1. If you plan to visit Australia, or even if you don't, you have to see this video. The beauty shots and the musical score are nothing short of awesome. This is how all travel guides should be. Thorougly enjoyable.



2. Too many pictures of tourists not so many of the beautiful landscape of Australia. Made for an American public.

1. Don't bother with this video. It looks like your grandparents home movies. The production is really low-budget, it's old grainy pictures with boring voice-over narration, and it's not remotely current or interesting. They don't even mention the red-light district of Amsterdam, they think there is still a wall in Berlin, and the narrator sound like some boring office manager reciting next years budget. It makes the Rick Steves stuff on PBS positively tingle with inspiration, and that's pretty bad.

2 comments about The Great World Cruise of the QE2.

1. Being a Cunard aficionado and traveled transatlantic on this beautiful ship, I bought this video to compare notes.

   This was filmed 20 years ago and today is so grainy, high in contrast, and so 60's, it's painful to watch.

   Doug Jones voice is so monotonic, we fell asleep often trying to get through it.

   There is another VHS available here ... with Cunard's logo on it in Manhattan. Filmed closer to 1995, it's a far better value and we could actually recognize aspects of the ship!

2. Since the QE2 has been sold and '08 is her last year as a cruise ship (she's to become a floating hotel in Dubai), this video, no doubt, will become a nostalgic classic. I have done one transatlantic crossing and one Mediterranean cruise on the QE2 and love her. This film from '89 is definitely dated but still shows much of what the ship has to offer and I enjoyed Doug Jones' wry sense of humor! The ports of calls on this World Cruise were very exotic to one who has not been to South America or Asia and I found them fascinating. The colorful landscapes were beautiful and not as grainy as the filming on board the ship. The film ends with the QE2 sailing into NYC harbor showing both the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers reminding us of a skyline no longer with us.

1. While "The Magic of Venice" contains moderately interesting information, it is a somewhat amateurish affair. The film quality is poor, and the narrator mispronounces a good many Italian words. Suggest the price be lowered to a more modest $9.99.
