Good morning Jacyn. Here are some memorabilia that might be of interest and also to some of the older Cunarders, from the time I immigrated to Canada.
The QE was a great trip and the people on my table were great. Here is a postcard mailed from the Queen Mary to me in Toronto in August 1953.
Continue to have a ball and hi to your Mum.
Richard

Thanks all for the well wishes. --
Must be off now and find dear mum and see what trouble we can get into...

Cheers!

Jaycyn stick with the G&T and you and mum will have no problem getting into trouble

[Jacyn Wade]

I do believe you're right, John. Tried my first martini the other night - better to stick with the G&T.

Brian, the Master is Kevin Oprey. Haven't met him yet but perhaps tomorrow. (And no, that's not me on the left...)

Thanks for the memorabilia, Richard. Very interesting. My dad was on Queen Mary in '52 and '54.

I am ashamed to have to admit that I lost my sea legs yesterday and had to visit the purser's office for some little pills. Not a good showing for the girl of a seafaring family!! Yesterday was rather unpleasant and it was just announced that we had gale force winds last night, so I suppose I'm somewhat vindicated. In any event, it's much nicer today and the fog has lifted, or we've sailed out of it, and I'm feeling much better. Passed a car carrier in the distance, which was rather exciting.

Heading back on deck now. Thanks all for the posts. Will keep you updated.

Cheers!

jacyn don't worry about sea sickness admiral nelson was sea sick all the time after a couple of days you can ride the masts. enjoy your trip it will stay with you for years take it all in every second of it. jp

[Rob Hollis]

Jacyn! Them ould boats with stabilisers would make a figurehead sick. Get yerself and mum down to the pig for an evening... if there still is such a thing.

[Lou Barron]

Hi Jacyn very nice to hear that you enjoying your trip to sea
The G&T will help you to enjoy it more but dont overdo it
Hope that when you get ashore you dont have the Western Ocean roll
