QE2 Update …. finally the ball is rolling !!

Hi Everyone

Back in January i wrote a blog about the QE2 CLICK HERE TO READ

Well i now have an update on this once magnificent liner loved by so many Brits….. work is underway and the QE2 will as planned be renovated and turned into a floating hotel & museum and is apparently only months away from opening, but will it be attracting Cunard fans ? im not too sure !! A Website has now been set up QE2.com and features the text COMING SOON with a picture of the liner but if you scroll down you will see 3 young people probably in there early 30s holding drinks parting away under confetti so from this picture alone i think this renovation may not have loyal Cunard fans rushing to Dubai to stay on this ship. No details or plans have been released yet but im really hoping that Dubai will keep some of this ships charm and not renovate it completely to Dubai’s very modern cosmopolitan ways. Surely if they are going to have a museum on board they will keep this area as similar to the original decor as possible ?

you can now apply for a job in Dubai on board the renovated liner Via QE2.com i did go on and have a look to see what positions were available but it was just a general form, not for me obviously as i have too many commitments but it does sound like it would be a great experience. I know a few people who live & work in Dubai and love it.

Funny enough after i wrote my blog in January channel 5 featured a 2 part series all about the QE2 Featuring interviews with the crew and the workers who built her, cameras revealed the story behind the strikes and the looting epidemics that almost spelled the end of the ship before she was even finished. I have only watched episode 1 so will need to sit down with a glass on wine (of course) and watch the second episode)

Whats your thoughts, do you think they will keep any of the QE2 original features and will you be taking a visit to this floating hotel ?
