2 reviews of Queen Mary II in English
It surely is a magnificent ship,I saw it once going past Southampton
The Queen Mary II is slipped into Hamburg under cover of darkness last night, but they’d have trouble hiding her in the daytime - she is really massive!
We went down to have a gander at Cunard’s flagship at lunchtime today, and she’s an impressive site, albeit docked in what is still very much a building site!
There’s a carnival atmosphere at the docks, lots of tourists, live bands, food stalls and Union Jack’s hanging from the cabins.
She was until 2006 the largest passenger vessel ever built - Thomas remarked at lunch that the Titanic was much smaller than this, and it’s interesting to get a sense of scale.
Powered by 4×16-cylinder diesels and 2 gas turbines in a CODAG arrangement more commonly found on naval vessels, she’s capable of a not too shabby 29.62 knots. Which is a lot faster than I can run.
Well worth a look!
