Millieloulou Posted January 28 #1 Share Posted January 28 As The Icon of the Seas has been launched with the assistance of Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami team mates, and the Royals may be busy perhaps they could consider a British footballer? Maybe Steven Gerrard , as he use to play for Liverpool? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted January 28 #2 Share Posted January 28 (edited) So why Steven Gerrard especially has he doesn't live in UK at the moment and what has the connection of Liverpool to do with QA. I am sure Cunard could do far better than any overrated and overpaid footballer. Edited January 28 by majortom10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WantedOnVoyage Posted January 28 #3 Share Posted January 28 Well, QUEEN ANNE is built in Italy, registered in Bermuda, owned by an American conglomorate, has a Danish captain and probably will have fewer than 100 British subjects in her crew. So there's that.... Maybe it's time to put the artifice of "Ships of State" afforded royal christenings to bed in an era of international mishmash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted January 28 #4 Share Posted January 28 Worrying thing is Sun Princess have cancelled maiden cruise due to delayed delivery from Fincantieri. Hope this doesn't have an impact on QA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted January 29 #5 Share Posted January 29 That is concerning. The cancellation came with only 2 weeks notice according to reports I have read. 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that she has done some sea trials the problem is probably tech / engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted January 29 #7 Share Posted January 29 There is a post on social media stating that QA sea trials start this coming Friday - 2nd February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will then be snagging list to rectify before acceptance. Note that on AIS she is shown as Italian flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted January 29 #9 Share Posted January 29 It's also interesting to note that her destination indicated by AIS is Palermo. There is a Fincantieri facility in Palermo, so perhaps that's her next stop after her sea trials. Just speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinetraffic is reporting her average speed as 10 kn and maximum speed as 10.1 kn which is rather bizarre as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
