Just voted a year after posting.  My favorite public room was the Lookout Bar followed closely by the original Double Down Room. Neither is a poll choice.

My favourite indoor public room was the Queen's room but I have to agree with Rosie.... the "Bit Beneath the Bridge", the observation area out front which was very often out of bounds... I would like to just stand there, dead centre, right behind the big crest, look out over her bow and then peek up at the bridge and just say to myself... Yup... this is MY SHIP!!!

As you know, along with the Forum itself, this was the first poll here ,
taking place  when the membership was less than about 30!

Wouldn't it be good to know more about where people enjoyed being on board QE2?
and - it's a fair bit easier than Bob's 'What's your best Queen' poll too!

As Bob C says what about the places of yesteryear.. the Golden Lion is hideous, But the theatre bar was far better
And the Grand Lounge or the Double Room, there really is no comparison on that one.... ;)
Heck even 4 and 5 deck do we like the wooden effect or the plain white walls...
Even if folks want to add what they liked or didnt like about the various room, then again l suppose we could have a topic for each and every room/lounge and start from there.. 

In fact Rosie on that point, perhaps we should go back to the early posts and start again with so many new members, Its actually quite refreshing to visit old topics
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

I feel I must weigh in here and speak up for the forgotten Midships bar. It's small size, little booths and dark green leather
and velvet finishes made it seem the epitome of chic sophistication that was the early QE2.

As a 12/13 year old there was another reason to love the place. If I asked for a shandy in any other bar onboard the barman
would put a splash of beer in a tall glass and fill it up with lemonade. In the Midships I would be given a tall glass half full of
lemonade with a bottle of "probably the best lager in the world" on the side. Then I' simply neck the lemonade, pour myself
a beer and sit getting gently wasted like the rest of the grown-ups.

Happy days - or rather happy daze ;)

The Midships Bar was a very cosy place liked by many and of course the old Yacht Club with is waving ceiling and glass piano.

Here's a 'blast from the past'!
As noted above - this was the very first poll on the Forum and 850+ members have joined since those early days.
To the 850+, 'Your Votes Count' too, you know!
(Wishing we could give a plaque to the most popular room - maybe one day.....)

Louis, Rod, and all Crew Members - did the Crew have favourite (as well as least favourite) rooms used by passengers Guests?
Secretly, I'd hoped the wash-rooms could be listed here - they were the cleanest of all!
