Packing & Pre-Cruise Day in Southampton before my Transatlantic on Cunard Queen Mary 2

    @seansparks2803 День назад

    Great video, and I'm pleased that you enjoyed a transatlantic on the magnificent QUEEN MARY 2. But one gripe I have and it's a mistake made by so many people. The terminal in the Port of Southampton is the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal, not the Queen Elizabeth 2 Terminal or QE2 Terminal. The Queen Elizabeth II Terminal at berths 38/39 was completed in June 1966 and named by HRH Queen Elizabeth II in July of 1966. The terminal is named after the former Queen, not after the former Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth 2. The terminal is littered with signs depicting as the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal, including the huge one as you arrive, which is clearly evident behind you in the video. "Welcome to the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal." The terminal was completed in 1966, whereas the liner Queen Elizabeth 2 entered service in 1969. Prior to Cunard relocating to the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal in 1980, the traditional Cunard berth was the former Ocean Terminal at berths 43/44 that was completed in 1950 and subsequently demolished in 1983. The former Ocean Terminal was situated on the other side of the Ocean Dock, where the current Ocean Terminal is located. Another gripe of mine is when people refer to the former Cunard liner as Queen Elizabeth II rather than Queen Elizabeth 2. The Queen Elizabeth 2 was named after the original Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth of 1940, not after Queen Elizabeth II, who actually named her. On a side note. The majority of Cunard sailings from Southampton now depart from the Mayflower Cruise Terminal at berth 106 in the port's Western Docks. The reason why the Queen Mary 2 was at the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal on this occasion was due to the fact that there were 5 cruise ships in port. Just to end......I joined the famous Cunard Line in 1983 at the age of 18 and worked onboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 for 12 years in the Purser department. I am now working shoreside within the Port of Southampton. My late grandfather worked for Cunard Line for 51 years and my father for 12 years, along with several uncles. I've got Cunard running through my veins. All you need to do now is book a cruise on another great Cunard vessel.

    • @TravelBlogJamie
      @TravelBlogJamie День назад

      Thanks. I think you used the term ‘cruise’ whereas it’s a ‘voyage’ with Cunard. School boy error!

    • @seansparks2803
      @seansparks2803 День назад

      @TravelBlogJamie The term "voyage" is used frequently within the cruise industry, especially in US markets. The term voyage is used for longer voyages such as the traditional transatlantic crossing. The Transatlantic voyage has historically always been referred to as a "crossing," but voyage is generally used. Every ship has a voyage number, be it a cruise ship or container ship. It's a record of the ships operating history. Other than the scheduled Transatlantic crossings by the Queen Mary 2, the rest of the fleet, including the Queen Mary 2 undertake cruises or cruise holidays. As an old ass who's celebrating 41 years in the cruise industry this year, it took me several years to actually verbally change the term passengers to guests.

  • @machellep1
    @machellep1 День назад

    Can’t wait to see how your voyage goes. Ben and David did not give it good ratings at all. I’ve seen so many mixed reviews. Just your entro makes me want to book. It’s a beautiful ship.

  • @markomarten
    @markomarten День назад

    The welcome on board is very special and the ship has plenty to offer. If you get the chance there’s a few videos online that explain the design and why certain things were done. The naval architect Steven Payne took a lot of time getting right, the chairman at Carnival was very adamant that a new ocean liner would follow on from Queen Elizabeth 2 and the end product is QM2. Cunard is owned by Carnival but has a very British feel to it. Cunard is a well established cruise line and you certainly get well looked after. The buffet is a popular area and you never feel rushed. Compared to the bigger ships around it only has 3000 passengers and 1200 crew and is not a floating theme park. QM2 is built for speed and crossing the Atlantic at around 30mph.
