Nope, rather angular and looks a bit like a container freighter.

It looks a wee bit like Norwegion Epic, which looks very top heavy, and ready for a Poseidon incident.

Cracking day here, lovely and sunny all day and very warm. Sat out for breakfast then stayed out all day. I even got the shed painted.

Queen Anne is apparently (I looked it up I'm not a ship nerd!!) a Pinnacle class ship only Holland America has the 2 other ships of the class so far.

 

I like the look of it, I always think that the colour scheme of Cunard ships is more attractive and traditional than some other cruise lines.

Never judge a book or ship for that matter by it's cover as they say .

We like the look of her but doubt we will ever see artistes dangling from the roof 

or water slides aboard her  . We would not say no to a jaunt on her .

Looks like they just added balconies and windows to a stack of containers, perhaps designed by AI. 😂

Well I must say we had an enjoyable time joining the flotilla for Queen Ann and here’s when Ventura passed. 

[Fionboard]

Quite like it, but a bit Lego ish.

Mmmmm. Jury's out for me. Her backside looks a bit like a roll on roll off ferry. I'm a bit disappointed.

I was just reading our MP's monthly newsletter and was amazed to see that we now have a bus service from our area.  I may give it a try the next time I need to go into the city centre rather than take the car.

I can no longer winge that I have a bus pass but no bus. 🤣

She's lovely.  Actually looks like a Cunard ship, the jury is out until I see inside her on the 24th but so far I'm pleased. She's actually smaller than Ventura which is a step.in the right direction after Arvia and Iona.

I agree megabear she’s not ugly at all and quite small to  Ventura when she passed, I enjoyed my day

I'm glad you and @Purdey16 had an enjoyable day. Thanks both for posting the photos.

Afterwords we stopped at the Dancing man brewery in Southampton and had a lovely dinner

It was a great to be out there on the water. I thought the boat crew were excellent as well and made it really enjoyable.  I'm glad you enjoyed it as well.

MB if you check her stats theres not a great deal of difference between her and Ventura, she is quite a bit a longer than Ventura but a tad narrower, and her passenger and crew numbers are very similar. In fact she will carry far more passengers than the other 3 Queens.

Agree. Looks like it has been built with plastic building bricks from Denmark.

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you were as lucky as me, getting 7 hours of sleep.  It makes such a difference to your morning mood, doesn't it.  All the nicer because it is not the norm.

 

A bit misty here in the East Mids., but it is May and going to be reasonably warm later.

 

Have a good day, if at all possible!
