Why am I choosing Queen Elizabeth?

When my children were young (late 1980s) we went to see the Queen Elizabeth 2 when it was docked at Wellington, New Zealand. I was instantly besotted with cruise travel and the Cunard line. My father was an avid lover of all things to do with ocean travel and collected menus, tickets, photos and anything else he could find. He painted watercolour pictures of old sailing ships and steam ships... clearly I was brought up with a love of ocean liners.

In just over a week I get to board and sail on Queen Elizabeth - I am very excited and only wish this cruise was longer. I am actually sailing to Sydney to see my son (in the striped top and yellow shorts in the photo) who is now 40 and lives there. I can't wait!!

I'm not sure how to load an image - I hope this works!

Have a great cruise! And I hope you will share your thoughts about the QE when you are back.

Bon Voyage!

QE is a beautiful ship. Enjoy your time onboard!

What a lovely story, have a wonderful time.

I love Queen Elizabeth and in fact, prefer it to Queen Mary. Enjoy your cruise.

My husband and I are also sailing on the Queen Elizabeth for the first time in 2 weeks.

I'm hoping this photo works better - I'm experimenting with adding a photo - not sure how everyone else does it!

I prefer Queen Elizabeth over Queen Victoria .

 

More deck space for everyone.

Thank you - I'm glad you can recommend the Queen Elizabeth! I only wish we were onboard for longer... maybe another time :)

Scottygirl....Enjoy, what a nice story.
