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 […]

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 […]
