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’m about 10 minutes in, and I’m struck by something I’ve always loved about y’all’s channel: You’re in arguably the most luxurious accommodations in arguably the most luxurious mode of transport in the world, and y’all seem genuinely humbled by the whole thing.
This channel is a co2 blurting godsend.. opulence and what about me. American.. its pollution on TH-cam.. ignores Global warming, let's just pollute the world more .
I think one of the reasons I love your channel is that you guys are authentic. I love that you are 'not fancy', it's relatable. I enjoy that. Thank you guys for always taking us on the journey with you
@@GreenerGrass Thanks for everything 💓, it's good to see you happy. I have been to Southampton and has seen some ships. I pray to God that every good person should get a chance to live a marry life.
@@GreenerGrassI am fellow North Carolinian here I been watching your channel for very long time I do like it a lot gives me a break from life for a little while congratulations on making the best videos
Had tears in my eyes when you crossed under the Verranzos bridge which I did on the Stockholm in 1956 as a 9 year old with my family. Still here at 76. 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.
Construction of the Verrazano did not start until Aug 13, 1959, and not opened until Nov 21, 2964. You could not possibly have passed under the bridge in 1956.
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.
For financial reasons, Jeb and Suzanne's next trip will be a recreation of Miles and Aleena's trip from Boston to Seattle on Greyhound. It will also take eight days.
I never did thank Jeb for literally curing my fear of flying. I had to fly to Australia for work (24 hours from UK) and was utterly paralysed with fear weeks beforehand. I ended up mainlining Jeb Brooks almost endlessly, watching all his hundreds of flights pass by peacefully, and when the day came it all went absolutely fine. A fantastic TH-cam channel.
Not just a ship, this is a legend a living being. As an Ocean liner QM2 honours the Titanic and her sisters, we will never forget. This is a vessel, a workhorse, made to battle the North Atlantic. Not a floating village, this is the real deal. Just discovered your channel, love it thnx!
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.
There are other mass market ocean sailing cruise ships that do transatlanic crossings. But they are only in Spring and Fall when repositioning the ships for the season.
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.
I've never had much interest in trying a typical cruise ship, but definitely count me in for this trans-Atlantic experience on the QM2. Awesome and classy!
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 TH-cam, 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!
Great, but Jeb Brooks is better Travel reviewer, There's a reason why DownieLive has 81 Million views with 500+ videos & Jeb Brooks has 112 million views with only 241 videos 😅
Watching the channel grow and evolve has been a fun ride. The editing and the storytelling has become so crisp and so easy to watch. Adding Suzanne, who luckily got over being camera shy, has brought a whole new level of joy to the channel. Great job!
I did countless Trans-Atlantic crossings on QE2 while working onboard in 1987/88. Your wonderful video brought back so many memories. Thank you for posting it and I'll now book a crossing for next year.
I love that you don't feel limited to planes, it makes your channel much more interesting. Planes, ferries, trains - bike trip when? Love the video so far
As most people have already said, I absolutely love how humble and authentic you both are. It makes you relatable and such a joy to watch. You both get to do things most other people can only dream of yet you don't come across as entitled. This is what keeps me coming back and excited for every new video. It doesn't matter if it's about airplanes, trains, busses and now even cruises. It's you guys that make the video. Congratulations on 100 million views, it is so well deserved and thank you for all your hard work you both put into these videos!
Great job Jeb and Ms. Jeb! You captured the splendor of this amazing ship perfectly. My wife and I returned to the USA following an assignment stationed in the east of England. It was my very first cruise and what an outstanding way to move back to the USA. One formal evening we even were invited to share dinner with the Commodore and enjoyed amazing food, great conversations, and after dinner cigars. We can't wait to do it again for our upcoming 30th Anniversary.
Thanks Mr. JB for sharing your experience aboard Queen M2! With this in mind, we hope we would be able to try the transatlantic journey in the near future!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. I know I will never experience the thrills you guys have but being 75 and not being able to travel too much I appreciate all you do to bring us your adventures. Please do not stop as my wife and I are living life through your eyes and experiences through your videos. Paul & Lilli
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.
As someone who spent the first 21 years of life in Manhattan, the entry into the harbor, the passage under the Verrazano Bridge, the sight of lower Manhattan at night, Lady Liberty, and the final stop in Buttermilk Channel brought increasing tears to my eyes. Great video!
As an Ocean Liner enthusiast/Titanic historian/Ship fan/Transportation stuff fan/fan of almost every type of thing like that, Jeb's videos, especially this one are just special to me!
