Simply the Beth - Queen Elizabeth.

Sunday morning I disembarked the grand and simply wonderful Cunard ship, the brand new Queen Elizabeth. A beautiful ship that gloriously pays tribute to her predecessors, the Queen Elizabeth and QE2.

She has very usual grey looking Hull at the moment – perhaps this is still waiting for the famous black banding and a odd boxy looking stern, but although personally I found this a bit strange to look at from a distance, as we got closer, it was evident that this allows for extra balcony staterooms, a lounge deck and a games deck as well. There are so many little nooks to find, that I didn’t even find the Garden lounge until we were at breakfast in the lido restaurant, however Saturday was a little rushed when we got on board due to traffic in the town holding us up.

We were treated to a breathtaking video of the build and her sea trials and boy she looked good! I was sat on the ship and wanted to be on the ship if that makes any sense!!

I will endeavour to get the photos on here soon; I have some fabulous ones of the Queens staterooms. I personally stayed in a Princess grill stateroom – one of the bonuses of sharing with cruise.co.uk management perhaps!! But I was actually really impressed with the size of the room, in particular, the bathroom, which had a full size bath, over bath shower, exquisite black granite vanity unit and sink, there was a lot of storage space – little shelves for your essentials, usually overlooked in replace of ascetics. The walk in wardrobe which housed an exclusive Cunard dressing gowns and slippers was very big – with storage space for cases and such like. Also a neat little slot under the beds was perfect for hiding your case away and keeping the space neat.


All in all I will say the following words in summary – Stunning, breathtaking, exquisite, luxury beyond compare; fixtures and fitting are luxurious and completely perfect for the environment. The décor and art fit and compliment each other magnificently.
