Over the weekend I was digging through old posts from my original blog and I came across my very first post. It was the leaked images of the Queen Elizabeth’s interiors from way back in March 2009. I was looking at the pictures and something struck me. The new artwork that was just displayed to [...]

Cunard announced today that the maiden voyage of Queen Elizabeth sold out in a record 29 minutes. That’s right, 29 minutes. This beats out the pace the origional Queen Elizabeth sold at. Also remember to check out my maiden post (no pun intended(ok maybe I did)) about images of the New Queen.
UPDATE: The QE2 Final [...]
