The stigma around cruising on Cunard Line ships is that you need to be rich to cruise one of the three queens. Cruising has become very popular over the last few years and it’s no wonder why. With so many wonderful destinations available and with the knowledge that you unpack once and relax with everything […]

Good Bye Queen Elizabeth… Ohayou Gozaimasu Yokohama
Day 14 – March 17th, 2014. After disembarking the QE we took a taxi to the hotel (Jal City Yokohama). “Ohayou Gozaimasu Yokohama” The hotel Jal City is fresh looking and clean. The staff were over helpful as we checked in. The room was not ready so we stored the luggage and got onto the […]
Disembarkation From Our Voyage On Cunards Queen Elizabeth
Day 14 – March 17th 2014. “Arrival in Yokohama – Queen Elizabeth disembarkation” Disembarkation day is always a very sad one on any cruise and again no exception here. We have met some great people and made some new friends. It has to be said that the ship was awesome and without her none […]
I Feel Like James Bond On Queen Elizabeth
Day 10 – 13th March 2014 En route to Japan. I woke to the sound of Moni talking to Maria who brought our morning tea & juice… I’d pre-ordered it for 7.30-7.45 and it was exactly 7.30am, the service is very very good. So I enjoyed my tea in bed. Moni has a slight sore throat […]
Galley Tour On Queen Elizabeth – Cruising The Doldrums
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! Day 5 – March 8th, 2014 En route to PNG. “We are celebrating the […]
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
This is what I love about a balcony cabin, the fresh sea air, the sound of the water splashing off the hull. I can’t get enough. We keep the door ajar throughout the night so to get the whole “at sea” experience. Day 3 – 6 March 2014. Arrived – Whitsunday Islands I wake up […]
First Day on Board the Queen Elizabeth
First morning on board MS Queen Elizabeth – at Sea en route to Whitsunday Islands. SUNRISE. The weather is stunning. Day 2 – March 5th. 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 – […]
