By Steven –
Let’s have a tour of the ship, shall we?
Here are a few shots from around the ship. Most are from embarkation day, but others throughout the voyage. I’ll start with these from near the bow of the ship. Any guesses at to what these are? [David and Tony – no fair for you to guess, you should already know!]
Here are some other random day-time shots-

On the second night of the crossing, I found myself awake at 2:30 in the morning. Couldn’t go back to sleep so I thought it would be a perfect time to wander about the ship and make some photos. This turned out to be a really good decision. Almost no one was about. For the first 1/2 hour or so, I didn’t see another sole – was actually, a little bit creepy as it felt like I was on some kind of ghost ship – Spooky!
I was actually amazed that pretty much all public areas of the ship were accessible. I full run of the ship all to myself.
Around closer to 3:30 or thereabouts more of the crew was stirring as they began to prepare for breakfast and a few other sleepless passengers were wandering about. I think it was some of the entertainment, either the dancers or the RADA actors (or both?) were having a small party in the aft G32 disco lounge.

Just catching up! These are wonderful photos. These really show the magnitude of the ship and their rooms are so pristine. I want to go someday!
Great photos. Thank you!!!! I mostly remember the great staircase.
The chefs made anything we asked for. I remember a man at out table asked for apple pie.
They baked one for him, served him a piece, and sent the rest with him that evening.
Don’t forget to look for the Cheramoyas.
This seems like a nice retirement cruise.for Dave and I. Beautiful ship and pictures aren’t so bad either! 😉
Any sounds or feeling of motion? The place is huge, all very well done, even at 2:30 am.
Eric, a little pitch and roll but not too bad, quite gentle. What did surprise us was that you constantly feel and hear the vibration of the engines/prop/waves throughout the ship. Took a night to get used to but once off the ship it was odd to not have it.
just awesome pictures, so much fun to see all these sights we will probably never see in person. Keep the pictures coming. Have fun!
I give — what are those two gray things ?
Loved the tour Steven.
Hey, You guys are doing great with the pictures and writing of the travel. And to think we gave up the QE 2 for a river boat on the Ganges Rives. Keep enjoying yourselves.
Love Mom and Dad
