QM2 Dubai to New York

[safarigal]

We will be on the final leg of QM2's world cruise - and I will be updating my blog - that is if the internet is working, and I can overcome my current struggles with Word Press.  https://whereissafarigal.wordpress.com/category/queens-2-queens/?order=asc. The trip is called Queens 2 Queens. I can't wait to be on QM2 :)

I'm really looking forward to reading all about QE2 and your World Cruise experience.

Bon Voyage

Safarigal,

The closest thing to being on QM2 is reading your blogs from the QM2. Can't wait.

I'm looking forward to your blog. I have it bookmarked and will check it regularly.

Same here....will be taking my first ever QM2 next August. Until then, I am sailing vicariously! 

[safarigal]

Thanks for following along :). We have got as far as the airport hotel where we are spending the night before flying to Dubai tomorrow. Not that I am going to get any sleep tonight, I am bursting with excitement, I simply can't wait to see QE2 and QM2 again!

Hi Lesley

 

Really jealous!!! It's now 11 years since we were aboard QE2. It was room 1028. I think Deck 1 is now being used again. I'd love to see what they've done to her.

 

Bon voyage.

In 2008 we were in 1001 - I wonder if they have renovated it yet :)

This is what it used to look like:

I'd forgotten those chairs: they were really comfortable, much more than they look.

...and here's where we dined every night for 17 days:

You - but I'm waiting for a decent internet connection before I post them! She is not the ship we know and love anymore, but I was surprisingly pleased by her current condition, and with a bit of imagination it felt like we really were on board again :)

Thank you. I am really enjoying the trip - Southampton today, and then off to New York this afternoon. This voyage is really going by too fast :)

Loving your work safarigal, can't wait to hear about the crossing.

[naturelovergirl]

Dear Safarigal

What a delight to read your blog today... it was informative and witty. Thank you for sharing your words and experiences with us!

May you and your sparkly top that spreads glitter everywhere have a marvelous crossing!

Dear Safarigal --

In January 2019, we sailed on the Queen Mary2 from New York to Dubai --- the opposite of your trip.  We enjoyed reading your blog and felt that we were reliving our cruise through you.   I found it interesting that the Choir did the same songs that we sang during the Crossing and the Southampton to Dubai segment.   I guess Andrew decided that the music we did was a big hit and he wanted to recreate it throughout the cruise.    However, I don't know how I would have felt repeating the same songs for each segment if I had been doing the full World Cruise. 

      Thank you for posting your blog.   We really enjoyed it -- plus, your photos were great!

       We would love to see any pictures that you took during your stay  on the QE2. 

        All our best,  Babscruiser

(P.S.  My husband never got up to dance either.)
