Japan Earthquake: Queen Mary 2 Update

Queen Mary 2 is currently on passage between Osaka and Nagasaki and is circa 450 miles south west of the epi centre of this morning's earthquake.

Weather in the area is calm and it is unlikely that the sea area and route the ship is on will be affected by any after effects of the earthquake. The Commodore has made a broadcast to our Guests and staff advising them of the situation and he has walked the decks and all is calm on board.

Thanks for everyone for the updates, great to hear that everyone is safe. My parents inlaw, are also on the ship. A very eventful trip for everyone - QM2 was supposed to stop at Christchurch New Zealand in late February, but had to bypass due to the severe earthquake there.... Im sure no-one would have imagined they would be cruising past such terrible disasters.

Bonne nouvelle que vous soyez bien en dehors de ce désastre. J'arrive de l'Equateur et là-bas il y avait qq personnes de notre groupe qui s'étaient rendues aux Iles Gallapagos et n'ont pu revenir à temps pour reprendre leur vol de retour car l'aéroport avait été fermé par mesure de sécurité suite à l'alerte tsunami sur cette région. Heureusement tout s'est bien passé. J'ai pensé à vous. Bonne continuation. P.S. j'ai fait un merveilleux séjour au pied des volcans. J'ai même atteind 5 040 me. en marchant 350 m. Tout un défi, essoufflant. A la prochaine.
