Queen Mary 2 - Atlantic Crossing

Today we boarded the Queen Mary 2 for a 9 day Atlantic crossing to Hamburg, Germany. The QM2 is a true ocean liner that had its maiden voyage 20 years ago. Unfortunately it is a rainy, grey, and cold day.
Boarding was easy and we found our cabin without too much effort. It’s cozy but comfortable, lots of storage space to unpack into and we’ve got a balcony which will be great when we get to some nicer weather (crossing our fingers for that). In the meantime it’s nice to be able to see out from our room.
We enjoyed watching the ship depart from NY, had a nice steak dinner, then watched the days movie (Marlowe). We’ve never done any sort of cruise so this is a new experience in many ways.Read more
