Recommended Posts

Poodlecruisers great QM2 video prompted me to finally (only three and a half years late) post my Maiden Crossing video on Youtube.

 

If any of you suffer from insomnia, or actually want to see the maiden crossing then here's the links

 

Sailaway

Welcome, and waves

Around the ship

Around the ship and Verrazano Bridge

Arrival in New York

QE2 & QM2 Sailout and fireworks

 

If you like waves then 2 of 6 is for you.

 

Regards, Colin.

Colin - Those were excellent:) I particularly liked (all of it but I'm going to single out) the shot at the end of section 4, Arrival in New York, that shows the view of Manhattan over the bows. That alone is reason for us to want to dock there rather than Red Hook:)

Colin,

Excellent films thank you, and what a great choice of music to accompany them!

Those mountainous seas though:eek: ! Which deck were you on when you filmed this and what was the motion like? We did our TA in July last year and it was like a millpond, which month was this?

Colin,

Those were absolutely marvelous. Thank you for posting them!

The use of music was fabulous!

I loved the waves. I recognized the Golden Lion Pub windows at one point, and I think the ones on 2 deck.

Also great shots of the dancing.

 

That had to be Grucci fireworks show. that smiley face is one of their signatures. I heard an interview from one of the Gruccis just before fourth of july this year. I think they have that patented or something. )Maybe trademarked? I forget)

 

Absolutely marvelous!

 

Karie,

who is REALLY looking forward to her double crossing now!

I hope it's bouncy!

Are those the same people that do the Foxwoods fireworks at Sailfest in New London every year? They are amazing!

Colin,

 

Thanks SO much for posting those videos. They are amazing - can't say what I liked the most although seeing the Commodore is always a treat. The brief scenes from the Golden Lion make me so 'shipsick'!

Not sure, but I am sure you could look that up. I think they do the 4th at Riverfest in Hartford every year. I didn't know there was fireworks at sailfest! (Of course I've always been during the day!)

 

They are about the most famous fireworks company.

I'm sure they must have a web site!

 

Karie,

who is leaving for Mohegan shortly
