The Most Dangerous Place on Queen Mary 2 | QM2 Vlog #3

Can the guest laundry on a cruise ship actually be dangerous?! I’m chris frame, the maritime historian, and today we are on board the magnificent Queen Mary 2 as she crosses the Tasman Sea from Auckland to Sydney. While the QM2 is known for her elegance and the grand Britannia Restaurant, there is one place on board where things can get a little… heated. In this video, I take you along for a typical day at sea, which includes: - The Search for Coffee: Visiting Sir Samuel’s and discussing the "other" founders of Cunard Line (Burns, MacIver, and Napier). - Breakfast with a View: Enjoying the Britannia Restaurant and Dr Stephen Payne’s brilliant design. - The Laundry Wars: Testing the myth of the guest laundry. Is it really the most "dangerous" place on the ship? From barricaded doors to iron-wielding passengers, the stories are wild! - A Bookshop Surprise: Finding my own books, including The Cunard Story and Queen Anne: A Photographic Journey, in the ship's library. - Behind the Scenes: Preparing for my maritime history lecture in Illuminations. Whether you're here for the ship's history or the social politics of the laundrette, I hope you enjoy this look at life on board the world’s only true ocean liner.
