On some voyages, winters especially, Queen Mary sailed into harbour with more crew than passengers, though both she and Queen Elizabeth still averaged over 1,000 passengers per crossing into the middle 1960s.
Na nekim putovanjima, posebno zimi, Queen Mary je uplovljavao u luke s više posade nego putnika, premda je zajedno s Queen Elizabeth do polovice 1960-ih održavao prosjek od 1000 putnika po plovidbi.