Having done more than 100 Caribbean cruises your video doing a trans-Atlantic was very unique for us. We never sailed the Cunard Trans-Atlantic because we felt it was too class oriented. But in today's venue of regular cruising it too has become more and more class oriented with special areas and lounges etc. Thanks for the insight and adventure. George in NY
Utter humility.... Gratitude.... Thankfulness.... That's what's so great about this channel. Suzzanne and Jeb, take a bow. You guys are absolutely amazing and I wish you both the very best...
I got teary eyed at the beginning seeing how excited yall were to set sail. You're both so deserving of this trip! Absolutely adore how genuine yall are in each video for every experience no matter what it may be. This was one of my favorite videos on the channel even though I'm generally just a aviation and train geek. Thank you both for sharing this journey with us! Suzanne, you looked gorgeous by the way!! Loved all of your dresses
You two have hit the pinnacle with this offering. I feel it shows who you truly are. Real, inviting and genuine. There isn't any artifice seen at all and I think that is why you are such a success. Keep going please. I live vicariously through your travels and wait for the next experience you have to share.
During the great recession, we managed a great deal on a suite on a Caribbean cruise and there was nothing like having a bath on the ocean with a glass (OR BOTTLE) of champange/drink of choice! Can't afford that at regular price and I'd never want another great recession, but it did let us taste the high life! ;) Thank you again for your videos!
Hey guys, I watched this video as my wife’s parents recently did a Southampton to New York trip, then onto the Caribbean on the Queen Mary 2. So it was great to see the tour of the ship, you really did a fantastic job so thanks to both of you…
As an ocean liner enthusiast Cunard especially I am very glad that probably my favorite youtuber for things like planes has traveled on what is now the last ocean liner in service! There are a few still around like the original Queen Mary in Long Beach, California though they've been retired now A few ships that were older Cruise Ships or Ocean Liners are Queen Elizabeth 2 or QE2 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the SS Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
My father worked for Cunard and as a teenager I traveled on the Queen Elisabeth to New York and returned on the Queen Mary, the original, this was in the 60s. Your video brought back such memories and mad me think I would like to do this one more time. Thanks
Oh. My. God. You guys are amazing. You did this trip as good as any aviation review. I truly love how humble you are and you put this together with such a good flow
Your best work yet :) I've seen every video Jeb has made - and what has not changed (at all) is your openness, your humility, and attitude of gratitude.
"We don't do dress up" they said, while looking as elegant and sophisticated as a Hollywood couple on a red carpet night.. 🙂 Great video, love the relaxed, down to Earth and informative video - it's a pleasure to watch you guys!
We have been lucky enough to have made this journey a few times. Absolutely love QM2. Great video, thank you. A couple of things I love on sea days is the captain on the tannoy at midday and the bell being rung at the same time. Also the turn down at night with the chocolates, and lots more 🤗
As a subscriber since 2017 this has to be #1 top video on this channel, this looks like a life changing experience. And Jeb & Suzanne y’all have done incredible at showing each and every notable experience on this journey. Hands down this looks AWESOME and if I eventually scrape up enough money to do this, I will be 100% considering this trip.
You two are absolutely my favorite folks to watch on TH-cam in any genre, not just for transportation, and this video is a perfect example of why!! I was smiling right along with you for the whole 33 minutes. Your excitement and enthusiasm for all of your adventures is contagious, and my travel bucket list has grown exponentially since the first video I saw from this channel. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into sharing these experiences, and congratulations on 100 million views!🎉
My favorite travel vloggers on my favorite ship, perfect. Thanks so much for brining back such wonderful memories for me. I have done this trip twice from New York to Southampton, so quite interesting to see the westbound crossing.
You know I'd never considered an Atlantic Ocean crossing before but you both have sold me on it. The Queen Mary 2 is more amazing than I could have imagined! Your travel videos are some of the very best on TH-cam or Cable TV. You both have a terrific sense of humor. You clearly have a great partnership. You can't fake that. Enjoyed tagging along and watching your adventure! See you on the High Seas!!!
Another great video Jeb & Suzanne! Watching your enthusiasm/excitement at the start of the trip put a big smile on my face. I always thought it would be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience to cross the Atlantic on QM2 (sigh...maybe someday). In the meantime - thanks for sharing the trip with the rest of us! (I was surprised to hear that this was the first time that both of you had ever been on a cruise ship given all the trips that you've done; what an awesome way to be introduced to this kind of travel!). Cheers!
