chaprk Posted January 26, 2008 #26 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Great video! That looked like so much fun. I too hope we have a Calvacade between LA and NY. Is Doug the gentleman with the notepad? Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted January 26, 2008 #27 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Sounds good--I don't think I can go through that twice in three weeks. Nor me. Great video! That looked like so much fun. I too hope we have a Calvacade between LA and NY. Is Doug the gentleman with the notepad? Kris If by "notepad" you mean A4 clipboard, and directing the traffic, then yes. There are certainly plas afoot to have a cabin cavalcade between Los Angeles and New York. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJL Posted January 26, 2008 #28 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Presumably we'll do it between LA and NY? Given that a number are getting off at NY.... Matthew Yes please! I missed the Tandem Crossing cavalcade - my fault for being a dozy pillock. Mind you, the Heritage Trail with Thomas was a scream, as ever. Was worth being there just to see the looks of confusion in the Midships Lobby as you lot were passing through at a rate of knots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadadli1 Posted January 26, 2008 #29 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Diplomatically put. Might be me. I usually need a haircut:eek:. Hmm, could be. And thanks for the compliment Karie:o. Kyle, fantastic work as usual. We all look so busy. But I think you were working the hardest. And maybe Doug, who was good enough to herd us. It truly was a great afternoon. There must have been 35 people at least. Oh no, you don't need a haircut at all. I found you quite striking and you always caught my eye. That's why I had to ask. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadadli1 Posted January 26, 2008 #30 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Presumably we'll do it between LA and NY? Given that a number are getting off at NY.... Matthew Yes, please.

And maybe Doug, who was good enough to herd us. Thanks Tom! I wouldn't call it "working" though ;) Doug hasn't come around here since the crossing, he should drop in to take the props he earned.

guernseyguy Posted January 26, 2008 #34 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thomas... don't get me started... :eek: I look forward to hear him barging round the QV telling us "Sheee ish an Ozean liner......." Does anyone know what Thomas's plans post QE2 are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowaway2k Posted January 26, 2008 Author #35 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Does anyone know what Thomas's plans post QE2 are? He is apparently being retained in Dubai as an advisor/consultant to facilitate the conversion of QE2 into a museum and attraction, thus making safer the seven seas once again... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted January 26, 2008 #36 Share Posted January 26, 2008 He is apparently being retained in Dubai as an advisor/consultant to facilitate the conversion of QE2 into a museum and attraction, thus making safer the seven seas once again... :D I'm not sure if that is very sad or hugely encouraging. I know he wouldn't fit in on any other ship - he "is" QE2 - and if he has an involvement it will at least give someone who loves her, and understands what makes her so special, part of the project. Not that I think it will succeed - which would be even more sad for Thomas, surely? Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel-to-go Posted January 26, 2008 #38 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Oh no, you don't need a haircut at all. I found you quite striking and you always caught my eye. That's why I had to ask. ;) Angela, I'll fight you for him! Of course Mrs Tandem might object! <lol> Of course, then there's that "angelic" face on Matthew (who knew?) Now I understand how he might be a successful barrister. He charms them with that "innocent" face! As for tromping around through other folks cabins, Greg, You're in charge of arranging the one on the crossing! Assuming, of course, I don't get the fabulous upgrade to the penthouse apartments (or duplex or what have you). I will be showing off my Bibby corridor, which converts to a "Suite" with a separate living and sleeping area if you open the wardrobe doors, I understand! So if anyone asks, I will be in one of the aft Caronia "suites!" <LOL> Sorry we will miss you LANYs (LA to NYers) but we crossers will have our own special time. And of course, if anyone not participating from the LANY group is dying to see our cabin on the crossing without traipsing through (And being traipsed through), I suppose I could oblige. For certain considerations of course (like no knocking the mess or waking the sleeping bear! <LOL>) Karie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted January 26, 2008 #39 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Peter, Thomas is QE2 history. He's part of what makes the ship. Although I agree, his quality as a historian may not measure up to his quality as Senior Cruise Staff! Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transat_jon Posted January 26, 2008 #46 Share Posted January 26, 2008 28 cabins in total. 26 passenger cabins and the final cabin. Wondering why one individual was omitted....... Matthew My exact number of cabins is a bit of a guess. I have photos of two empty cabins (I thought this was one but realise two so may need to revise my figure) so didn't include them as I have no idea who they belong to, both on two deck I think. One individual did get missed and I will also send you the evidence for what I feel your true question is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
