, the mid-Atlantic can be cold! No matter how hot back home, be sure to take some sweaters (jumpers) and jackets with you.

[@ryanr1701]

Came across your post while researching ahead of an upcoming westbound crossing aboard QM2. This is a lifetime dream trip and you renewed my excitement. Definitely earned a follow!

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Ryan Ridolfo thanks indeed mate!

[@ryanr1701]

@@walkaboutwithrob Following up after the trip. Queen Mary 2 was lovely-the food was excellent even if the weather wasn’t. Thanks again for this video. Safe travels!

[@michaelwhalen2469]

Wow ! What a beautiful professionally produced video !! The Camera work, lighting and colors all first rate !!! You even picked up the beautiful wood grains and textures of the wood paneling!! Congratulations Rob !! Is your middle name Spielberg? The QM2 is a magnificent elegant ocean liner ! Traveling QM2 transatlantic again next year. It seems we are now dealing with a generation of people who just nitpick and complain about every little thing !!! They need to grow up and get a backbone. Try enjoying life folks , it goes by quickly !! The spa is closed, deal with it ! The bread on your sandwich is a little dry .? Whatever! Life isn’t always perfect. It’s not meant to be. Everything can’t be the way you want it on a cruise !!! I’m glad to see you enjoy your voyage Rob !! Thanks again for a beautiful classy video ! 👍❤️🇬🇧 MikeW.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Michael Whalen thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. Enjoy your latest trip on the QM2!

[@mickyday2008]

This is a voyage not a cruise. I did it the opposite direction. Loved it.

[@dranthappens]

How are you not getting more views, this stuff is amazing

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Just Driving yes it would be nice to get more views... Will just have to try harder!

[@tifan1980]

A really nice video with very beautifull images ! I will sail on the Queen Mary 2 for the 1st time in a month today ! :-)

[@MT-em1fz]

Hi, just read your comment. Do you go on the 29th May? As I am too! My first time on the QM2 or any ship for that matter.

[@tifan1980]

@@MT-em1fz Yes, frist time for me too on the QM2 and my longest trip on a ship! I'm sure we will have a wonderfull time onboard !

Lovely voyage love arriving in Southampton have done many times on many ships. Greetings from Sydney

[@muhammaddaniyalrashid9463]

Dang i wanna do this

[@wendybrealey8368]

Brilliant thanks and lovely choice of backing music. Especially enjoyed it as not something this seasickness prone lass is likely to do. Had to laugh near the end as the ship coming out of Southampton, Wallenius Willhelmson or some such, is the same ship we spotted off Caloundra a few weeks ago with friends and were arguing over the spelling (comparing our long distance eyesight) so looked the name up! Or they have a few branded with the same co name.

[@kaamkmca]

Lovely video. A bit lonely leaving the ship!

[@shellebelle53]

I have to admit it looks lovely...and even though I have my recreational marine licence, have been deep sea fishing, loved water skiing and love being on the water, this still freaks me out 😅

[@gingernightmare9152]

Lovely video. Thanks for not using terrible music. Going TA on QM2 in Aug 22. 🐠🐟🏴‍☠️

[@JiipHoep]

was it nice?

Nice! very relaxing

Fine,whatever 🤣mood!?! Lol did u get badgered to show off the boat?perfect music accompaniment xx

@Adele Wall actually the title was an accident. I was just writing different titles and let this temporary one stay, but then forgot to change it.

[@catrinlewis939]

@@walkaboutwithrob Coming up with titles is the worst. Almost as bad as having to generate a new password. LOL

Ghost ship , looks like your the only one there, must have been a surreal experience.

Hi done this trip 2009.looks a bit deserted.my trip very busy new york to southhampton

[@Bejaminagai]

Where is everyone?

[@catrinlewis939]

When did you sail? Looks like you had brilliant weather, if a little nippy. I'm hoping for mostly that next December, with a nice rollicking storm thrown in.

