Spot the goof in this Cunard video

[bluemarble]

Here's a little game to play. This "Alaska by Cunard" video arrived in my email in-box this morning. I think it's generally very well done, but I also think there's a small goof at one point. See if you can spot (and hence verify) what I think I'm seeing that doesn't fit in with the "Alaska by Cunard" theme.

A shot of the inside of QM2 ??

Yes, indeed. Well done. For about one second at the 0:38 second mark in the video there's a shot of what looks like the QM2 interior. As we know, QM2 is not doing Alaska cruises.

Yes, easy to spot when looking for a discrepancy! Quite an iconic area of QM2, certainly not QE.

That was definately QM2 not QE. Cunard do seem quite good as mixing the ships up on their videos.

I remember seeing a "Your Voyage" souvenir video on QE2 that showed the QM2 atrium. They are sloppy with stock footage.

Also, they like using the same shots again.  The shot of the bell boy with has hand on the staircase at ~0:13 in the Alaska video appears in this week's Queen Anne 7 minute video at ~7:11.  I don't know why they like that shot so much!  I've only seen the bell boys in the Cunard red uniform on the Queen Mary 2.  Do they also wear  it on the QE and QV?

I suppose it makes sense to reuse videos in these days of cost controls - but doesn’t misleading the viewer in one scene jeopardize the credibility of the whole.  That adorable sea otter could have been in Monterey Bay, for example.

No masks on the staff. Major Gaff!

They do indeed. Bell boys certainly not exclusive to QM2!
