A gun salute was fired by members of Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna to welcome the ship.

Hi Kath, When are you going?

 

We want to try QE sometime. Have booked for August on Royal Caribbean for my birthday. We are sailing out of Venice and then returning to Venice for overnight before disembarkation.

 

Really wanted to book with Cunard but the dates did not fit, never mind.

Hi Catherine,

 

we go in September and it is similar to the trip we had this year but my husband wanted to try QE (I'm not so sure). One difference will be that this year's was 2 TAs and a middle cruise and the QE voyage is a whole round trip- UK to UK so no dis/embarkation in USA.

QM2 spoils us though doesn't she!

And probably to stop her reversing into the pier!
