Queen Elizabeth Visits QE2
By Dave | June 2, 2008
For the third time since Queen Elizabeth II‘s maiden voyage, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited the ship for the last time prior to the ship’s final departure from Southampton, England. The QE2 will make its final voyage in October, after which it will become a floating resort in Dubai. As part of the visit, a private reception of 300 guests was held. Also, the ship’s newest crewmember, Jennifer Haynes, was present to sound the ship’s whistle. This was done to salute the Queen Mary 2, which was also in port at the time.
While I’ve never sailed on Cunard, it’s sad to see such a famous ship nearing its end. It was very fitting, however, for The Queen to visit her before her final voyage. Her Majesty was also present before the QE2′s maiden voyage as well. So it seems it has come full-circle.
