Queen Mary II back on the up!

You may recall my blog a few weeks back about the Queen Mary II failing a Health & Safety inspection back in June. Well the good news is the ship underwent another surprise inspection in New York by the Department & centres for disease controls on the 27th July and passed with flying colours.
The pass mark is 86 and back in June the ship only scored 84, this time around she earned a respectable 92.

One of my regular passengers was all praise talking about the ship last week. She has sailed with Cunard many times and had commented previously that she thought standards were slipping but having just returned from a recent voyage she commented there has been a noticeable improvement on board.
Even better news, Cunard have just advised the ship will be going in to dry dock in November. The word is all staterooms and many public areas will undergo a refurbishment although exact details are yet to be released.
