October 13 - The Ship

Queen Elizabeth is essentially a twin sister of Queen Victoria..... so having done the maiden world cruise on Victoria, we have the advantage of already knowing our way around this ship. They are so alike that every time we round a corner, we half expect to run into one of our "mates" from QV. (Sure wish we would.... we miss you all a lot!) There are a few differences.... QE has a boxier stern to allow for more cabins (thumbs down) and the decor in the Royal Court Theatre is blue rather than red (thumbs up!) Elizabeth has also gone green. Your room card key must now be in a slot by the door to activate the electricity in your cabin....so no charging our camera batteries during dinner. Here is a look at some areas of the ship.....


Theatre boxes in the Royal Court Theatre.

The spiral stairway in the library.

The stairway in the Britannia dining room.

I am awed by the beauty and majesty of the ship, especially the Royal Court Theatre. But.....Does the popcorn compare with the Cabot's.

It's a shame you folks go so downmarket for your vacations. I can imagine Chuck in a deck chair, saying: "Beaulah, peel me a grape!"
Great blog, Susan. Feel like we're there. The hood is the hood. John has all the political signs up--a roadmap of who NOT to vote for--winds were 45 mph yesterday, gorgeous today. Miss you guys.

With Sarah and Matt on their Carnival (yes - yikes!) cruise, Grandma June and I are the only Bridges left without water under them! ;o( Not sure their blog has a chance of being quite as spectacular...!
