WOW, WOW and WOW again
We have just arrived home from our day at the gathering.
Lots of memories, thoughts and things to say so here goes;
1. Thanks to Linda, Rob and Flagship for organising and herding us around
2. Very suprised by how good QV was in the flesh. Yes she may not be much to look at, but, the spirit of QE2 remains on board especially as a good number of QE2's crew now reside on board. Her decor and interior fixtures and fittings also have a nice and well thoughout feel to them. Her smaller size also adds to a much more intimate or QE2 style feel/atmosphere, as such I am now scouring the brochure to find a suitable short break cruise!
3. The Cunard building is so impressive, what a well maintained piece of history - in an odd kind of way a lot of what Cunard are trying to replicate decor wise on their ships (and were with QE2) is sitting un-used in that very building. What a place it would have been to depart from! The board room was really something else, just out of this world. Also the building manager allowed us onto the roof for the best view of QV and the other two graces.
4. What fantastic company we had with the rest of the forum members and their partners, Lilly was a star!
Looking forward to the next meeting and I hope you all have a very enjoyable evening tonight. Finally I hope that the heads are not too sore in the morning and the hearts not to heavy with QE2's fate tonight
John (plus Patricia and Alan)
