Well, Its almost time to say goodbye to the worlds most famous ocean liner, the QE2. On November 26th 2008 she will retire after nearly 40 years of service. It will a sad thought on November 26th to think that the QE2 will never sail again. Instead, she will be a floating hotel in Dubai, but I have just found out however some awful news-The funnel will be ripped out and be replaced by a new glass one-with a penthouse suite inside. How inconsiderate of the Cunard Heritage is that, that funnel should be left alone. I have also found that many of her inside decks will be ripped out to make way for new rooms. I know this is because the QE2 is not suitable for a hotel at the moment, and business is business, but I feel she will lose her character forever, a saddening thought. I have attached a BBC article about the QE2, it may be of interest to watch the video at the bottom. But we must all concede that the QE2 will stop soon. A saddening thought. However, we must look on the bright side, as we must celebrate her 40 years of service. i think its time we say good night, and god bless, The QE2, the most famous ocean liner in the world.
