Back in 1996, when A&E really was Arts & Entertainment, they showed a documentary called "Floating Palaces".............does anybody know what ever became of that? Never been able to find it anywhere online or on DVD. I would love to see that again...........it was amazing!

Everything they say in this video is TRUE! I did a TRANS-ATLANTIC crossing this past April. I was a Britiania stateroom, but there was no difference in service levels I have seen. The small stateroom was all I really needed, as I was only IN IT for LESS THAN 10 HOURS per DAY! My cabin steward actually CHECKED on me during the end of the fourth day, because I never called him for anything (I discovered that it is not unusual for him to be called at least once in the early part of the trip).

Yes. They also have a rabbi on borad.

The QE2 is a LADY, and the last of the transatlantic liners of the golden age. She is the only ship I know of that actually LOOKS like a ship. I am going on her last transatlantic voyage in October (been on the wating list for that for over a year, and I'm going QUEEN'S GRILL!!! - which means something to those who know), and I will miss her dreadfully.

Peplicus, I am in complete agreement. I was on the maiden voyage (the REAL maiden voyage, not the Carribean or later ones), and the Mary is too damned big. You had to hike literally a quarter of a mile past hallways of stateroom doors to get from any activities in the bow to those in the stern.

Cunard is simply the best producers of the floating palaces on earth until now..truly a magnificent!

NO OTHER CRUISE LINE BEATS CUNARD! All their Ships are FLOATING GRAND PALACES! Can you imagine all their ships are christened by ROYALS?

You're right about most of what you said, homeric 9, but I disagree with your last statement of 'A boring operation'. Cunard will always be surpreme in my mind, always the best. I think something also has to be said about who travels on ships. What would the QE2 be if no one with a title sailed on her? As long as Cunard continues to attract their usuals then they will be a cut above the rest.

peplicus-
What unusual taste you have! Most people hate the exteriors of the Michelangelo and Raffaelo and prefer the Queen Mary and Elizabeth.

Question: Does Cunard have church services on Sundays?
Well that convinced me. Not to sure about the Victoria but definetly the Queen Mary 2.
and for those that keep yakking on about carnival lines consider this - Toyota has Lexus and Mercedes has Maybach and Carnival has Cunard thats all im saying :-)

There may be other liners out there, but none with this level of mystique. She's truly a national treasure!
