I've often looked up at that bridge floor viewing portal from the deck 11 forward observation wing just below. I have a fear of heights, so taking that pic was equal parts terrifying and exciting.

Your comment about my photo of one of the QM2 paintings helped with this one. On 10/3/2020 at 6:29 PM, Lanky Lad said: As HH has said it's HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The painting was on the original Queen Elizabeth, then moved to Caronia (I think), then D Stairway on QE2 next to the exit from the Theatre Balcony. ... Then once again "theqe2story" website was of further assistance. I don't recall it from our one and only voyage on QE2, but I think this is the D stairway on QE2 near the theatre balcony.

Just testing. As you can see the picture of the Queen Mother on QM2 is only part of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it used to be displayed just outside the Chart Room. Where is that current location? I've no doubt seen it there, just don't seem to recall it. It looks like it is overlooking the Grand Lobby near one of the shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfred Posted October 18, 2020 #371 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The Boston Cup was carried into Liverpool cathedral in a grand procession during the concert on the 175th anniversary crossing. It was an impressive sight. Several voyages later, I had a conversation with Paul O'Laughlin (one of the Cunard entertainment directors, usually on QM2 but on QE on this occasion), and we got to talking about the 175th. Paul commented on how heavy the cup was, and his fear that they would drop it during the procession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
