QE2 docked portside just before lunch i walk up 5 deck fwd crew gangway into our lobby-the sailors square.My dream had became true to work on the biggest,fastests and most famous ship in the world.Almost 9 years later and after 136 transatlantic crossings over 1000 days at sea,111 visits to New York,7 Panama Canal transit,3 Suez Canal transit,4 complete world cruise and 3 incomplete world cruise,with lots of good days and bad days too,that was the best time of my life.The QE2 is still part of my life and i am proud to be part of her life too.
Once onboard we were taken to the crew library on one deck fwd stb.side.We were a group of 40-50 new crewmembers.There we meet our head of deparments,we had a brief welcome speech,then papers given out with lots of ship information.The 2 most important papers are the MUSTER CARD for boat drill and the CAPTAINS MASTER ORDER.Afterwards we were lead to cabins ,my cabin was 503 on five back fwd stb.side.The showers and toilets were more foward of my cabin as you can imagine it is way way forward.Trying to do your needs there on FORCE 10-11 is an adventure.Later that afternoon we set sail for New Ýork,my first transatlantic crossing what a feeling that was.We done back to back transatlantic crossing returning to Southampton on the 22 of July.During theses 10 days is was a challenge trying to find your way around.
