1948 when I was a young boy my mother bought me to NY on the Queen Elizabeth to visit two of her sisters who had moved to NY from the UK. One of my aunties was a journalist for the Daily Express and she worked on This is NY column. It was a wonderful experience. We did the journey three times, six ships from 1948-1951, mostly the Elizabeth and the Queen Mary, one trip was the Ils de France I remember the bullion at 11am on deck, rubber rings, dancing in the ballroom and as the ship heaved everyone would finish up in one corner, then another, first run movies and wonderful food. My family all used Cunard so when I was 18 I saved up and returned to NY on the Queen Elizabeth again.
Now, present time I saw my last surviving aunt off to London last summer, the Mary Looked wonderful and now I want to do the trip again, compare notes

I well remember the guest choir which James of the Cunard Singers produced on board QE2. What fun and there was great appreciation from the less able singers to be able to perform on stage (some of whom had never done so before). As a singer myself I know what a stress buster singing can be – maybe there should also be a crew choir.

Congratulations to all the staff who won awards for their own effort in their selected profession.
A special Congatulation to BOBBY CADIAC, for winning the fruit and veg carving. We have known him for at least 15 years on his home (QE2) He used to cook the best minute steaks and burgers in the PAVILLIOIN (snack) BAR. He also carved a large chunk of QE2 soap into a SWAN, which we still have at home (7 years ago) Sorry we will not see him again on our next trip (Q.M) but we may meet again on the new Queen Elizabeth later this year,thats if he does not stay with the Q.V.
All the best to Bobby and his family.
Margaret & Dave

Cunard is returning to the charm of yesteryears. An invitation to lunch on the QM2, in Sydney, was accepted fully, within hours. Many of our friends, were disappoointed, in being unable to be part of the innovative expression of the charm of the Ship. Hopefully, when Q.E. berths in Sydney in February, 2011, the invitation to lunch and view the new Queen shall be available to all who apply. Congratulations to the forward thinking of Cunard.

I think it is absolutly wonderful and charming, that Cunard and further more QV, is supporting the fight for Breast cancer. At my new school many women have died very young of breast cancer, so this is good to see and hear. Great!
