I was a passenger on QE2 and on the coach trip that delayed her departure from Quebec. Unlike other ports there was no official farewell at Quebec, but the people just came out to see us in their thousands and the sailaway was a wonderful occasion. It was one of the most emotional occasions of my life. Merci Quebec!

I wish she will still in service instead of wasting away in a terrible place.

Something is actually going on now. The ship has been moved, workers are on her, some parts, like the radar mast, are cleaned up and painted, they look like new, new lights , the lifeboats and davits are removed and so on... It seems that she will be a floating hotel in Dubai after all. You can find photos and comments on: theqe2story.com/forum/index.php/topic,7479.0.html

A floating hotel in a dreadful place like Dubai.....terrible fate.

Yes, but definitely better than a scrap yard. When nothing happened in the last few years I was afraid that she would be sold for scrap.

sealover should have been a museum, but at least it still lives.

She was one of the best ships ever to be called into service. They should just bring her back at this point considering how good she was.

All Cunard Queens have DEEP and COMMANDING voices, but NOBODY had QE2's....it was so strong and just let you know SHE was the Queen of The Seas...glad to see she's a luxury hotel/museum and being turned into her original form in most places. It's just the place I think was inappropriate. I thought she should've gone to Britain, or at least New York City and be a floating hotel THERE....oh well, the good thing is, she's preserved, she's quite popular, and Cunard is now using her as part of their pre/post-cruise packages for QM2 and QV!!! Awesome!!!

@Poopa Scoopa It's the superstructure, not the keel, that's made of aluminium. QE2 was in service from May 2, 1969 until November 27, 2008. That's almost 40 years.

how did they make her horn pulse like that? never heard another liner or cruise ship that sounds like her.

It's the beat frequency phenomenon - one of her two signal mast horns was slightly out of tune compared to the other (they were both meant to be 75Hz). The two horns were sounded together to create her unique "voice". Happy accident I suppose? Each horn could also be sounded separately as was also done during the noon day horn tests on every sea day. Many happy and vivid memories of sailing on QE2 as a child, such as visiting her bridge and photographing the control panel for her horns (three in total with the foghorn on the foredeck being the third).
