These days of uncertainty, I thought it nice to remind our board that Cunard celebrates its 180th anniversary.

 

A historic company. Allmost no other current cruise company can claim such a record.

 

I found this video on YouTube. Some points may be exaggerated, but generally it summarizes nicely some of Cunard's unique aspects. 

 

I hope posting it here is not against the regulations.

Happy 180th Anniversary to Cunard Line.

 

We remember Celebrating the 150th on the QE2 and what a celebration on board transiting the Panama Canal to the East Coast.

 

The great on deck parties and celebration balls in the Queens Room..

Happy 180th from us also! 

 

The wife and I were on the 175th anniversary on QM2, Hamburg-Southampton-Liverpool-Halifax-Boston-NY.   It was a wonderful crossing, ranking at the top of all our Cunard voyages.  The cathedral concert in Liverpool, and celebrations and fireworks in Halifax and Boston, remain very fond memories.

In any case, Cunard can celebrate its survival over many adversities throughout all these years, some of them much more severe than the Covid-19. 

 

This conveys a message of hope in this case, too.

Well said RoberRraves, I completely agree.

Yesterday I went on YouTube and listened to Queen Elizabeth's April 6th COVID-19 speech. It brought me to tears, again. When one considers the situation Britain faced in 1939, the Queen's words should be taken strongly to heart.
