Title: QE to become a vista Class cruise ship
Post by: Gloat on December 19, 2008, 16:17:26

Well, I guess thats the last of the famous cunard ocean liners like the QM2 for now..,

Their new liner QE is to be another Vista Class cruise ship like many others, including Celebrity Millenium, QE's sister Queen Victoria, Eurodam and others.

I was hoping for a nice classic cunard design which makes the world go WOW, like the QE2.

Ah well...

Its a shame yes, they should give all cunard ships a liner stern. they could still be cruise ships but looking more like liners. That would be nice

I'm not surprised.

I heard that Cunard were building an almost identical sister to QV :)

Seems like Cunard have lost their ability to design stunning liners...

I think its just the market to be honest.

Vista class. Does that mean she'll crash and lock-up a lot, and will be unable to use the same routes as all of her predessessors without extensive modifications?  :laugh:

I knew that. But the joke works well with your previous incarnation as Microsoft.

Although not very well with "Titanic".

Guys, you shouldn't be so surprised. Cunard is run by Carnival, which is in my opinion, a company that lacks ANY class.

I thought you were one of those people who told me to change my name because Microsoft was copyrighted by err... Microsoft?

Hmm...

I thought Cunard was run by Princess... They share headquarters. And I agree, Carnival lacks the ability to stun the crowd with different type cruise ships.
