Topic: The Original Queen Mary

I was lucky enough to spend a few nights onboard the 'Queen Mary' at Long Beach. Anyone else been?

Back when I was a lad, I did a crossing in this 3rd. Class cabin.
Not the greatest!




On the return trip, I got upgraded!

No, but I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon on the Royal Yacht Britannia whilst it was still in service to HM.

Careful you will be busted back to cook
Splice the main brace
Now let's take the new ones to find the golden rivet

Here's two more views -of a QM Suite!







Very fancy!


..and the en suite bathroom!!

Stayed onboard her a few days last October in one of her wonderful suites. Sunday brunch is a must. Throughly enjoyed all she had to offer. And she is being well looked after. Looking forward to a return visit for New Year.

Yes, it's a beautiful ship. My father watched her being launched at Clydebank. The art deco bar was glorious in to have a drink. I also loved the 3 bath taps...one to run cold salt water!! Over 140 exotic woods were used in building her. Just marvellous. Now I'm off on the QM2 for the 2010 world cruise!! Sigh....
