Re: advice for pensioners
Thanks for that Rob.so sorry she has died, got to know her quite well over the years.
I am not surprised she didnt like the other Cunard ships, the QE2 was a home from home, everyone always went back on her and everyone knew each other. and since Cunard flagged out it changed out of all recognition, That is why we now go Holland America, They have not flagged out, still Rotterdam registery
Cheers