Thank you for taking me along for my first Atlantic crossing, and only one as I'm 93 years old. Next time around I will do it first class like you two did. Wow, how I'd love it... I loved every minute of it - you two are delightful!! ❤
Easily one of my top favorite travel videos to date. You two are so great - infectious enthusiasm and excellent information...just drinking in every possible experience on offer - brilliant. I also appreciate you showing what Great Britain really has to offer in terms of service.... and food! The emotional arrival in New York, you could totally feel it. Thank you sharing and for putting out such awesome high quality content.
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!!! ❤🎉😘🤸💫💫🌟👏👏👏👏
Well done for having captured the true spirit of the transatlantic crossing, a world away from cruising (and flying...). The epitome of maritime experience and tradition, on the only true ocean liner afloat! So much history with Cunard. It's one of life's great journeys.
You guys are cool youtubers ❤️. Absolutely loved this. What a unique experience and for your first ever time on a ship! Congrats for taking us on that adventure. As always love how genuine you guys are. Just full of passion and positivity.
Watching for the second time, we cruise Cunard QE2 Jul1. Britannia Ov balcony. We hesitated for years watching Gary Bembridge and how much he loves Kun art and the Queen’s Grill. I would love to see a average cruise on the cruise. I’d love to see the Britannia section where most cruisers cruise featured on a show by any TH-camr. Hey another cruise right.
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.
Love love love love love love love this program. About the clock 😊 If you remove the battery and replace it at the end of your journey ( peace and quiet 😊😊😊😊😊
I can’t believe you, a world traveler, never cruised before! Cruises are the best. Besides being a fascinating way to travel, the ships themselves are unbelievable technological and engineering feats. You need to add cruising to your channel! So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Keep up the great work!
I have watch numerous shows about different cultures and different modes of transportation. I have to admit I enjoy watching your videos the most. You show the details of your accommodations, and the details of the way you travel. I doubt I will ever personally experience the majority of your trips, but I enjoy listening to your explanations of each one. Thank you for bringing us along as you set out to bring the world to us! Here is to many more adventures! 🍾🍷
Absolutely loved this video. We travelled in a Queens Grill suite from Southampton to Hamburg. Jeb's enthusiasm is infectious and we want to go transatlantic even more after watching this video. ❤😂
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.
Your face when you saw your suite, joyful and full of excitement 😊looked like an amazing trip,I've done the Atlantic many times without seeing any ships for 6 days,weird experience,but exciting to see another ship.
Great video Jeb! What a great experience for you and your wife. You two got to enjoy it all and it’s a lifetime experience for many. Thanks again and look forward to many more of your videos! 😎
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 😀
YES, finally a cruise video! I was hoping y'all would sail on a cruise ship one day. This was a great first choice. 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!
Best Q Mary review seen for a long while - nice honest video my grandad, used to sail Cunards group of ships loved it - most cunard ships have a theme, mary 2 is famous for its art collection, more than 5,000 commissioned works of art in public rooms, corridors, staterooms, - by over 100 artists international artists. Been told library exceptional too. Not done this ship yet done a few like - classic style ships ..
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!
We were laughing at your bloopers when you were trying to slide down the handrail on the stairs, because we did that all the time; I think cuz we're a bit smaller and shorter, it was easier for us to slide down. 😂😂😂😂 We did get some weird looks, but we didn't care, it was fun!!🎉😅
I love it when the TH-cam algorithm makes suggestions. Watching the Statue of Liberty made me cry. My Grandparents came to the US from Italy in the early 1920s and while they didn’t travel this luxuriously, it gave me the feeling of being there with them. You’ve earned a subscriber. Thank you. ❤
Just discovered your Chanel. Really enjoy the non-snobbish, down to earth way you do your videos. The Queen Mary trip just got added to my bucket list.
I really like yout videos, you are always smiling and you really enjoy your travels, even when things don't come out as you would like them to be. You both are so positive. Love you guys, I hope you continue traveling together for years to come.
I've been on 14 cruises including one T/A from N.Y. to Southampton and loved that one especially! We visited the Azores, Scotland and Ireland. Just for future reference, it's a ship, not a boat and it's your cabin, not your room. Glad you had a great time and I agree, a T/A crossing is awesome!
For Suzanne: Besides always enjoying the travel, I also love to see what Suzanne wears on the travels and how she always has the right apparel for the occasion and always looks effortlessly well put together. We have a high point here with this very elegant evening dress with the jewel neckline. Brava! Just stunning. Perfect choice.
Just wanted to congratulate you both on such a milestone! I love this channel, it's so entertaining and informative - so much fun and inspiration! And funnily enough, I'm actually posting this comment from the Cunard Building here in Liverpool!
