440 paces on QM2

[bazzaw]

For those who have never sailed on QM2, the most amazing thing for me is her size. We had an interior cabin on deck 6 - the most forward one there is on that deck. We could walk from our cabin, down the corridor to a door which led out onto an exterior deck. It seemed to be quite a long way to me - so one day I paced it out. I don't have the longest legs around - but I did 440 paces before I could open that door. :) One thing you quickly learn on QM2 - is to not forget to take some item with you from your cabin - because it is ALWAYS a long way to go back to get it!! :D I do often wonder how elderly/infirm people cope with it - I found it exhausting enough!! :rolleyes:
