Hi Alistair, I must say my friend and myself were very pleased with the entertainment on Med. Treasures cruise 2-18th September, especially Kenny Smiles, I saw him on my very first cruise in the Caribbean, also good to chat with you re Children in Need cruise which we shall also be on in May. Look forward to meeting with you again. Keep up the good work, nice to see a cruise director mingling with the passengers.

ALastair,

Thank you so much for this nice video.

You said in it that Queen Victoria will come to Venice in November. Does this mean that work will be done on her? If so, will there be changes in the passenger spaces?

I have booked a cruise on her in December and I am curious about potential alterations.

Again, many thanks. Keep up the good work!

Another wonderful blog and some equally impressive photos of Queen Elizabeth from a different perspective – albeit from 200ft in the air – rather you than me!

I would like to point out an obvious mistake, the RMS Queen Mary sailed in to New York for the final time on September 27th 1967 and not 1938 as quoted being that she left Southampton for final time in late October 1967 for Long Beach, California.

All the best

Christian

Alastair:

Wonderful views, so glad you had the guts to go up in that crane!!! Spectacular!!!
Sorry to be picky, but the last time the Queen Mary came into NY couldn’t have been in 1938. Think it must have been a misprint!! Always waiting for more news, thank you so much!

QE2 made her maiden call at Boston in 1971. The call was part of a celebration conducted annually by the “Ancient and Honorable” military regiment (The “Drum Head” celebration). The group later that day sailed to Europe in QE2. I had been invited on board for a reception (held in the Queen’s Room). It was that visit that enticed me to book a crossing for me and my family from NY in June of 1972. Although we returned in the France, we fell in love with “GBTT” and sailed in her 43 times thereafter. I have a lovely, but quite sad, photo of her leaving Newport harbor (near where we live) for the last time — just as she passed Beaver Tail Light at the outer limit of the harbor.
