    Just so you all know: 3:55 - He says he sailed on the Mauritania in 1954 4:01 - That is the Mauritania with four funnels, but was scrapped in 1935. The Mauritania he mentions was another ship with two funnels that was built in 1938 and was scrapped in 1965.

    I see her speed is mentioned in this video, but Cunard has slowed her down in order to save fuel. The QM2 was designed as a '6-day boat' crossing the N Atlantic in 6-days w/an average speed of around 25-26 knots. The previous Queens were '5-day boats' w/an average cruising speed of 28.5 knots. QM2 did the 6-day crossing the first years of service but now has been slowed down w/the crossing now taking 7-days. The days of the speedy Queen liner is over.

    It still is the largest ocean liner, I think. Royal Caribbean's ships which are indeed the biggest in the world, are, however, considered cruise ships, whereas QM2 is an ocean liner, there are some significant differences between the 2 types regarding speed, strength, fuel consumption and general layout, although QM2 is also used to cruising purposes.

    The normal amount of passengers QM2 carries is about 2,500 while the maximum number of passengers is 3,000. Additionally, she carries about 1,200 crew during regular service. The ship is plenty big to accommodate this many people comfortably. In fact, most major passenger ships of the same size of QM2 carry more passengers than she does.

    She also can't use some of the docks that other ships can use because of the azipods mounted under the hull docks. This causes her to require deeper water to dock. We docked in Grenada some years back. Our ship used the dock and we went down the gang plank and we were on our way. The QM2 had to moor out in the bay. The passengers had to use the ship's tenders to go from the ship to shore and back.

Once in London all my shit is taken off the QM2..bc I will have regular clothes and shoes, all my prescription meds, my Drivers license, and most importantly MY GOLF CLUBS. I would have my return voyage set for 3 weeks later. I would rent a London hotel room for a few days. That way I can set up my "golf orgy" criteria..lol! After seeing London and surrounding areas (the Marshall Amplifier Co. for instance) Then eat the local food and drink the local beer! Then it would be off to Scotland for 3-4 days to play some real links golf!! Then it's off to Ireland for quite a few days!! Land of my ancestors! Play lots of golf, eat lots of Irish food, drink lots of Irish beer...and perhaps "hook up" with a couple of red haired beautiful Irish lasses!! Then back to London in time to catch my boat back to NYC! My dream would be be to take my best golfing buddy, my 33 year old Son with me to enjoy a trip to the homeland together!! I'm just dreaming out loud. I think the key would be to take the QM2 and just enjoy the trip!!. That's my bucket list!

    QM2 is a great ship. Been on her three times (one eastbound Transatlantic that departed from the traditional New York City piers). Sailed on QE2 3-times and that ship was faster, doing the crossing in 5-days at 28.5 knots. The QM2 has a maximum speed of 30 knots and her original service speed was intended to be 25-26 knots for the 6-day crossing, As posted, Carnival Corp USA has slowed the ship down to save fuel and the crossings now take 7-8 days-far to long for me!

    just a correction on the documentary: 4:00 that's a video of the wrong RMS Mauretania. There were two of them. The first one, the more famous one, was launched in 1906 and scrapped in 1935. The second one was launched in 1938 and broken down in 1965. You're showing a video of the original Mauretania. However, since he sailed to America in 1954, Micky must have boarded the second one as the original one had been scrapped 19 years earlier. but the mix up is understandable; both ships do share the exact same name.

    I expect this has been said sometime ago, but there was a bit of history they got wrong. Micky Arison mentioned coming to America as a child aboard the Mauretania. The ship that appeared the screen was incorrect. They showed the first Mauretania entered service in 1907 and was scrapped in 1937 just before Queen Mary took her place. Micky's ship was commonly known as second Mauretania and did sail in the 50s and beyond. She was built before WWII and served during war as a troopship before turning to passenger service. An old friend of mine noted that his father had gone to Europe with the army aboard 2nd Mauretania. I would usually expect better curatorial work from Nat Geo.

    Given the over-engineering involved here, one has to wonder whether the QM2's sister ships: the Queen Victoria and the Queen Elizabeth, neither of them true ocean liners (being based on the generic, vastly cheaper, Vista class cruise ships) are able to cross the North Atlantic safely. I realise the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria have extra plating on their bows, but still.

    I could be wrong so take this with a pinch of salt and feel free to correct me but it seems like they were referring to when the airliners were initially taking over the business from the sealiners. The thing to understand is that the old turboJET engined airliners back then were less efficient than the new turboFAN engined planes of today. that is why most airliners today can get away with just packing us like sardines and shipping us in 7 hours compared to back then when the old airliners were practically mini flying sealiners in terms of amenities and comfort.

    But "Queen Mary II" would mean it was named for Queen Mary the Second of the "William and Mary" reign in the 1600's (or possibly Mary Queen of Scots, but let's not go down that rabbit hole). The Arabic "2" means it's the second SHIP, named after the same namesake -- Mary of Teck, consort of King George V.

    The largest ship I've ever been on is the ferry between Galveston, TX and Bolivar peninsular. There are some great views of the dolphins, seagulls, a rusting lighthouse, and the WWI concrete ship that sank on her maiden voyage. Oh wait, there is a WW2 submarine and a WW2 destroyer escort, moored in sand and rusting to pieces to view. Oh yes, let's not forget the tuberculosis "lepers colony" on the same island as the war memorial's rusting hulks. In the distance, there is the romantic view of the Texas City refineries, home of the great "Texas City Disaster" of the late 1940's in which almost 1,000 people were killed: The greatest industrial disaster in American history. I grew up here, that's why I know.

I am someone who needs a lot of quite alone time and I never found it hard to find a beautiful and quite place to be by myself for several hours a day. no one spends time in the bedroom unless they are changing or sleeping. spending all your time in the cabin WOULD be a massive wast of money.
