VCR Alert: Queen Mary 2 Saturay May 1st Noon EST on The Discovery Channel

[TPKeller]

This is a 2 hour documentary covering the design, construction, fitting out, sea trials and training of the staff.

I thought it was pretty good. It is similar to the documentary on the building of Voyager of the Seas.

Here's a blurb (http://dsc.discovery.com/schedule/episode.jsp?episode=1&cpi=67769&gid=0) from the Discovery Channel web site.

I saw the last half of it, and what I saw was very interesting. Any idea on when it will be on again?

I watched it,too. It was very interesting to see all the details that go into the making of a huge cruise ship like that. Especially all the "sea tests". I couldn't believe how much one anchor and chain weighed!! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif (The anchor-23 tons and the chain-119 tons!!)
