[icat2000]

Going to watch it again cause its on my bucket list.

[Melkaracam]

My husband and I were lucky to do a two night cruise on her last November!

 

It's a beautiful ship and I will look forward to the show tonight.

 

Thanks for letting us know:)

[Pushka]

Just left QM2 after 23 fabulous nights. Will watch this again methinks. I recognise a couple of faces.

Enjoyed watching it again. While onboard we did a ships behind the scenes tour so was great to be able to show husband (who didn't come with me) where we went. Now a transatlantic is on the list.

 

Only saw one officer I'd met on the Bridge. Otherwise an entirely different crew from last month.

I think the show was made in 2009. There were some odd comments about the ship's age and number of cruises.

 

I would have liked to have seen a little more of the passenger side. Guess I will have to win the lotto and experience it myself.

[alibabacruisers]

Yes it was a repeat but I just love watching it to get my cruise "fix". I would also like to see more passenger "stuff". Maybe they should make a Part II!?

[windsor26]

Yes a repeat as I am sure now the Oasis and the Royal are said to be larger

[MicCanberra]

I have recorded it so we know what to expect for our cruise next year. Hope to watch it soon.:D

Think you will find that QM2 is the the biggest "ocean liner" as opposed to the largest "cruise ship" which is of course the Allure of the Seas.

[Pushka]

Only ocean liner. ;)

[MicCanberra]

Only ocean liner. ;)

And the difference between a ship and a liner is?:confused:

[mr walker]

And the difference between a ship and a liner is?:confused:

 

Very little these days. An ocean liner was designed to sail across an ocean from a port in one country to another port in a different country eg a TA from NY to London, essentially a means to get from point a to point B. A cruise ship was for sailing a return loop to the one port over a relatively short distance eg a Caribbean cruise from Miami to Miami.

 

Clearly the lines are now blurred, although a case can be made that there are different ships for each of these occurrences, even though some do a combination.

You'll need to get that sorted before you leave on QM2 Mic.

Thanks for the explaination. Sort of clears it.:D

Clearly some homework needed here.:D

NO NO NO... !!!!

 

There is a huge difference between a Cruise Ship and an Ocean Liner.

It all depends on their bottoms..:D

 

An Ocean Liner was intended for travel from one destination to another , (before the advent of air tavel) and as such had no choice about avoiding the weather of going around a cyclone. They had to plough through whatever the elements could throw at them.

They were designed with deep V hulls so that they could cut through the water , where as a cruise ship has a flat bottom hull

Liners also have long bows to deflect the waves which would break over the top of them.Check some out on Google images and compare the length of the bows with the snub nosed cruise ships of today.

Not to mention that the "Ocean Liner" probably has more formal nights:D:D:D

Now that puts it much more simply, the shape of the hull/bows is the determinant. Thank you.:D

Is every night strictly Formal, or are the nights that are not Formal are just much more dressier than RCI, X or Princess?:D

[Pushka]

Hey Mic. Approx every 3 nights is a formal night. Approx. You can still eat in the buffet and not dress formally on formal nights but there are still some dress rules like no shirts or denim anywhere after 6pm. On non formal nights people still dress as though they are going to a nice restaurant if eating in the MDR.

Thanks, I watched the show and I thought it would be like you described but it seemed like it was black tie every night. :D

BTW, Even I wouldn't go out in public without a shirt after 6pm.:p
