Post by: Admiral-of-the-fleet on October 15, 2008, 00:34:11
So i expect a lot of you lot know but The QE2 after her 40 years reign of the seas bid it's final farewell to america leaveving New York in tandem with the QM2 for its 800th and something and final transatlantic voyage.  The ship is bloody amazing, just check out the stats on the Cunard website :o ... Crazy!!! 

Anyway i kinda just wanted to see everyones view on the ship, her sisters, company, her life, final resting place somewhere in dubai (i'm nearing the end now promise) and would you guys would like to see her in SS?  Mabye a collectors edition SS09 with the QE2 as a centrepice???

Well, This has been brought up MANY times before, Please use the search function. Vstep would have to get special permission and possibly pay for the Cunard logo. They are far more likley to add a ship they could go check out themselves without having to go across the world. Ships like the PoR, And Red Eagle.

Or make a ship with an identical shape, but different name.

Ocean Star, anyone? ;D

It's rather sad to see such a nice ship like the QE2 retire.  She's the last ship to be built in Britain.

Ya, QE2 is a great ship, won't see that sort again I don't think.

Take one look at at Queen Vicotoria and you'll see...

I don't think VSTEP are interested in her though...but hey, what do I know...

I don't think there are any more Ocean liners at all.... The QM2 is now also a cruise liner....

hmm, sad to see her leave, but nothing lives forever, atleast she wont be scrapped. I think a collectors edition or something would be cool, may have some procedes go to Cunard or soemthing.
