Such a Grand Lady! We sailed on her in October, 2004. This was a very special cruise as my husband emigrated to Canada on the original QM in 1951, as a very wee boy.
@@campbell9091 you say immigrate when you talk about going to a country. And you say emigrate when you talk about leaving a country. Since Canada was the country he was going to, he immigrated to Canada, and he emigrated from whatever country he was from. But you never “emigrate to” a country
Yes she us a "Grand Lady of the North Atlantic." The biggest Ocean Liner in the world that can handle the tough North Atlantic" (She's no cruise ship) She is one of the last Ocean Liners & the worlds largest.
shes the last Ocean liner to serve for the public, as an Ocean liner, most Ocean liners that had existed for well over 50 years are now serving as cruise ships
I still love this ship, very happy times spent on her, I think maybe cabins need updating again, she is special. I loved going across to New York and Asia on her
Nautical Study: The QM2 may be technically a "OCEAN LINER" but she still looks more like a cruise ship. High Decks, no rudder, no traditional propellers system. I HATE THAT!!!!! She does NOT have the graceful looks of a traditional trans-atlantic ocean liner.
@@herondelatorre4023 unfortunately, the demands of her guests are what have dictated her design, just as the requirements of passengers decided how the ocean liners of old were built. She is still a grand ship and the closest a person can get to experiencing the great transatlantic crossings over the ocean
I hope that they update the heating, air conditioning and air filtration systems to keep the air clean and Covad free as it circulates in the cabins and main rooms.
They say , naively that it is a Liner ! Its not . I wouldnt go on the thing again if it were in the river estuary . A force 4 in Biscay sent the ship into a virtual somersault Captain s warning of rolling and pitching badly scarred half to death most unlike QE2 when in same area in a force 8 , I had to go to the side of the ship to see if it was till moving , as it was so steady. If I could wave a magic wand, Dubaii would re introduce QE2 to seagoing service tomorrow. and this maritime abortion could be packed off to Alang
What ever happened to the beautiful lines of the Ocean liners of yesteryear? Taken away and made into a ship that resembles a floating ant farm....Shame on them!
Unfortunately, it’s the passenger demands which have shaped the design of passenger vessels since the days of the classic ocean liner, and this is how those demands have been met, while still preserving the ocean liner design
in order for a true oceanliner to be profitable in a modern market, they must have modern amenities found on most passenger vessels (cruise ships) such as balconies, etc to be profitable. Anyone who thinks a liner should look like ones of old has their heads in the clouds. It is for the sole reason of profitability and competition in a modern market, that makes it necessary for Oceanliners in today’s world to have balconies
Yes I know progress has produced a more efficient ship for the cruise line to operate rather than the ship the passengers loved in QE2 and this monster ticks most of the boxes ... but not for me . I had a dreadful time on the thing . I am a boat builder and honestly was staggered when I looked at the poor quality of the welding around the Constanzi stern that must have been carried out by a monkey. The illfitting fake stern end to try and make it look like QE2 was about 12 inches on the skew . In every other respect I was disappointed when compared to QE2 , accomodation, food , internal arrangements and dont even ask about the foul Kings court cafe . surly staff , and absolutely abysmil sea keeping qualities that couldnt keep up with QE2 even if that ship just went on impulse engines only . qm2 is more than half way through its life and good riddance when its gone to Alang

Absolutely amazing ❤️ What a beautiful princess of the seas. I pray that she will run in still 30/40 years and that she never be scrapped.
I agree I wanna see it in reality
I pray for 128928989992 billion centuries

Immigrated. Not emigrated
@@francescogorbechov4192 Wrong oh pedantic one. He emigrated from his home country to Canada.

