The "Voyage" part is about the 12 January 2004 voyage from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale, and not to be confused with the maiden crossing on 16 April 2004. This DVD views more like a 36 minute travel promotion piece with a couple of interviews from the director's friends. It doesn't view like a documentary, and that is the only disappointment. I was hoping for more chronological details of the journey as in interviews from fellow passengers, ship events, malfunctions, any storms or rough seas, workers who wanted to quit, etc. That would have been more interesting. This is very vanilla and why I gave it four stars.
However, the introduction includes the history of Cunard showing wonderful footage of the previous Queens Mary of '36, Elizabeth of '38, and Elizabeth 2 of '67. No exaggeration, I was tearful. I wanted to see a little more of this. The Commodore Warwick interview and retirement segments of this DVD are insightful both lasting longer each than the "Maiden Voyage" part. But again are for the liner fan only as the mildly interested person could find it dull.
The quality of the footage is excellent as it was filmed in HD. The sound, however, is another issue. Turn your volume adjuster down because it has a tendency to distort at normal volume. Overall, it makes a great addition to my ocean liner "porn" collection.