[@ajs11201]

That's the transatlantic crossing from Brooklyn, NY to Southampton. It takes about seven days, and it's generally a week of bliss and pampering.

[@JiipHoep]

me too bro.

[@ShoaibKhan-wv8zc]

good thing it didnt hit any icebergs

[@nyimbiri]

Whats thr duration from Southampton to New York? How much?

[@BennaxYT]

Bro's repeating titanic voyage💀

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Bennax well it didn't sink, so not really a repeat.

[@deniseturtle9977]

plus it kinda made it further along, didnt it @@walkaboutwithrob

[@TsaGo_1912]

Titanic was sailing west, on this voyage QM2 was sailing east. And Titanic didn't make a single transatlantic crossing, but QM2 will finish her 401th Transatlantic Crossing tomorrow 😊

[@FrothNinja]

Are you heading toward England's north west at all?

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@FrothNinja absolutely! Many places there I would like to visit.

[@FrothNinja]

@@walkaboutwithrob Cool - not sure what your itinerary is like, but I could help if you want to visit some more esoteric historic sites. I am an archaeologist raised in Bris and happy to help if I can - also pretty good on the natural history & geology.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@FrothNinja thanks indeed. My itinerary is open and will go where the road takes me. I have an extensive list of places to visit all over the UK, and at the time of writing am in Amesbury, about to re-visit the Stonehenge ritual landscape. I was last here 30 years ago. Are you now UK based?

[@FrothNinja]

@@walkaboutwithrob If you get a chance squeeze in a visit to the parish church (medieval graffiti amongst other things), Wood Henge, and Durrington Walls. These are quite easy to get to on foot from Amesbury. There are other earthen gems in the area including the huge burial mounds on King Barrow Ridge (original approach to Stonehenge was from there) and the Cursus

[@FrothNinja]

@@walkaboutwithrob Yes, I live near Pendle - which is the English equivalent of Salem in most people's eyes

[@guanacocruz765]

Is it expensive?

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@guanaco Cruz it depends on what cabin you want. I can't remember the actual cost but it was cheaper than I imagined. Contact your local travel agent and see what they say 😃

[@guanacocruz765]

@@walkaboutwithrob gracias 🤩 for the reply

[@ajs11201]

That's a relative question. Naturally, your personal budget will provide an enormous part of that answer. However, realize that you're essentially staying in a luxury hotel with all food and entertainment provided for a week. I'd posit that it's less expensive than staying at a luxury hotel for a week--especially when you factor in all of your entertainment (there's TONS of it!) and more food than you can possibly consume.

[@Ultramannoa5661]

Titanic...

[@walkaboutwithrob]

I don’t see the connection

[@TsaGo_1912]

The Titanic was an Ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2 is an Ocean liner. Both ships are built to cross the Ocean. And the QM2 definitely keeps the traditions of the old Ocean liners alive. But the QM2 is built almost 100 years later, three times bigger, faster and obviously a modern Ocean liner from the 21st century. The Titanic didn't make a single Transatlantic Crossing. The QM2 will finish her 401th Transatlantic Crossing tomorrow 😊

[@tfung8]

The ship is getting old and boring for all 3 ships. Just came back from 16 days Cunard. It degraded a lot. food quality and quantity BAD, no lobster. especially at the Lido. Super short handed. It is at the Carnival cruise style. No dance host, no queens room Hostess, no sequence dance, no professional dancer exhibition, 8 kids running around in the dance floor while dancing, etc. will not recommend for this price (we are Diamond on Cunard, not a newbie)

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Probably best to just sell your percentage ownership in Cunard. Should be a few Russian Oligarchs on the lookout for a weekend cruiser that the Western pirates aren't likely to board with drawn cutlasses. 🤔🤪

[@TsaGo_1912]

I'm _only_ a gold member, I finished my last voyage on QM2 some weeks ago and I can't wait to go on board of her again. (My voyage was also 16 days long) There is no better ship in this world😊 I don't think, there is a way to make a _diamond member_ like you happy, you just forgot to recognise the good things.