Love the channel guys. We from New Zealand & had our first trip to NYC in September, your arrival into NY made us want to go back. Keep up the great content.
As the Queen Mary sailed under the Verzanno Bridge, I don't know if it was the glorious music build up, or the time and place or occasion, but I teared up watching this awesome moment! Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure! CHEERS! I truly had chills as the ship passed the Statue of Liberty all lit up...WOW! Thanks again!
Jeb and wife, thank you so much for sharing travel adventures! My wife and I always watch your channel to get an idea of what our future travel will be! Thanks to you both! My wife and I appreciate you and your wife taking the time to edit these videos! 👌🏽
I've been depressed for years. Maybe even a decade. I just started new medicine and seeing a therapist. Things are looking up now. And I have a goal. My goal is to spend two weeks on the Queen Mary 2. I have a purpose. Thanks for this video!
This was amazing!!!!! I loved every minute! More of this type of trip please! Y'all are the cutest couple, you don't complicate life, you just enjoy life and each other.
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!!!
My wife and I took the Queen Mary2 from Ft. Lauderdale to NYC to Southampton. One of the most memorable trips of our lives. On the return we were able to take a sister ship, Queen Elizabeth. We are cruise ship veterans but this was another world.
Suffice it to say, you've set the bar really high by picking the QM2 as your first "cruise" experience. Future cruises will struggle to live up to expectations now, lol.
The QM2 is an 'Ocean Liner' not a cruise ship...But, I get what your sayin, as their first "cruise" anything that follows on 'regular' cruise ships from Royal, Celebrity, Carnival(although Cunard is part of the Carnival Corp family), Etc will be hard pressed to match this one...
Cruise ships don’t appeal to me, but I’d love to sail on a real ocean liner. Books, lectures, dressing up-I’d have to put together an entire vintage/vintage-inspired wardrobe-I’d be in history nerd heaven.

I've stayed on the Queen Mary, also. So much history. Glad you had the opportunity to sail on it. And glad you stayed again. Great story.
WOW that had to be an amazing experience
Oh. My. Wow. My eyes are wet - love your story here.
Wow, the real thing! I'm so glad you got to have the experience of going back and seeing the entire ship.
I’m about 10 minutes in, and I’m struck by something I’ve always loved about y’all’s channel: You’re in arguably the most luxurious accommodations in arguably the most luxurious mode of transport in the world, and y’all seem genuinely humbled by the whole thing.
And that’s why we love them both. Not stuck up in any sense. I can’t stand people like that it’s an instant stop watching.
Behave 😊
This channel is a co2 blurting godsend.. opulence and what about me. American.. its pollution on TH-cam.. ignores Global warming, let's just pollute the world more

Thanks for everything 💓, it's good to see you happy. I have been to Southampton and has seen some ships. I pray to God that every good person should get a chance to live a marry life.

Agree 200% with you. No Sam Chui.
@@GreenerGrassI am fellow North Carolinian here I been watching your channel for very long time I do like it a lot gives me a break from life for a little while congratulations on making the best videos
Had tears in my eyes when you crossed under the Verranzos bridge which I did on the Stockholm in 1956 as a 9 year old with my family. Still here at 76. 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.
Beautiful story
Wow, I assume this is referring to the Swedish-American Liner now called Astoria? Same year she hit and sank the Andrea Doria if so.
Yes this is the same liner that collided with the Andrea Doria
Construction of the Verrazano did not start until Aug 13, 1959, and not opened until Nov 21, 2964. You could not possibly have passed under the bridge in 1956.
@@philipb2134 I'm 76 and stand corrected. Thank you! Erik
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.
What a memory!
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.
Oh yeah? I had a $0.50 pizza slice once in NYC. Granted I found it in the trash but it was still edible.
For financial reasons, Jeb and Suzanne's next trip will be a recreation of Miles and Aleena's trip from Boston to Seattle on Greyhound. It will also take eight days.
😂Lmfaooooo
What is this?! A crossover episode?!
They definitely should do that.
Yessss omg I'd love to see that.
now that is a fun fact
I never did thank Jeb for literally curing my fear of flying. I had to fly to Australia for work (24 hours from UK) and was utterly paralysed with fear weeks beforehand. I ended up mainlining Jeb Brooks almost endlessly, watching all his hundreds of flights pass by peacefully, and when the day came it all went absolutely fine. A fantastic TH-cam channel.
