Where is this staircase and where does it lead?

 

 

Deck 11 aft on QM2 leading up to outside on Deck 12?

Quite right, bluemarble.

Correct.  Those tall chairs look nice, but I didn't think they were very comfortable.

This is the last time I let my friend arrange a blind date.

The first time I saw those tall Golden Lion chairs, I thought they would be an ideal place from which to hatch an evil plan for world domination.  But unfortunately I found them very uncomfortable also, and on all subsequent visits I quaffed my pints of bitter and formulated evil plans from other seats.

How about this from a former Cunard ship.

 

 

A clue, it was taken in 2002 or 2003 on Caronia.

[Host Hattie]

For bonus points which deck and staircase ?

How did I miss this one?

 

Taken from the Garden Lounge looking into the White Star Bar, although I still think of it as the North Cape Bar.

From memory, D stairway. Deck ..... 2? It did move around from time to time.

[Host Hattie]

It was on Deck 3 when this was taken in September 2008.

I have the same photo. But you've cropped out the deck directory at the right😄. And mine is too small to read the deck number.

Good spot, here's the full version

Correct.  I only sailed on Caronia twice, but enjoyed each trip.  She was a lovely ship.

It moved around so much that they lost track of it. Which wasn't a major issue until the next certification inspection was due and they realised that one thing a ship must have is a bell! The problem was solved by sending someone ashore to buy a little handbell that lived on the bridge until the ship was sold. I wonder if it ended up in Dubai as well?

Did we ever discover what HH's maroon-coloured drink was?
