crouton
great report!
am sailing 24th may, and after reading your report am getting really excited.
i will be travelling with my sister, 60+, my daughter, 16 and son 11, i am 44.
- are there likely to be other children onboard?
- am i right in thinking that there are gentlemen to dance with if you are a single lady?
- can the children just go and eat when and where they like during the day?
thanks

There were at least 5 gentlemen hosts on the 1/31/04 voyage. I have a friend from the UK that used to be one. Yes, they dance with all the single ladies...where I saw them was in the Queens Room

WOW...it was over a year ago that I was cutting through the North Atlantic's inky waters with Crouton, JP, Nathan, et al. onboard the RMS QUEEN MARY 2. It was certainly a trip that will be long remembered. Seeing the QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 off of our side throughout the trip, to me, was the highlight of the crossing. Also traveling at such a fast speed on a majestic liner made the crossing even more spectacular. There were times when we were doing 29 knots.

This year I was on a majestic sternwheel steamboat DELTA QUEEN heading up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers the last week of April. Our break-neck speed was at times 5.5 miles per hour. Above Louisville we were making over 6 miles an hour. Both trips were wonderful, and both were celebrations of maritime history. Either end of the cruising spectrum were represented. I am truly blessed to have experienced both, and like the crossing the year before, this trip too will be etched in my memory.

I think it must be an amazing sight to see the QE2 from the QM2. Thank you for sharing your impressions and information about your cruise. We are looking forward to our turn in July.

Thank you!
