We have just had our booking confirmed on Queen Mary 2 and we are very excited. How many other cruise talk "cruisers" have booked, or are about to book? (Don't wait too long as the ship is filling fast.) Wouldn't it be great to meet on board!

Gerry, are we going to have the privilege of meeting you on board? I think that we cruise talkers owe you a drink!

Hi Elizabeth.

We decided to go for the Maiden Westbound Crossing on Apr 16th, three days in New York then returning to UK on QE's final 'regular' crossing on Apr 25th, sailing alongside QM2 (should get some good pictures).
Regards, Colin.

Hi Colin

I think that the two transatlantics you are doing would be fantastic! It was a hard decision to make between the maiden voyage or what you have decided to do. My holidays suited the maiden voyage so we decided on that one. I will be eagerly waiting to see your photos.

Regards
Elizabeth
