Interesting, I saw her in Istanbul sailing up the Bosporus towards the Black Sea an a rainy evening in September. From a distance I couldn't really figure out which ship it was. She was painted with a white hull again

Has anyone heard what has happened to the Pacific ?
I recently read Captain Phillip Rentell's book. He is one of the masters of Saga Ruby & once captained these ships for Sun Cruises. It was a very interesting book. He was on the QE2 for ten years, including during the Falklands Campaign.

I hope that you enjoy it.

Ernie,
I think she was actually in service on that picture! She sailed a short season as the FESTIVAL this summer, before heading back to Bourgas for further layup.
