Hi, Yes, We're booked on Caronia in July and QE2 in Aug. It's a bit late for the preview booking as we've had our names down for QM2 for over a year and a half.

2003 is getting closer all the time.

On board QE2 last two weeks ago, I asked the cruise consultants about getting on the waiting list for Queen Mary 2...they said the waiting list is closed, with 20,000 people on it. And to try to satisfy all 20,000, instead of an "inaugural voyage", they'll have an "inaugural year", so that each new itinerary during that year will be inaugural. So, I booked 2002 on the QE2 and will wait until the QM2 is out and about!
