Cunard QE2 & Caronia Promotional Video

From the late 1990s, when Project Queen Mary was just starting, and QE2 and Caronia were riding high.

Quite a few familiar faces on both videos but, i wish they would have a few more passengers around when they make these sort of promotional videoa, without them it looks like the an advert for the RMS Mary Celeste!

Served on both, or should i say all 3, great times and great friends/crew.

Seems to have been made only a year or so after 'The Art of Cruising' in the other thread but a clear change of style after the change of ownership and seemingly aimed at a US not British audience.

It has prompted me to re-watch a Caronia VHS promotional video of around 12 minutes directly aimed at UK passengers extolling the virtues of round trips from Southampton on a smaller more intimate ship and with many apparently real passengers praising her and aiming some gentle digs at bigger ships with two dinner sittings - not the single in the Franconia Restaurant. This seems to date from 2001-02 and may be the last made for Caronia. Another very different approach.
