Just Like the "Old Days" in NY - September 2005

[Transatlantic Tom]

I just happened to notice that QE2 will be departing NY on September 13 for Southampton, and QM2 will be in NY on September 14, arriving from/returning to Southampton...

 

An "Elizabeth" in port one day, and a "Mary" the next day....both bound for Southampton....Is this 1965 ???

For the love of me I can't understand why they don't alternate runs across the Atlantic. NYC without the QE2 is like.... well I don't know what it is like I just know it stinks.

Afraid QE2 is not up to constant heavy transatlantic wear and tear any more - her aluminium (aluminum) superstructure is too fatigued and costly to repair.

Lucky you !!! I wish that my wife and I would be able to join you this crossing, and have that drink with you in the Commodore Club !!! Someday, I promise !!!

Tom !!!

 

If QE2 keeps going as long as the Ark then I'll be as old as Methusala before we get that drink on a quaint 'old QM2' !!!

 

All the best