Straight into a 24 hour flight!! 😳
That is so cool that you figured out to do that! I think I'll do the same. 😊
Not just a ship, this is a legend a living being. As an Ocean liner QM2 honours the Titanic and her sisters, we will never forget. This is a vessel, a workhorse, made to battle the North Atlantic. Not a floating village, this is the real deal. Just discovered your channel, love it thnx!

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!

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.
There are other mass market ocean sailing cruise ships that do transatlanic crossings. But they are only in Spring and Fall when repositioning the ships for the season.
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.
I've never had much interest in trying a typical cruise ship, but definitely count me in for this trans-Atlantic experience on the QM2. Awesome and classy!
Same! ❤
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.
Holy. Moly! What an amazing experience! 😊
WOW! What an epic story to tell your children. A marvelous learning experience, to be sure. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
This proves what I‘ve been thinking for a while. You two have to be the best travel reviewers on TH-cam, 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!
Spot on👏
Great, but Jeb Brooks is better Travel reviewer,
There's a reason why DownieLive has 81 Million views with 500+ videos &
Jeb Brooks has 112 million views with only 241 videos 😅
I couldn't have said it better. They're simply "REAL".
Watching the channel grow and evolve has been a fun ride. The editing and the storytelling has become so crisp and so easy to watch. Adding Suzanne, who luckily got over being camera shy, has brought a whole new level of joy to the channel. Great job!
😊okkevin
Im from Nyc been here all my life. I dont know why this made me cry ❤ when you crossed the bridge
I did countless Trans-Atlantic crossings on QE2 while working onboard in 1987/88. Your wonderful video brought back so many memories. Thank you for posting it and I'll now book a crossing for next year.
I love that you don't feel limited to planes, it makes your channel much more interesting.
Planes, ferries, trains - bike trip when?
Love the video so far
Oh they could go to that island in Michigan that doesn't allow cars! (bikes and horses)
Their getting paid a fortune from utube / it’s kind of dishonest In away / slippery and morally not cool / beautiful ship tho 👍
As most people have already said, I absolutely love how humble and authentic you both are. It makes you relatable and such a joy to watch. You both get to do things most other people can only dream of yet you don't come across as entitled. This is what keeps me coming back and excited for every new video. It doesn't matter if it's about airplanes, trains, busses and now even cruises. It's you guys that make the video. Congratulations on 100 million views, it is so well deserved and thank you for all your hard work you both put into these videos!
They were lucky to have a dead calm crossing. I can tell you from experience that crossing the Atlantic is not always fun.
100% your finest video with all your insights and seeing Suzanna so animated and completely comfortable with the filming. Brilliant. Thank you both 😃
Great job Jeb and Ms. Jeb! You captured the splendor of this amazing ship perfectly. My wife and I returned to the USA following an assignment stationed in the east of England. It was my very first cruise and what an outstanding way to move back to the USA. One formal evening we even were invited to share dinner with the Commodore and enjoyed amazing food, great conversations, and after dinner cigars. We can't wait to do it again for our upcoming 30th Anniversary.
Thanks Mr. JB for sharing your experience aboard Queen M2! With this in mind, we hope we would be able to try the transatlantic journey in the near future!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. I know I will never experience the thrills you guys have but being 75 and not being able to travel too much I appreciate all you do to bring us your adventures. Please do not stop as my wife and I are living life through your eyes and experiences through your videos. Paul & Lilli
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.
Sincerely, Benson Stone
It would not be right for dogs to be free to roam the ship, "doing their business'' where they felt like it.
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.
As someone who spent the first 21 years of life in Manhattan, the entry into the harbor, the passage under the Verrazano Bridge, the sight of lower Manhattan at night, Lady Liberty, and the final stop in Buttermilk Channel brought increasing tears to my eyes. Great video!
I am booking a 2025 trip looking forward to it!
It brought tears to my eyes because my 3 year old grandson lives there and I miss my daughter so much.
You can ride the Staten Island Ferry for free and get the same views.
As an Ocean Liner enthusiast/Titanic historian/Ship fan/Transportation stuff fan/fan of almost every type of thing like that, Jeb's videos, especially this one are just special to me!
Having done more than 100 Caribbean cruises your video doing a trans-Atlantic was very unique for us. We never sailed the Cunard Trans-Atlantic because we felt it was too class oriented. But in today's venue of regular cruising it too has become more and more class oriented with special areas and lounges etc. Thanks for the insight and adventure. George in NY
Utter humility.... Gratitude.... Thankfulness.... That's what's so great about this channel. Suzzanne and Jeb, take a bow. You guys are absolutely amazing and I wish you both the very best...
