Our first full day at sea aboard Queen Mary 2 – and there's already far more to do than we can possibly fit in! Join me for Day 2 of Queen Mary 2's historic 450th transatlantic crossing, as we leave the British Isles behind and head out into the Atlantic on our way from Southampton to New York. Today begins with a moving Remembrance Day silence at sea, followed by a visit to one of my favourite spots on the ship – the spectacular observation deck, complete with a little-known secret lift! There's also plenty to keep us busy, including fascinating lectures from maritime historian Chris Frame and Queen Mary 2's original designer Stephen Payne, a relaxing visit to the thermal spa, some exercise around the decks, another excellent dinner and an evening at the ship's cinema. So much for a quiet day at sea! I'm posting a new video every day throughout this special crossing, sharing the sights, food, entertainment, fascinating people and everyday experiences that make a voyage aboard Queen Mary 2 so memorable. Subscribe to Chris Rand Travels and join me all week as we cross the Atlantic aboard the world's most famous ocean liner. Tomorrow brings another day at sea – and who knows what we'll discover? #QueenMary2 #QM2 #Cunard #TransatlanticCrossing #CruiseVlog #OceanLiner #ChrisRandTravels
