I haven't been paying enough attention to it recently, I'm afraid. Yes, this one is easy enough. That's Illuminations on QM2. Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted November 11, 2020 #452 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Here's a (pre-refit) picture. The dot at the far end of the corridor is the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-refit carpeting in the portside corridor on deck 11. The photo was taken early in the morning before anyone else was stirring. I asked the wife to go all the way to the aft end at the doorway out to the Grills deck, and I took the photo at the bow end by the scenic lifts and the door to the observation area.

sfred Posted November 12, 2020 #456 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi @Ray66. Crew muster drill in the Royal Arcade. Tough to tell whether QV or QE. Both have the overlapping floor squares, and you can't see the stairway clock in the photo, which is distinctive to each ship. The lighter wood shading suggests QE, so I'll toss my lucky coin and say QE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted November 12, 2020 #457 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It's QV. The little diamond pattern at the lower edge of the wood is the giveaway. QE has a zig-zag, or triangular pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sunrise taken on a westbound transatlantic. I love sunrises at sea - it is my favourite time of day when most of the ship is still asleep. I get a coffee and watch the sun come up out of the horizon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost. It is a sunrise on a westbound. And as @Colin_Cameronand @bluemarblejointly guessed, it is from deck 7 looking down on the stern port rail of deck 6. I was strolling around deck 7 with a coffee to watch the sunrise. An earlier photo taken further forward before I got to the stern showed the time as 6a. Seas were a flat calm, with QM2's bow wave being the highest swell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Simpson should be in this image just beneath the satellite dish to the left of the Statue of Liberty, but I think he's a bit too small (and worn down) to make him out clearly in this shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted November 13, 2020 #472 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This one is probably too easy, but I really loved the sign. It was hung on a stateroom door a little ways down the corridor from the cabin the wife and I had, and we passed it each day on the way to the staircase. It is applicable to only one Cunard ship.
