For some reason i admire moments when two sister ships meet like this. I imagine what they say to each other if they could talk...

We were on a Red Funnel Ferry to the Isle of Wight - with our fingers crossed that we would time it to 'sail' at the same time as the QM2. We couldn't have got it better (fotunately!)

We were stood on the stern of QE2 when QM2 sailed past us. I remember I got stuck behind a group of Japanese who were faffing about and I ran like hell up to the boat deck to see them pass. Great days.

A beautiful piece of history captured for all to see. Thank you. I have performed on the Queen Mary 2 but never got the chance to do that on the QE2 . P.S. i love the commentary by the children .

I spent the morning having a tour around QE2. I was then right on the dockside on the night she left for the last time.

yes she will, but don't worry the era of golden age of ocean travel won't end Cunard will see to that, QM2, QV, QE, will bring it all back to life.

Hope you enjoyed the video I took ! Although I think waiting to bord the QE2 might have been at least as good :-)

I know, but this time was the last time they were ever to meet in their home port of Southampton. Next time will no doubt be in Dubai....

What a perspective! Were you on the Queen Victoria?
@jonathancallow43515 жыл бұрын
You're right... for now at least.... I'm guessing that at some point QM2 will pay a visit to QE2 in Dubai ?
@jonathancallow43515 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but you are wrong. This is the last goodbye from their home port. QE2 set sail for a tandem crossing to NY, with QM2, on 10th October and returned to Southampton on 22nd October. QM2 then set sail, said, "Goodbye" and several hours later QE2 left. So this was 12 days after you saw them.
