Our First Transatlantic Cruise Turned Into a Nightmare

Cruise Buoys Published November 3, 2025

Description

Tristan and Josh were so excited to set sail on their very first Transatlantic Cruise aboard the legendary Queen Mary 2 (QM2) — traveling from Southampton to New York City! 🇬🇧⚓🇺🇸 The voyage itself was absolutely beautiful — elegant evenings, incredible ocean views, and the classic charm that Cunard is known for. However, things took a shocking turn for the worse when it came time to disembark in New York. What should’ve been a smooth transition to our flight back to the UK quickly spiraled into a scary and stressful experience that has truly impacted us as a family — and changed how we feel about cruising in the future. In this video, we share exactly what happened, how it unfolded, and the lessons we learned from this journey. If you’ve ever dreamed of doing a QM2 Transatlantic Crossing, this is one story you won’t want to miss. 👬 About Cruise Buoys: We’re Cruise Buoys — Tristan and Josh — two cruise lovers sharing our real experiences, honest reviews, and adventures at sea.
