Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Well, for a start, Queen Mary 2 has a keel as opposed to a flat bottom. She is also much stronger in construction and is designed for Atlantic crossings.
  2. It is indeed a planetarium and in fact it is one of the most advanced in the world and certainly the most advanced at sea. It is, in fact , the equivalent of the Haydon Planetarium in New York. Please do not confuse its use as a 3D movie theatre with its use as a genuine planetarium. Using its capabilities the VRA can show you the night skies at any time in the past or the future from any point on Earth. The Resident Astronomers do a "Sky above us" show in the dome which is a live narrated presentation of the night sky above the ship relevant to the ship's itinerary.
  3. Great photos! Glad you had a good and successful tour. We had a great show of the lights on deck!
  4. Looking forward to meeting you all. Fingers crossed for good weather! https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/inspiration/destinations/starry-starry-night
