I haven't watched it yet :(

I've watched it now :) I think that it is the best film of QE2 that I've ever seen. Watching it was a most moving experience. Parts of the main feature had me in tears.

For those who, like me, bought the Heritage Trail DVD on-board and were disappointed the 8 minutes film showing the inside of the ship is vastly better :)

I was very pleased to see the Titanic Memorial extra. It was raining hard so I decided to stay in our cabin and miss the ceremony. I always wondered what happened - now I know.

Thank you for such a good disc :)

Thanks Mrkpnh!  So glad you enjoyed the DVD!   Once small note for everyone who may watch "Three Queens - An International Rendezvous" - I purposely left the main feature without narration and only a nice music underscore so that true Ocean Liner folks can really just enjoy the images and the beauty of the ships without my yakkin' in the background.  For some folks (like my parents  ;D) who want more details about what they are looking at, then you can play the optional "Director's Commentary" from the Special Features section.  For those who are DVD Player "savvy", the commentary is actually just an alternate Audio track and if you know how to switch audio with your remote, you can also go between "Talk" or "No Talk" easily!  It was too much to try and explain on the DVD Cover!!  ::)

All my best,
Bob

I must be like your parents   ??? I much preferred the commentary to watching it without. I enjoyed the video so much I'm taking it round to my parents for them to see later today. They were on the QE2 for the final transatlantics but, of course, couldn't get any photos of the ship.

I received my copy last week - only took 5 days from ordering it on line - thanks for the superb service. Well what can you say - as someone who travelled on the QE2 on her last departure on the 16th of October from New York it keeps the
memories alive. I got up every morning when i was travelling on the QE2 and looked across to the QM2 and just wished somehow l could get across and view the "Beautiful Lady" - this DVD has done that for me, together with the shots of the two Queens in New York and the unforgettable last farewell on the last afternoon at sea -its all there - i must admit the tears started to gather again  and that wonderful shot of the guy with the tears rolling down his cheeks as the two Queens said farewell is absolutley superb - i can not recommend this wonderful DVD high enough - if you were one of the fortunate few who were there  - buy it for the memories. If you could not be there buy it and see what you missed - Wonderful.

This is probably one of my favourite videos because it shows the wreath laying ceremony that was held on board the QE2 on April 14, 2008. Since being a teenager it had always been my goal to be on a Cunard ship on the Titanic anniversary and boy did I pick the right trip.
On the Sunday evening the cruise director announced that at 5:20 the next afternoon we would be passing over the wreck of the Titanic and that we would be having a wreath laying ceremony at the stern of the ship at that time. There was nothing written in any of the daily programmes so the news was spread by word of mouth.
On the Monday morning Commodore Warwick gave a talk on his trip down to the wreck of the Titanic along with slides of his adventure. Seems a former QE2 passenger had won the trip in an auction and decided not to go down and not wanting to waste the money, gave the prize to Commodore Warwick.
So shortly after five in the afternoon, a few hundred of us gathered on the rain soaked decks of the QE2 to participate in the ceremony. One of my fellow passengers described it as tears from heaven. The whole ceremony is captured in the bonus section of the Three Queens DVD. I can even spot myself in the upper right hand side in the red raincoat.
After the ceremony I was standing out on deck looking back when I had the sensation that I was being scanned. It made me think that the site is indeed haunted.

Just ordered my copy of the dvd, the preview scenes look pretty awesome and some nice shots of QE2 on the final crossings..
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

Received this amazing DVD for Christmas in 2009. The DVD was misplaced various times throughout 2010 due to me watching it so much! I strongly recommend this amazing film to any QE2 fanatic!  ;D  -Brandon

I ordered two copies of this absolutely stunning DVD as I new I would wear one out in no time. I watch it at every opportunity,(normally on my own with the surround sound on high), as I do with Rob's  equally stunning DVD 'Sleeping Beauty - QE2 in Dubai'  :'(
