Just having read the Cunard blog re archbishop Desmond Tutu's stay onboard QM2 on her current World Tour, I am reminded how sorely I miss being on board. I would be quite happy to be still be sailing , and you can bet, I would have met his excellency, the Archbishop! He was onboard from Port Louis, Mauritius to Capetown, South Africa. There are photos on the Cunard blog. and I'm sorry I missed it. Friends that I met during my stay on board are still traveling forward, at that very civilized speed of 24 knots or so. I decided it's time to post more QM2 photos that I took along the way. She's quite a beautiful ship, and I took photos all over the place. This post features the grand Britannia Restaurant, where I enjoyed dinner every night, as well as some lunches and one breakfast! The food I thought was quite good, entrees were always hot, beautifully plated, graciously delivered by warm, friendly waiters. They were always happy to do this, do that, whatever you wanted, no problem. I loved it. I love it that Cunard hires staff from all over the world. It helps to make the ship an interesting place, I think. All in all, in terms of scale and grandeur, i think it she's right there with the great transatlantic liners of the past. Clearly, the designer drew on them for inspiration when cooking up this beauty of a room!
