It was exactly 20 years ago today (12 Jan 2004) that me and my dad embarked at Southampton on the QM2 for her maiden voyage. I remember there being fabulous fire works at sail away and at each port we were treated like royalty - what an amazing experience. Dad is no longer with us and the QM2 has left me with such wonderful memories to look back on. Creating memories is what it is all about……thanks for the lovely vlogs. Niki x

I’ve been saving this series so I can binge watch as it’s also in my bucket list. It didn’t disappoint guys! Looks fantastic already. Happy 21st Birthday Paulie Morgan 🤣

You never disappoint bringing wonderful memories to us. My DH was born in Bristol to an RAF veteran and Canadian war bride. In 1951, at the age of 2, he emigrated to Canada with his Mum on the original Queen Mary to meet-up with his Dad in Saskatchewan. In October, 2004, I arranged a surprise 55th birthday cruise on QM2 for a 14-day Mediterranean cruise out of Southampton. Two weeks before our cruise, originally booking a verandah cabin, we were upgraded gratis to Queen's Grill. Suffice it to say, it was a cruise we will never forget. Truly memorable!

I sailed from Southampton to Brooklyn in mid December. We hit 2 major storms, 1 had 6m waves the other 9m waves. QM2 sailed through them with ease. Such an elegant, beautiful ship. I thoroughly enjoyed my crossing.

In Nov 2016, 5140 was our cabin on our first-ever cruise. Nothing like breaking your cruise teeth on the Queen Mary 2!! We were just about to leave for a 2-month stay in Spain when an e-mail came with a good price. We decided to just abandon our return flight (it was in the days when flights were ridiculously low), and booked our return journey on her. Loved that sheltered cabin, we could sit outside, even during inclement weather, and enjoy being close to the water! Hubby still talks of that trip and would like to do it again, if we can coordinate it as a part of our other travels.

BRILLIANT sailaway video! Great work Paulie Morgan thank you!

[smartcookiesam]

Thankyou so much for this. Loved my two trips on the QM2 in 2022 and 2023- I did the TA westbound to NYC for my 50th birthday in 2022 and last August sailed round the Norwegian Fjords on her. Bringing back wonderful memories of my happy place. I can’t wait to sail on her again- currently planning another trip hopefully this year or next year. We want to do the TA but Eastbound like you both have done. Sail🚢🛳

She was on my Bucket List since I saw the first pictures of QM2!
In the meantime we have sailed several times on her, 5 or 6 Transatlantics and 2 caribbean sailings.
She is an absolute pleasure to travel with and in 2025 will be the next voyage, since we are "fully booked" with other ships for 2024.

[caseyley]

SO excited to see you back on Cunard cause that means that -I- get to see the QM2 again too and I LOVELOVELOVE that glorious ship and I love seeing you guys enjoy her! It's my absolute dream to sail on her on that crossing one day. Thanks for sharing this with us and happy birthday Paulie Morgan!!!! ❤

[Moonbayb-ib]

I did my bucket list crossing on her Dec 15th-22nd, and your video made me smile. I live in the US, but flew to the UK and crossed back. It was wonderful, vand I plan to do it again!

hi paul and carole, great video.. i travelled from southampton to new england in 2006 and 2008 on Qe2 things were better with cunard, you find the pillow chocolates are smaller and other things has changed, they should of bought a ship out like Qe2 with single cabins alot of single ladies made up numbers for dance hosts, i have also been on Qe which should start again from southampton instead of miami .. but did like Qv .. had some great times, cunard should not rip of singles with suppliments i feel we are victimised with prices . i did enjoy the po fleet as in aurora and azura... you are a amazing couple good luck and kind wishes ..

[claireejbtravels]

That sky for sailaway is stunning How sweet of Dan to send a cake. Looks delish. Do hope Paulie shared it eventually 😁Great video. Was sad to see this one end.

[kaamkmca]

Thank you, Paul and Carole for a fabulous video. Thank you for your advice and tips. It's 5 yrs since we were on QM2. Nice to be updated. We are planning a voyage soon. The internet charge was a pain, probably still is.

[andiscott]

I did Southampton - New York - Southampton in September, in a cabin a few doors down from where you stayed... Absolutely wonderful experience. 5th time for me on QM2 and don't tire of it in the slightest... Got off in Southampton after 2 weeks of relaxation and peace and quiet.

[jacquelinebernalmueller]

My goodness, ❤ Thank you for showing us the spectacular views of my hometown. Really beautiful views and weather, must have been those beautiful September. Skies. 😂

[andreadimmick]

Glad to see the daily program is still available, I love to mark off what we want to do the next day.

[lorrainepeddle]

Cunard should build another Ocean Liner to replace the Queen Mary 2 in order to maintain future transatlantic crossings with a British flavour and tradition. I recommend the ship be named "Queen Freddie Mercury."

[thomaslane]

I love watching you guys, I really enjoy listening to the way you interact with each other.

[zammich]

There's something about the observation deck shots of the QM2 just matter-of-factly crossing the middle of the ocean that's so bold and powerful. I love seeing her in her element.

[evelynhall-bc]

I was in the U S Navy on board ship for 3-1/2 years and sailed into and out of many ports but the one that I remember the most was going through the straights of Gibraltar at sunset with
Europe on one side and Africa on the other and the sunlight brilliant on the Rock. May of 1969
