Alistair,

In the furture cunarders will there be another RMS’s and ocean liners to come or do we have the uncertain future of the MS’s and vita ships?
Althougth as long as they are cunarders im not that fussed

Great stuff Alistair,

Cant believe she now looks like a ship in such a small space of time. Counting down the weeks/months until my trip on her. Looking forward to the next post on thursday.

I just cannot believe how quickly Queen Elizabeth has grown since the first block was laid down in the dry dock back in July.

This is a proud testament to shipbuilding and the advances that have allowed this to happen.

I’m interested to know what the Queen’s ‘voice’ (her horn/whistle) will sound like? Will it be the same as iconic QE2 or that of the first Queen Elizabeth?

Looking forward to part 2 of the video.

Thanks for all of your comments, it really was a great day and i’m glad you enjoyed the video – there’s more footage to come this week.

In response to Dan’s question, the plaque on Queen Elizabeth reads ‘M.S Queen Elizabeth’ because she will not be designated a Royal Mail Ship (RMS). Queen Mary 2 is an RMS and Queen Victoria is an MS (Motorship).

Cheers, Alastair

Amazing to see the progress in such a short time span. Looking forward to seeing her come into her new home of Southampton
