There is one thing that has been bothering me is how they are going to paint the hull and super structure of the ship, particularly if bad weather intervenes.

Can't wait to see her in person. :-) Just wondering .. will her promenade deck go 360deg, instead of the odd setup on QV where the deck is 'caged' at the front? A promenade deck that goes all the way around is much better than having to do an "about face" at each end. Enjoy your weekend! She’s coming along beautifully!!

Do you think HM Queen Elizabeth II will do that again with a 3 this time?" One would hope so, since the original Queen Elizabeth was named for her mother. Of course, the new vessel could be named for the present Queen, in which case it would be "QEII" - Queen Elizabeth the Second (II) as she is in life. Knowing that she is very particular about her image on stamps and coins, I feel sure that she would be just as particular about her name being used on a ship. “when Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II named QE2, she put the 2 on purpose, and that part of QE2’s name wasn’t planned.

This is really excitiing! That is absolutly amazing, having an entire Ocean Liner hull in 6 months! I think QE looks incredible and am extremely impressed with the speed with which Fincantieri builds her! I do have a question about her name though. I know that in 1967 when Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth IInamed QE2, she put the 2 on purpose, and that part of QE2's name wasn't planned. Do you think HM Queen Elizabeth II will do that again with a 3 this time? Kind regards, Anthony jr. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!
