Models in the Pursers Office
« on: Sep 10, 2009, 06:26 AM »
Some here may recall the Pursers Office (1994-1999) had several models of the Cunard fleet in it near the reception desk.

There was (from memory) QE2, RVS and the Sea Goddess' (maybe also Vistafjord). Does anyone else recall these and if so... anyone know what happened to them?

The QE2 model was dressed in her 1994-1996 livery inc. Golden Lion and Speed Stripe - would be a rare memento these days!!

On my journey in 1989, I saw some fine models of older Cunard ships in the Card room, and of course, the magnificent Maury outside the Mauretania restaurant.

Chris - the models ended up behind-the-scenes in the Pursers Office and the QE2 went to the Hotel Manager's Office.

I had always wondered what had happened to those models. Thanks for the insight, flagship. ;)

(Mods - does the Purser's Office need a topic of its own? There isn't one, yet!)
