...because today is the day I'm going to look around the new Queen Elizabeth, and because I'm so excited I'm ready an hour early and sitting waiting for my lift.
I watched her arrive in Southampton on the news yesterday and as always was amazed. Cruise ships have such glamour and prescence as they sail along. They simply command that everyone looks at them. A fantastic feat of engineering and design.
I haven't been on board a Cunard ship before, despite working in the business for so long and I'm really looking forward to it. They have always been the ultimate cruise line renowed for their service and style. This year I've been lucky enough to be entertained on P&O's Azura and Norwegian Epic, both very good ships and very different. Azura was stylish and sleek in a cosmoplitan kind of way, whereas Epic was bold, colourful and full of toys and entertainment.
Queen Elizabeth I imagine will be like stepping back in time with her grand staircases and bowling green. My favourite so far this year is Azura, I think I will like Queen Elizabeth but at the moment don't think she would necessarily be my first choice for a holiday, perhaps a bit too refined for me. I'll wait and see this afternoon.
Ah Jo,
ReplyDeleteYour day has arrived but sadly without David and myself as your security escorts.
Actually today is Sunday so I was hoping to see your review but I understand if its an overnighter.
If I could wave a wand over you then I know that you would be clothed in a wonderful outfit and look great. Well you look great regardless.
Point is you would enjoy the Old World Charm on a Ship built for today, You would be a very happy lady.
Cheers /Rob
