Bon Voyage to those on Queen Anne today

[Host Hattie]

We came very close to joining you but couldn't quite make it work.

Have a wonderful trip, especially the festivities in Liverpool.

Bon voyage from me as well to all those on Queen Anne's British Isles Festival Voyage. I've been watching the departure on the Solent Ships YouTube channel and will be following along as much as possible for any coverage of the naming ceremony in Liverpool.

 

For those who may be interested, here are the counts reported to Southampton VTS during departure this evening.

 

Queen Anne - May 24, 2024:  2,546 passengers; 1,249 crew

if I may purloin your input to the previous sailing. So running about 400 or so passengers below the maximum.

Perhaps as well in view of the luggage probs. And still very few children, I should imagine.