I got teary eyed at the beginning seeing how excited yall were to set sail. You're both so deserving of this trip! Absolutely adore how genuine yall are in each video for every experience no matter what it may be. This was one of my favorite videos on the channel even though I'm generally just a aviation and train geek. Thank you both for sharing this journey with us! Suzanne, you looked gorgeous by the way!! Loved all of your dresses
You two have hit the pinnacle with this offering. I feel it shows who you truly are. Real, inviting and genuine. There isn't any artifice seen at all and I think that is why you are such a success. Keep going please. I live vicariously through your travels and wait for the next experience you have to share.
During the great recession, we managed a great deal on a suite on a Caribbean cruise and there was nothing like having a bath on the ocean with a glass (OR BOTTLE) of champange/drink of choice! Can't afford that at regular price and I'd never want another great recession, but it did let us taste the high life! ;) Thank you again for your videos!
Hey guys, I watched this video as my wife’s parents recently did a Southampton to New York trip, then onto the Caribbean on the Queen Mary 2. So it was great to see the tour of the ship, you really did a fantastic job so thanks to both of you…
I know this video was out of the ordinary, but you two did a really good job covering the details of your adventure. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I LOVE YOUR AMTRAK VIDEOS@@GreenerGrass
As an ocean liner enthusiast Cunard especially I am very glad that probably my favorite youtuber for things like planes has traveled on what is now the last ocean liner in service! There are a few still around like the original Queen Mary in Long Beach, California though they've been retired now A few ships that were older Cruise Ships or Ocean Liners are Queen Elizabeth 2 or QE2 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the SS Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
By FAR the best report on the QM2 crossing ever. Love westbound voyages, with the extra hour daily.
My father worked for Cunard and as a teenager I traveled on the Queen Elisabeth to New York and returned on the Queen Mary, the original, this was in the 60s. Your video brought back such memories and mad me think I would like to do this one more time. Thanks
Oh. My. God. You guys are amazing. You did this trip as good as any aviation review. I truly love how humble you are and you put this together with such a good flow
Your best work yet :) I've seen every video Jeb has made - and what has not changed (at all) is your openness, your humility, and attitude of gratitude.
So nice to see you enjoying my home away from home Jeb! Queen Mary 2 - what a way to cross!
The best! Thanks so much for watching, Chris. It means a lot!!
It was nice of Jeb to feature Chris Frames books on display in the QM2 bookshop.
I agree it was very exciting to see our books @09:05 🎉
"We don't do dress up" they said, while looking as elegant and sophisticated as a Hollywood couple on a red carpet night.. 🙂
Great video, love the relaxed, down to Earth and informative video - it's a pleasure to watch you guys!
Jeb and Suzanne- thx for keeping it real and humble.
These qualities keep many of us coming back to watch your videos. 👍
We have been lucky enough to have made this journey a few times. Absolutely love QM2. Great video, thank you. A couple of things I love on sea days is the captain on the tannoy at midday and the bell being rung at the same time. Also the turn down at night with the chocolates, and lots more 🤗
As a subscriber since 2017 this has to be #1 top video on this channel, this looks like a life changing experience. And Jeb & Suzanne y’all have done incredible at showing each and every notable experience on this journey. Hands down this looks AWESOME and if I eventually scrape up enough money to do this, I will be 100% considering this trip.
Wow, thanks!
@@GreenerGrassI have had an adventure on the Norwegian Pearl last August.
You two are absolutely my favorite folks to watch on TH-cam in any genre, not just for transportation, and this video is a perfect example of why!! I was smiling right along with you for the whole 33 minutes. Your excitement and enthusiasm for all of your adventures is contagious, and my travel bucket list has grown exponentially since the first video I saw from this channel. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into sharing these experiences, and congratulations on 100 million views!🎉
This episode just made me smile throughout! Love that black dress made with the pearl choker, Suzanne! You both look so very nice!
My favorite travel vloggers on my favorite ship, perfect. Thanks so much for brining back such wonderful memories for me. I have done this trip twice from New York to Southampton, so quite interesting to see the westbound crossing.
Thank you, Jeff for you taking the Queen Mary! My husband I follow your Amtrak trips but this Queen Mary trip was definitely exquisite!
We did this crossing and loved it, so pleased you had a great time and enjoyed "our ship". A genuine Atlantic crossing. Elizabeth xx
You know I'd never considered an Atlantic Ocean crossing before but you both have sold me on it. The Queen Mary 2 is more amazing than I could have imagined! Your travel videos are some of the very best on TH-cam or Cable TV. You both have a terrific sense of humor. You clearly have a great partnership. You can't fake that. Enjoyed tagging along and watching your adventure! See you on the High Seas!!!