It is not a cruise ship it’s an ocean liner
Yes she us a "Grand Lady of the North Atlantic." The biggest Ocean Liner in the world that can handle the tough North Atlantic" (She's no cruise ship) She is one of the last Ocean Liners & the worlds largest.
She’s the only one in service Queen Mary and queen Elizabeth 2 are hotels and United states Is rotting away in Philadelphia
shes the last Ocean liner to serve for the public, as an Ocean liner, most Ocean liners that had existed for well over 50 years are now serving as cruise ships
Drydocks are insane. Thousands of workers. Cutting, welding, painting and refurbishing everywhere.
I still love this ship, very happy times spent on her, I think maybe cabins need updating again, she is special. I loved going across to New York and Asia on her
Such a magical ship! The Queen Mary 2 stole my heart
My wife and I sail on 9/11/23 a transatlantic voyage looking forward to the trip for my 70th birthday 🍾
On the top of our list & yes at our opinion must be the best ‘luxery by simplicity ‘ 🤗🙏👌
I can't believe that this is the last Ocean liner in the world
I hope there are more ocean liners today
What about the Queen Elizabeth?
one retired, one is a cruise ship
Wow that's amazing and I'm only building a 3 ft QM2... Great video 👍⚓
thats what they need to do with the old Queen Mary sitting at long beach.
She deserves more than a refit
@@wilmarallensilva6746 More? You mean like a Repurpousing?
@@rainerm490 what's that
The queen Mary in Long Beach is too unstable to be put into a dry dock as of right now.
Nearest drydock to accommodate Queen Mary is in San Diego... engineers have said she wouldn't survive the tow
THE QUEEN MARY IS NOT A CRUISE SHIP, IT IS AN OCEAN LINER
Nautical Study: The QM2 may be technically a "OCEAN LINER" but she still looks more like a cruise ship. High Decks, no rudder, no traditional propellers system. I HATE THAT!!!!! She does NOT have the graceful looks of a traditional trans-atlantic ocean liner.
Interesting! Just looking up the difference now. Thanks for the heads up!
@@herondelatorre4023 she is an ocean liner. Her bow isn’t that a cruise ship. She’s designed to take much more stress than cruise ships.
@@herondelatorre4023 i dont think a cruise ship would have that kind of bow you know
@@herondelatorre4023 unfortunately, the demands of her guests are what have dictated her design, just as the requirements of passengers decided how the ocean liners of old were built. She is still a grand ship and the closest a person can get to experiencing the great transatlantic crossings over the ocean
cool seeing other cruise ships like the costa
She is not a cruise ship.
@@magicaleditz i was talking about in the background did not say the qm2 was a cruise ship
Queen Mary 2:Help dont kidnap me ToT
Thank you for sharing info
I love this video!
I hope the Rms Queen Mary too
Where were the LifeBoats the whole time?!?! Im crying when i looked the Way…. They took Them off 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wish I was on that ship
I need to sail on her someday
Fantastique 👍👍
Happening so quick I couldnt figure if they were spray painting or using rollers.
Isn't the QM2 due for another dry dock?
Yes she’s now on Brest,France at Damen shipyard.
Something wrong with her?
@@emilholmsten8600 No, she is just in dry dock because she has been sitting anchored off of Torbay. So she is getting new paints and other stuff
Now back at Southampton after drydocking at Brest.
She will return to operations in November now.
HOW DARE THEY TO PULL THAT IN BACKWARDS 😭😭😭
I have that as model…
Impresionante
The LifeBoats 😭😭
I thought it was in Brest, France the other day?
It was yes, the vid is from her 2016 dry docking.
She's alongside at Southampton now having returned from the Brest 21 dry docking.
How much would the extra works add to the ships weight?
I would not like seeing them massive propellers underwater.
2:58 aidaprima 😂😂😂in background
Great 👍
I would like to know the cost for this🙏 anyone have an idea?
2:40 why are the lifeboats left there open… alone…. NOW ITS RAINING.. INSIDE IT
Is this now or a few years ago?
😲🙌 genial
HOW VERYCOOOOOOOL
Earl Schieb would have done that for $399.99, No Ups, No Extras.
oh so i like it

I hope that they update the heating, air conditioning and air filtration systems to keep the air clean and Covad free as it circulates in the cabins and main rooms.
Were are the docks at?
Hamburg.
