John: it is a good thing you didn't tell us where you were going when we docked in Venice. I am sure many passengers (myself included) would have loved to have gone on your tour. Prior to sailing on Carnival Freedom (cruise ending Aug. 29), I tried very hard to find construction pictures of it. I found a few but they were a year old - from Feb. 2006. I was able to read lots about the Fincantieri Shipyard etc. and other vessels they have built. Thanks for making pictures of Splendour and Queen Victoria so available. I find it so fascinating.

I recently posted an article about Queen Victoria based upon my interviews with Cunard people focusing on why they built this ship and the background behind it. http://www.beyondships.com/QV-Buildingupontradition.html John,

Great pics and thanks for sharing with us! Hi John,

My husabnd and I are booked to sale on the Dec. 17 inaugral cruise from Southampton. We are so excited we can't wait. We did the QEII cruise from LA to Chile, last year and it was fabulous. Besides the magnificent vessel, we have to praise the amazing crew who made the whole trip. Can't wait till December. We will be celebrating my husband 70"the birthday and also our 47th wedding anniversary on board. Wow, we are one lucky couple. See you on board.

We will be traveling on the Queen from Ft. Lauderdale to Sydney, Australia this coming Jan/Feb. It has been 44 years since I sailed on my first cruise and it was a Cunard ship (Queen of Bermuda). This Queen looks spectacular. Thanks you for the preview. Our travel agent e-mailed us your blog site and it is great.! We will be traveling on the Queen from Ft.

I can't wait to cruise with Queen Victoria. My husband and I are schedule to cruise on Queen Elizabeth 2 next year. We enjoyed our cruise with Queen Mary 2 this year. I am wondering what are the difference between these three ships beside their sizes. I am so excited while I read John blog. I can’t wait to cruise with Queen Victoria.
