Customer Reviews

Ah, the memories!

I had the wonderful opportunity of working on board the Queen Elizabeth 2 during my career at sea. I served for 10 months as the Captains' Steward and during that time met many wonderful and interesting people. These days I work as a Butler for one of the former passengers I waited on at the Captain's table, many years ago so in a way, it is a reunion of sorts. I found this book to be very informative and and full of wonderful photographs. I especially enjoyed the look "behind the scenes," that many passengers don't get to see when they are on board. People who have actually sailed on the Queen Elizabeth 2 will no doubt enjoy this book and all that Captain Warwick has included. David Robinson thebritishbutler@hotmail.com

QE2

I think this is a wonderful updated edition of the book. It has new pictures of it's 1994 refit. The only disapointment was the deck plan in the inside cover was not updated. This is though a wonderful book to have if you have been on the QE2, planning to go on it, or just interested in ocean liners.
