Yes. apparently they are building a new entertainment facility where the engine rooms once were.

Well, They made the QM a hotel and its great, so maybe the same will be for QE2. Maybe you could go spend a night there.

The QE2 has now officially retired from service, Congratulations QE2, of 40 years of glorious service.

A true favourite. A war veteran. A supership. The QE2. The most famous ocean liner in the world,

Goodnight

Shes now not a Cunard liner any longer

Kapn Jonah · « **Reply #71 on:** November 27, 2008, 22:02:23 »

very unfortunate.....

saltydog · « **Reply #72 on:** November 27, 2008, 22:22:59 »

She was a great ship in her day, but now her age is showing..
Besides, trans-atlantic liners are a thing of the past..It's all about cruise-ships now..
I'm glad they have found a way to keep her..

Master Captain · « **Reply #73 on:** November 28, 2008, 02:39:00 »

good luck

Kapn Jonah · « **Reply #74 on:** November 28, 2008, 16:40:13 »
