patwell Posted November 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2006 HAMBURGCruiser...very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure we'll all want to see the progress, especially those of us booked on the first cruises after the pod repair! Cheers, Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuranzuMaru Posted November 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2006 The current repairs do not start until the 11th November but the site below may get something (it is in German but it is easy to navigate) http://www.schiffsphoto.de/HTM/Cruise/QM2/QM2_Werft_2005.htm If anyone knows of any photos of the May dry dock and the actual damage to the pod I would be very interested to see them. I think that Cunard may have embargoed them?!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guernseyguy Posted November 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2006 As I write, the QM2 is in the Western Approaches, past the Scillys en-route for Southampton tomorrow morning: http://aisfree.aislive.com/Influx.aspx?Map=South%20West%20Approaches So tomorrow we should be able to track her progress to Hamburg.

The second in the series has a remarkable shot of QM2 turning around, and the fourth captures the sound of the horn. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The webcam of HansaTreuhand is not showing the QM2 but a Container Terminal opposite their office. The RadioHamburg webcam is changing views from time to time but presently having the best direct view on QM2 in the Blohm & Voss dock of all the webcams you find at www.htk-hamburg.com Try some others by just clicking in the picture to enlarge it. You will find her at "St.Pauli Landungsbrücken", "Cap San Diego" (just the rear), "Hamburg Hafen" (from time to time)," Blick auf Blohm + Voss Schwimmdock" (hidden behind the floating dock) Good viewing:) Joe PS: We made a TA with the QM2 from NY to Hamburg in July 2006 and now my wife and I are infected an booked already Norway and Caribic for 2207 and 2008. This is surely the best infection we have ever suffered from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgsmuzzy Posted November 13, 2006 #24 Share Posted November 13, 2006 the weather there is terrible! I saw her last night on one of the cams as she was lit up like a Christmas tree, I will look at all of those cams again later in the hope that the weather will have improved ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
