Customer Reviews

What's In A Title
The title of this DVD includes QEII. I don't recall any segment regarding this liner. I sailed on this ship and loved it. The DVD did help fulfill my great interest in ocean liners. Definitely worth it and glad it's in my collection.

Not Your Usual Marvel
I usually enjoy the Modern Marvel series, but this episode failed to live up to the standard. It was lackluster and uninspired. Even the narrator seemed bored. If you are interested in the Titanic, you would do much better with the History Channel or National Geographic DVDs on the subject. I purchased this DVD, partly out of interest in the Titanic and partly out of curiosity about cruise ships in general. If you want to learn about cruise ships and how they function and what goes on behind the scenes, look elsewhere.