Another great video Jeb & Suzanne! Watching your enthusiasm/excitement at the start of the trip put a big smile on my face. I always thought it would be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience to cross the Atlantic on QM2 (sigh...maybe someday). In the meantime - thanks for sharing the trip with the rest of us! (I was surprised to hear that this was the first time that both of you had ever been on a cruise ship given all the trips that you've done; what an awesome way to be introduced to this kind of travel!). Cheers!
Thank you for taking me along for my first Atlantic crossing, and only one as I'm 93 years old. Next time around I will do it first class like you two did. Wow, how I'd love it... I loved every minute of it - you two are delightful!! ❤
Thanks for coming along❤️
Easily one of my top favorite travel videos to date. You two are so great - infectious enthusiasm and excellent information...just drinking in every possible experience on offer - brilliant. I also appreciate you showing what Great Britain really has to offer in terms of service.... and food! The emotional arrival in New York, you could totally feel it. Thank you sharing and for putting out such awesome high quality content.
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!!! ❤🎉😘🤸💫💫🌟👏👏👏👏
Well done for having captured the true spirit of the transatlantic crossing, a world away from cruising (and flying...). The epitome of maritime experience and tradition, on the only true ocean liner afloat! So much history with Cunard. It's one of life's great journeys.
You guys are cool youtubers ❤️. Absolutely loved this. What a unique experience and for your first ever time on a ship! Congrats for taking us on that adventure. As always love how genuine you guys are. Just full of passion and positivity.
Watching for the second time, we cruise Cunard QE2 Jul1. Britannia Ov balcony.
We hesitated for years watching Gary Bembridge and how much he loves Kun art and the Queen’s Grill.
I would love to see a average cruise on the cruise. I’d love to see the Britannia section where most cruisers cruise featured on a show by any TH-camr. Hey another cruise right.
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.
You never disappoint Jeb!!! Looking like 007 in the suit. 😂
Love love love love love love love this program.
About the clock 😊 If you remove the battery and replace it at the end of your journey ( peace and quiet 😊😊😊😊😊
I can’t believe you, a world traveler, never cruised before! Cruises are the best. Besides being a fascinating way to travel, the ships themselves are unbelievable technological and engineering feats. You need to add cruising to your channel! So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Keep up the great work!
I tell you man. the ocean lines travels has to come back massively! Is another experience to travel. Is amazing!
Thank you for taking time out of your holiday to showcase this amazing ship. May I say you have a very nice talking voice 👍
I have watch numerous shows about different cultures and different modes of transportation. I have to admit I enjoy watching your videos the most. You show the details of your accommodations, and the details of the way you travel. I doubt I will ever personally experience the majority of your trips, but I enjoy listening to your explanations of each one. Thank you for bringing us along as you set out to bring the world to us! Here is to many more adventures! 🍾🍷
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely loved this video. We travelled in a Queens Grill suite from Southampton to Hamburg. Jeb's enthusiasm is infectious and we want to go transatlantic even more after watching this video. ❤😂
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.
Your face when you saw your suite, joyful and full of excitement 😊looked like an amazing trip,I've done the Atlantic many times without seeing any ships for 6 days,weird experience,but exciting to see another ship.
Great video Jeb! What a great experience for you and your wife. You two got to enjoy it all and it’s a lifetime experience for many. Thanks again and look forward to many more of your videos! 😎
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 😀
Yet again, more proof of why your channel is one of my favourites.
YES, finally a cruise video! I was hoping y'all would sail on a cruise ship one day. This was a great first choice. 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!
The two of you are just adorable! It is so much fun watching you and enjoying this experience without taking it for granted! Great video!
Best Q Mary review seen for a long while - nice honest video my grandad, used to sail Cunards group of ships loved it - most cunard ships have a theme, mary 2 is famous for its art collection, more than 5,000 commissioned works of art in public rooms, corridors, staterooms, - by over 100 artists international artists. Been told library exceptional too. Not done this ship yet done a few like - classic style ships ..
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!
I loved watching this. I love that you two seem so fun and always maximise your trips. Hoping for more cruise/ship content!
The bridge and seeing Lady Liberty gave me chills.
I love cruising and have been on over 18 cruises. I think cruising is the best way to go on vacation. Can't wait to see yall go on more.
