A number of rumors surfaced this week related to Cunard's Queen Mary project. One report said that Cunard had already placed an order for the new ship with the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Germany. This is not true. While the shipyard will be re-furbishing three of Cunard's current fleet this fall, it has not been selected to build the new vessel. Additionally, the British newspaper The Mail on Sunday incorrectly reported that the new ship's name would be Queen Mary II. Industry sources tell us the ship's name will actually be Queen Mary 2, (i.e. the second ship to bear that name) just as Cunard's other liner is Queen Elizabeth 2 rather than Queen Elizabeth II.

The original Queen Mary was just know as 'Hull 534' until she was christened/launched by the ruling monarch.
I too will believe it when I see it...

You gave me a laugh this morning - about the Queen Vic, I am afraid I stopped watching Eastenders back in the Den and Angie era, how long ago was that? But I do know that its a pretty depressing show, but your description was so funny giving them all jobs on the ship. However, talking about television, if you seen the celebrities Holiday program last night, one of the current characters from Eastenders (I cannot even remember his name) did have some real good taste, because he chose to come to good old Scotland for his holiday.....back to the topic, does anyone know if, when and where will the QM2 be built?? What happened to the chap that posted on this site saying he had some insider knowledge??? I forget his name!!
