Reds over the QE2
Suspicion breeds confidence
She's still faster then any ship in the fleet and it will be a wrench to see her go. I hope to do the very last transatlantic from NY on her late next year. The early planning is that it will be the fastest ever Cunard crossing beating old Queen Mary's pre-war record.

If you haven't already booked, you haven't a hope in hell of doing a transatlantic crossing next year on the QEII. I tried to book a crossing (any cabin would have done) for my parents just a few days after the announcement of her retirement and was told they were all completely sold out.

Yes, a cracking show which collected 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' from all those around me.
The local Glasgow paper had an excellent front page http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/_image...2007-09-20.pdf

Reds over the QE2
Don't despair folks. The end is not nigh.
The QE2 will make two further showings in Scotland ,both in 2008.
The British Isles tour takes place at the end of September and the vessel is down for Glasgow visit(from Greenock) and Edinburgh (from South Queensferry)
Date for Greenock is October 5th and S. Queensferry is October 7th.
Enjoy.

I think you will find that pretty much every remaining voyage on the QEII timetable is fully sold out with waiting lists for cancellations. There are an awful lot of people who are very fond of that ship and, as with Concorde's retirement as soon as the end of service was announced, if you didn't book instantly, you had no chance.
I also tried for the maiden voyage of Queen Victoria in December but that was all snapped up within hours of going on sale...