We were laughing at your bloopers when you were trying to slide down the handrail on the stairs, because we did that all the time; I think cuz we're a bit smaller and shorter, it was easier for us to slide down. 😂😂😂😂
We did get some weird looks, but we didn't care, it was fun!!🎉😅
I love it when the TH-cam algorithm makes suggestions. Watching the Statue of Liberty made me cry. My Grandparents came to the US from Italy in the early 1920s and while they didn’t travel this luxuriously, it gave me the feeling of being there with them. You’ve earned a subscriber. Thank you. ❤
It is so funny on how the day Jev uploads a video of him going on an ocean liner, I'm going on a cruise today were at port miami right NOW lol
Have a GREAT trip!
Just discovered your Chanel. Really enjoy the non-snobbish, down to earth way you do your videos. The Queen Mary trip just got added to my bucket list.
🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I really like yout videos, you are always smiling and you really enjoy your travels, even when things don't come out as you would like them to be. You both are so positive. Love you guys, I hope you continue traveling together for years to come.
I've been on 14 cruises including one T/A from N.Y. to Southampton and loved that one especially! We visited the Azores, Scotland and Ireland. Just for future reference, it's a ship, not a boat and it's your cabin, not your room. Glad you had a great time and I agree, a T/A crossing is awesome!
For Suzanne: Besides always enjoying the travel, I also love to see what Suzanne wears on the travels and how she always has the right apparel for the occasion and always looks effortlessly well put together. We have a high point here with this very elegant evening dress with the jewel neckline. Brava! Just stunning. Perfect choice.
Just wanted to congratulate you both on such a milestone! I love this channel, it's so entertaining and informative - so much fun and inspiration! And funnily enough, I'm actually posting this comment from the Cunard Building here in Liverpool!
Thank you so much!!
I hope this means you two will start doing cruises and perhaps even river boats soon!
Want to say thanks. I'm 75 and have never been anywhere- until today! Transatlantic voyage and awesome train trip through Canada.
Love the channel guys.
We from New Zealand & had our first trip to NYC in September, your arrival into NY made us want to go back.
Keep up the great content.
I took this ship on a repositioning cruise from NYC to Florida! What a gem of a ship she is!
That sounds like a lucky find - how did you know to do that?
His wife is so cute, she’s a real sweetheart. I hope they stay together forever ❤️
“From the way the ship operates, to time keeping” that line cracked me up for some reason
The absolute best thing I love about your videos is the sweet interactions you have as a couple. Keep it up!
As the Queen Mary sailed under the Verzanno Bridge, I don't know if it was the glorious music build up, or the time and place or occasion, but I teared up watching this awesome moment! Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure! CHEERS! I truly had chills as the ship passed the Statue of Liberty all lit up...WOW! Thanks again!
Jeb and wife, thank you so much for sharing travel adventures! My wife and I always watch your channel to get an idea of what our future travel will be! Thanks to you both! My wife and I appreciate you and your wife taking the time to edit these videos! 👌🏽
Yes!!! Crossing is NOT the same thing as a cruise.
I've been depressed for years. Maybe even a decade. I just started new medicine and seeing a therapist. Things are looking up now. And I have a goal. My goal is to spend two weeks on the Queen Mary 2. I have a purpose.
Thanks for this video!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 1:40
Go girl! xxx
This was amazing!!!!! I loved every minute! More of this type of trip please! Y'all are the cutest couple, you don't complicate life, you just enjoy life and each other.
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!!!
My wife and I took the Queen Mary2 from Ft. Lauderdale to NYC to Southampton. One of the most memorable trips of our lives. On the return we were able to take a sister ship, Queen Elizabeth. We are cruise ship veterans but this was another world.
Suffice it to say, you've set the bar really high by picking the QM2 as your first "cruise" experience. Future cruises will struggle to live up to expectations now, lol.
The QM2 is an 'Ocean Liner' not a cruise ship...But, I get what your sayin, as their first "cruise" anything that follows on 'regular' cruise ships from Royal, Celebrity, Carnival(although Cunard is part of the Carnival Corp family), Etc will be hard pressed to match this one...
@@Pantherjonvideos I know she's an ocean liner, hence the "cruise" (:
Right. And Suzanne kept calling it a boat! @@Pantherjonvideos
If jeb brooks was In 1910
I Always knew his real was Jack
💀
Wow what a beautiful ship enjoy guys what could be better than a cruise with a beautiful lady 😊
Cruise ships don’t appeal to me, but I’d love to sail on a real ocean liner. Books, lectures, dressing up-I’d have to put together an entire vintage/vintage-inspired wardrobe-I’d be in history nerd heaven.
