Some more great pics there Joe. I am too ill to get to Liverpool tomorrow , I hope you will be there to get some of your wonderful camerawork on the Queen Mary 11 when she sails into her berth. I'd been so looking forward to seeing her for real, I look forward to seeing some lovely pics on Yo later this week,

Hi Brian,
If you cant make it to Liverpool to see the Queen Mary 2, on Tuesday here are a few photos of her on the maiden voyage in 2004.
I was looking forward to going but I am not allowed to drive until I am cleared by the surgeon on 18 November due to the Op on my shoulder.
She will be a magnificent sight along side the Stage.
She is the biggest Liner in the world. in length, width and height. some cruise ships like the `Wotsit of The Seas` have a larger gross tonnage.
The photo from the wing of the bridge shows four blades of the Pods, on the fore deck, an American passenger said to me,"Hey, these are magnificent sculptures" I had to tell him they were spare prop blades. he was not amused.
Photos of the Restaraunts, the Spa pool.
One of QM2 and QE2 in New York from the Empire State Building.
A picture of one of four Propulsion Pods, Shirley Bassey on stage in the theatre, views of the bridge or wheelhouse. 147 feet wide, and me with Commodore Ron Warwick now retired.
Forget the kids inheritence, book a voyage on her.
I`ve always had a big head it was 7 :3/8ths at 9 years of age and unable to get a cycle helmet to fit me nowQuote:

The door opens inwards, so the door is probably open most of the time. Looks a mighty fine drop there too.Quote:

They dont have the old First Class Second Class etc anymore.
They go by the Restaraunt you book for. The top suites are the Grills, Queens Grill, Princess Grill, They have beautiful suites, big Private balconies, upstairs and downstairs on two decks, some have private Butler 24 hours, private lift, His and Hers marble bathrooms with gold taps, also a guest bathroom. bedroom, lounge and dining room for private entertaining with your butler service.
Then Britannia Restaraunt, the cabins are ,... inside cabin, outside Ocean View cabin. Hull Balcony cabin on deck five and six then glass balcony cabins on deck eight upwards., dont book deck eight balcony cabin they have a wonderful view of the side of a lifeboat, instead of the ocean..All varuious prices, cheapest is Inside cabin.
All the ships facilities are for everyone.
CORRECTED.
Top ones, Is Deck five Hull Balcony cabins
Is Deck 4 Ocean view cabins
Is Deck 3 is the Queens Room,
Is Deck 2 Golden Lion Pub
Nice photo Joe. At the bottom there's a door with a no exit sign. Wonder why.
5 the shell door with the `No Exit` sign on was open and the sign would be facing inboard. obviously someone has partly closed it. It would probably have a small gangway to it
I've been reading a load of Clive Cussler tosh called 'Plague Ship'. Off work sick with a double whammy of a chest and kidney infection and have to pass the time somehow.
Anyway, at one point the hero swings from his own ship to the cruise ship, via a grappling iron and rope. He swings against a large porthole and crashes through, unharmed, into the ship.
Absolute rubbish - that thick and reinforced glass would have been left with nothing but a bloody smear on it and our hero would have slid down the side of the ship to become fish food.
Get well soon Kevin. Don't go wetting the bed with that kidney infection. You probably loused up your tapping off chances too.Quote:

You're a mine of information on ships Captain. You certainly know your stuff. Keep it up.Quote:

Don't you believe it Kevin, worked for me.Quote:
