Before I get into the nuts and bolts of my Queen Elizabeth cruise review, let me say this. I have always dreamed of sailing on one of the Cunard Line ships and since that day when I booked our stateroom on MS Queen Elizabeth I have been so excited and counting down the days. […]

Report from the captains log, lol. Every day at 12 midday the captain announces our position and where we are heading, where we have been and the weather to be expected. Sort of like a daily update on the voyage. Day 7 – March 10th 2014 En route to Japan (Formal night) “Today we have […]
Papua New Guinea lush And Volcanic
We awake early to see the land of PNG, more specific the town of Rabaul, East New Briton and the volcano ‘Tavurvur’ smoking in the distance. We are very excited and ready ourselves to hit the top deck for some good views and photos opportunities as we approach the local marina (which is very much […]
Champagne Breakfast on Queen Elizabeth
This morning we decide to start the day with another pre-breakfast (trust me this IS a thing!) delivered to our room – complete with a mouth-wateringly fresh fruit platter, more of their addictive Danish pastries, freshly squeezed orange juice, tea and…..Champagne!

Yorky’s Knob, so Close Yet Still so Far
Day 4 – 7th March 2014 The (regrettably) quick Yorky’s Knob stop, then en route to Rabaul PNG. We awake at around 6.30am just as the ship is approaching Cairns. Trinity Beach is in view and the beautiful friends we were supposed to meet for lunch today can actually see MS Queen Elizabeth from their […]
Whitsunday Islands, Ahoy… I See Land

We are feeling refreshed and invigorated after an awesome night’s sleep. The bedding on the QE is like everything else here, – huge, luxurious and very, very comfortable – […]
Goodbyes… and Hellos – MS Queen Elizabeth here we come
Well, the Odyssey begins! And as we welcome and greet this exciting new beginning, we also bid very, VERY sad & emotional goodbye to our little munchkins – the nine cockatiels that we have loved and cared for, for so many years. I’ll try not to dwell on this part of our journey for long, […]
