Nick LeightonHOST
funny, you should mention it.
Nick LeightonHOST
So when Leah and I were on the Queen Mary 2 recently, we dined together and every meal, it seemed like you ordered fish and every meal they gave you a fish knife.
Leah BonnemaHOST
Yes,
Nick LeightonHOST
they did.
Ben HatkeGUEST
And so my question with this book was also...
Ben HatkeGUEST
So what Nellie Bly didn't have was air travel, right? So my question was, can you, without flying, circle the earth? Is it easier or harder to circle the earth in 80 days without flying? And my answer ended up being harder or close to impossible, right? because of the shrinking of passenger sea crossings, right? There is a point-to-point liner that goes from New York to England, to Southampton, and that is the Queen Mary 2, and that is still a crossing.
Ben HatkeGUEST
It's not a... not like, it's not a pleasure cruise that you, although it's very nice, but you do, you, you get on and you get off, right.
Ben HatkeGUEST
You are crossing the Atlantic, but there's nothing I could find like that for the Pacific.
KurtPANELIST
Have we ever read a text that started with Maritime Fanatic here from the 636? Ocean liners are not used anymore.
KurtPANELIST
The only ocean liner still in operation would be the RMS Queen Mary II.
KurtPANELIST
There you have it, Doug.
KurtPANELIST
What makes
KurtPANELIST
Text in again, Maritime Fanatic.
KurtPANELIST
Ocean liner is not used anymore.
KurtPANELIST
The only one still in operation, the RMS Queen Mary II.

Bop, bop, bop.
Craken MacCraicHOST
My wife's cousin got to go on one of those mere trips to the Titanic.
Craken MacCraicHOST
He was the captain of the QE2 and then the Queen Mary 2.
Craken MacCraicHOST
And one of his passengers had a ticket and didn't want to use it.
Craken MacCraicHOST
So just gave it to him.
Nick LeightonHOST
So here we go.
Nick LeightonHOST
And all of these questions come from our recent voyage on the Queen Mary 2.
Nick LeightonHOST
We got so many questions that we had some extras and here they are.
Leah BonnemaHOST
Yeah, Nick and I were sort of, we didn't know what was going to happen because it is not our regular wolves family.
Leah BonnemaHOST
were so happy.
Nick LeightonHOST
Very happy.
Nick LeightonHOST
So here's the first one, which is quote, when you were on the Queen Mary 2 and waiting in line for the laundry, are you allowed to use more than one machine or must you wait until your first load is done and use that same machine for your second load?
Leah BonnemaHOST
If you had your finger on my wrist right now, you would have just felt my pulse go up.

Chris FrameHOST
Welcome to the Expert Cruise Show.
Chris FrameHOST
I'm Chris, he's Anthony, and today we are talking all things Queen Mary 2 and the upcoming 2027 refit.
Anthony DavisHOST
Very exciting.
Anthony DavisHOST
We've been talking about this so much, haven't we? Like offline, the cruise critics going mad for it, you know, the threads and the forums are going mad for it.
Anthony DavisHOST
But because I really love the fact that it's just so French, 2003, you know.
Chris FrameHOST
Do you know the other thing that makes QM2 and other ships that are built at Le Chantier stand out from that era? What's that? It not only is there, there's obviously the ashtrays in the bathroom, which, you know, funnily enough, on Emma Cruz's channel, she's got hundreds of people who are convinced it's actually a soap tray sitting there above the toilet, which makes no sense at all.
Chris FrameHOST
But they also, in the Queen Mary 2 bathrooms in the original cabins, they have a bottle opener attached to the door frame.
Chris FrameHOST
I
Peter KnegoHOST
And I, on the other hand, I have no interest in being an insights lecturer, although it would be nice.
Peter KnegoHOST
On occasion, once or twice to do the Queen Mary 2 or something, but they don't know who I am and they don't seem to want what I've got to talk about.
Peter KnegoHOST
And I, frankly, I'm just not a big fan of the Cunard product.
Peter KnegoHOST
I like the ships, at least the first three of the current Queens.
Gary BembridgeHOST
P&O Cruises is the UK line known for cutbacks and increasingly offering value cruising for families.
Gary BembridgeHOST
We already know that Queen Mary 2 is coming out of the 2027 revamp with more cabins and increased passenger capacity.
Gary BembridgeHOST
So we should be watching for what and how these changes in how QNOD is run are going to impact the ships and the QNOD experience.
Gary BembridgeHOST
I mentioned Grylls is used in the advertising as their flagship.
12 MINS LATER
Gary BembridgeHOST
All four ships have versions of the same classic Cunard venues like the Queens Room, Golden Line Pub, Chart Room, Library, Commodore Club, Royal Court Theatre and Britannia Club, Princess and Queen's School restaurants.
Gary BembridgeHOST
They are often in different locations, laid out differently and feel very different ship to ship.
Gary BembridgeHOST
If you want the truly unique, iconic experience, it's Queen Mary 2 with no contest.
Gary BembridgeHOST
If you want the classic Cunard feel with more diverse itineraries, go for Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth.
Tom DrakeHOST
So we did that, and then it was back to work because my good friends at Cunard decided to mess up my Labor Day holiday.
Tom DrakeHOST
Over the weekend, they sent an email out to All of their customers, and I have one, he's on the QM2 right now doing a 25-day round trip from New York City.
Tom DrakeHOST
And he's also booked in December a 14-day round trip to New York City in a Queens Grill suite.
Tom DrakeHOST
And guess what? They had a giant promotion, a Labor Day promotion.
AmyHOST
well.
AmyHOST
Let us read on to Paula and Thomas aboard the Queen Mary 2.
AmyHOST
Is it just the Queen Mary or is it Queen Mary 2? The big ship.
AmyHOST
It's haunted.
AmyHOST
I know you want to go there and do like the haunted tour, right? I think
