Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing (Europe to NYC)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- Watch this video to see what it’s like to see what it’s like to travel onboard Cunard Queen Mary 2 across the Atlantic Ocean!
We’ll take you along as we travel for eight days from Southampton to New York in a Queens Grill Suite onboard the world’s only remaining Ocean Liner!
Queen Mary 2 may be one of the most special ships on Planet Earth and, in this video, you’ll get to experience everything she has to offer her 2,000+ guests.
You’ll get a complete Queen Mary 2 tour, the flagship of the Cunard Line. We’ll give you our cruise tips for this crossing on this Cunard Cruise on an Ocean Liner! This Cunard Cruise Review is our first time traveling by ship and we chose to do it right by traveling in a Queens Grill Suite, but not just any Suite, but a Penthouse on the Seas!
Now, to be fair, this isn’t a “Cruise” in the traditional sense, instead, it’s called a “Crossing!”
We’ll even explain how Cunard dining works on QM2, including all of the options available. We’ll explain the difference between Queens Grill, Princess Grill, and Britannia.
You’ll even get an idea of how much a transatlantic cruise costs, from the cheapest to the most expensive options.
So, join Suzanne and me inside Queen Mary 2 as we travel on the QM2 across the Atlantic Ocean!

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 RUclips.. ignores Global warming, let's just pollute the world more
.
True true
Love all the "y'all's"
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.
What an incredible story.
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.
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
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!
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 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
Thank you so much!!
@@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.
Wow! You two just dived right in to the cruising thing!!! How can you ever enjoy any other cruise, ever?! 😂
Agree 200% with you. No Sam Chui.
100% this
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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. 😊
This proves what I‘ve been thinking for a while. You two have to be the best travel reviewers on RUclips, 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".
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.
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
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! 🙏
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
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! ❤
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!
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.
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 👍
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.
You two are absolutely my favorite folks to watch on RUclips 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!🎉
100% your finest video with all your insights and seeing Suzanna so animated and completely comfortable with the filming. Brilliant. Thank you both 😃
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
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 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!!!
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.
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...
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, anyway , I LOVED the clock! It's like my fancy watch - a restrained white face, with elegant gold batons, and hands!
You never disappoint Jeb!!! Looking like 007 in the suit. 😂
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.
This episode just made me smile throughout! Love that black dress made with the pearl choker, Suzanne! You both look so very nice!
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!
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.
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
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
Almost 125,000,000 views so that should mean you are just about a millionaire now or maybe more. Just found your channel. Well done. Just simple scenes. No bragadocious content, polite, easily dictated for my ears. Congratulations

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.
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.
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!
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.
If jeb brooks was In 1910
😂
I Always knew his real was Jack
💀
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
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 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.
"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 🤗
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!
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?
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 🎉
“From the way the ship operates, to time keeping” that line cracked me up for some reason
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
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!
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!
I can’t thank you enough for the joy you brought me on your trip, I felt I was there too and I smiled throughout the whole trip along with you! I don’t think I’ll ever get to go, but I can watch you enjoy it over and over.
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
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.
I tell you man. the ocean lines travels has to come back massively! Is another experience to travel. Is amazing!
You know i have watched several of your videos and the recent ones too, i don't think i have ever seen you both so happy and excited. Good for 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. ❤😂
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!
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!
Jeb and Suzanne- thx for keeping it real and humble.
These qualities keep many of us coming back to watch your videos. 👍
I loved watching this. I love that you two seem so fun and always maximise your trips. Hoping for more cruise/ship content!
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.
The absolute best thing I love about your videos is the sweet interactions you have as a couple. Keep it up!
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! 😎
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 RUclips 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!!!
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!
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’m so glad you went on this adventure!!! It was fun going along with you. I think y’all fall more in love with each other every time I watch your videos, and you make traveling look like so much fun!!! 👏👏👏💜
I found your channel at the top of the year and it is so cool! Love that you kids are traveling like no other and this “cruise” is the absolute best! ❤🎉😊
This opportunity to see the "Queen Mary 2" and wow the luxury is amazing and you of course enjoyed the (HIGH LUXURY SUITE!). Thank you for this fantastic, once in a lifetime (would be for me) Ocean Liner experience. I have saved it to enjoy again and again.
His wife is so cute, she’s a real sweetheart. I hope they stay together forever ❤️
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.
Hands down THE BEST video you two have posted. Love Love Loved it. I could see it in your eyes how much you both enjoyed yourselves. Safe Travels Amigos 👊
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!
Yet again, more proof of why your channel is one of my favourites.
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.
Great cruise report Jeb! Cunard is a class on its own compared to any of the other lines, but have heard it's a once in a lifetime experience.
In May 1962 my family and I crossed the Atlantic on the Uniteed States liner from Le Havre,France to New York, leaving Friday evening and arriving on Tuesday morning . At that time, it was the fastest ship arriving in 4 days. That liner is now a museum . Had lots of activities although I was a youngster, it was an amazing voyage. Thank you for posting this.
Sorry to say, the SS United States is not a museum ship. She is currently berthed in Philadelphia, rotting away. Many upstart attemps to refit the ship and give her a new life, but none have come to fruition. The current owners are behind on docking fees to the tune of about $200K. The future is far from rosy for her.
It’s so relaxing even experiencing through the videos! Thank you for helping us feel like we’ve traveled too. I can’t get over how much Suzanne reminds me of Pam from the office, even a similar voice it’s amazing!
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.
Yes!!! Crossing is NOT the same thing as a cruise.
Jeb and Suzanne, I enjoy all your videos but this one is at the top. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Steve R.
Wow, this really blew my mind. What a beautiful ship.
I've been on one cruise in my life years ago, the standard Mexican Riviera so I couldn't imagine what an Atlantic crossing would be like. Until now. Thank you for this immersive experience.
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.
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
Congratulations on your milestone!!!!! 🎉 We love you two!! Keep up your great work! Jeb - Charlotte here. You two keep representing!!!!! ❤ Amazing work!
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.

About the clock 😊 If you remove the battery and replace it at the end of your journey ( peace and quiet 😊😊😊😊😊
I'm normally not a fan of boats and cruises but this video was quite intriguing and enjoyable! I've never been on boat cruise but from all the videos I've seen, this voyage felt very different and didn't have a theme park feel like on a typical cruise.
How fun!!!! So good to see you and Suzanne doing something totally different!
I have binge watched a lot of your videos recently Jeb and find your positivity utterly contagious. You are a great narrator and I feel so relaxed watching your videos. I would be definitely be a fan of you guys doing more cruises. I think the thing about both the train trips and the boat cruises is that it gives you more opportunities to be in the same room at same time where you bounce off each other so well.
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!
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 😀
What an incredible experience!
I think I'd cry seeing the Statue of Liberty come into view.
Your suite was massive and absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I love that Suzanne was ROFLing in the bloopers! Looks like you guys have so much fun together. Wish everyone could have laughter more often in life in general 💗💗
