Tony Tate, QE2 Public Room Steward 1984-1985

[Tony Tate]

Hello everyone My name is Tony Tate I was on board the QE2 in 84-5.

I must admit it was the best time I ever had at sea. I joined the ship in Southampton with a mate of mine called Robert(Bob) Maitland. Both of us from Liverpool we also had another scouser with us called Martin Douglas. I have lost contact with these two and also a few others I would like to get in touch with are Sean Sparks, Suzanne Kendall, Maria Leahy to name but a few.I had so many different jobs on board that ship ranging from Day gang, Theatre Stwd, Lido stwd, Double Down room stwd, Gym attnt.

I mustn't have been very good cos they kept moving around. I am in touch with ony a couple from the ship so if anyone can pass on a message to the above mentioned crew members I would appreciate it!

Hello Tony, great to see you here!

Looking forward to hearing more about the various assignments you had, and what made them particularly good (or less good, as the case may be!).

What made QE2 give you the best time you ever had a sea?

But above all, enjoy the Forum, have a look around, let the memories seep back, and tell us some of your stories .

I also hope that the Forum will help you make contact with some old friends -- if not immediately, then at least before too long.
