Keep Calm Cause Ship Happens. |
I always get an amazing feeling when I walk past a ship I have "lived" and worked on. The QM2 is no miraculous exception. This is not your typical cruise ship. In fact, it is the last of the great oceanliners- passage ships designed for 12 months brutal Atlantic crossings NY to SO'TON. Her keel sits higher above the water line, 7 decks instead of 5, which makes it cut water better and makes for a smoother ride.

QM2 @sea July 2014 |
After 6 sea days, we took a voyage, not a cruise onboard the Queen Mary2. This is the shortest bridge between New York and Europe. Airplanes, afterall, are like diets - I don't like being on them.

The QM2 allows dogs onboard-cute! |

The Queen Mary 2 comes to Hamburg every year.
For her tenth jubilee she got a special celebration. |
I took lots of videos, and posted them for my my friends on Facebook, but this one pretty much sums up the crowds enthusiastic response as the flagship sails away down The Elbe River to open waters in the North Atlantic...

My first extended stay In Paradise was on America Hawaii Cruises. I just wanted a different experience, and I took the first job I could get, which was a deck hand. We sailed for seven days and each day we had a port of call

The definition of ecstasy is that you are not doing your ordinary everyday ho-hum existence. Shoveling sunshine in Hawaii beats a day at the office
