Cunard have been having all their refits and dry docking done there for years.
They should say to them , If you do not refit here then don't bother coming here for passengers Ban them.

Re: Queen Mary 2 Refit at Hamburg.
If I recall she was built in France and the Victoria was fitted out in Italy. There was a time, maybe a year or so ago, LOL when such great ships were built in great country. If memory serves it was called Great Britain, but it may well have gone now.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Queen Mary 2 Refit at Hamburg.
Agree with you there Brian, spent time on a floating Dry Dock in Hamburg on the "Port Brisbane" March to April 1954.
Wondered at the time why we had to go over there when we had dry docks here, but it did give us time to explore the
bombed U-Boat pens while we were there...amongst other things.
