Texwell Posted June 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2006 For all of you experienced QM2 T/A crossing passengers, I would like to know where one might have the optimal experience when sailing from NYC. This is our first crossing so we want to be sure we are in the best spot on the ship! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserking Posted June 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I would recommend going up to deck 12. Once you get there you will find a set of stairs outside and then an additional flight which will take you up to a sort of observation area, just in front the funnel. This is my favorite perch when sailing out of New York. The helicopters will be buzzing around like giant bees and the view of the Verrazano is quite spectacular. You will pass so closely under the bridge that you almost feel the need to duck. Have a great voyage. Cruiserking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pb82 Posted June 29, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Good choice. And you can take the A elevators to Deck 13. Here's a picture of the QM2 at Lisbon showing folks on that little observation deck. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6496/2294/1600/21%20a%2025-06-2006%20610.jpg http://lmcshipsandthesea.blogspot.com/ has many other fine QM2, QE2, and other ship photos.

pb82 Posted June 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2006 There are tons of pictures of the bottom of the Verrazano-Narrows bridge from the QM2 (I've taken a few ounces myself), but does anyone know of any pictures of the top of the QM2 taken from the Verrazano?

Unless it is professionally done, it would not be allowed. No cars or vehicles are permitted to stop on the bridge at any time to take pictures - it is strictly against the law especially since 9-11. I don't think Cunard ever approached this angle. Many shots have been taken from helicopters away from the bridge. Sorry, would sound interesting.

Texwell Posted June 30, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks, CruiserKing, Paul and ESLO. I've put Deck 12 in my plan! 8 days and counting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
