My wife and I have sailed in QE2 43 times and QM2 7 (8 this September 27), and despite QM2's interior grandeur (her exterior is not very attractve --though awesome -- no sheer, tumble home, stunted funnel) as you described it so well, QE2 will always be closest to our nautical hearts. She was and is the last of the true ocean liners (the France is pretty much broken up), until 1985 truly British throughout, and always presenting herself with panache. A number of websites (worldshipny.com,for example)feature pictures of a tandem crossing of QE2 and Victoria in a heavy sea. These clearly demonstrate the difference between an ocean liner and a flat bottom cruise ship pretending to be an oceanliner. Best regards and I hope to cross bows with you in the not too distant future. I enjoyed your reprise about QM2, Victoria and QE2.

My wife and I were on the QM2 that day. We had crossed over on the QE2 on 4/12, spent 4 days in London and sailed back on the QM2 with over 20 other cruisers from cruise critic that did the same sailing. What an experience, we were waving our union jack flags and had tears in our eyes that we were able to part of that special day. We have sailed before with you on the Liberty and Sensation. Cheers! Mike & Helen Hi John!

(it was the first grand med cruise) We took a video as we were leaving, and lots of people were on deck and waving and cheering on both ships and the horns were blowing. It was like meeting royalty! Cheers, Marion. Hi John,

That had to be an amazing experience, my heart went pitter patter as I read your account and I felt your excitement. I would love to one day sail on Cunard but after a somewhat disappointing land vacation I think I have my husband convinced that we must sail on the Spendor to make up for it... I was VERY happy to hear that Murphy didnt follow you on this journey and you were truely able to enjoy it. Kim Parker John,

And a beautiful one at that. It couldn't have happened to a greater guy... YOU! Thank you for taking us along with you once again. By the way, when you send us these messages, and take us on all of your thrilling journeys; just what do you think you're doing, mister? Psssst.... don't look now, but I think your friends are trying to tell you something: Mr. Heald, you ARE a writer; and a very good one indeed. One we all look forward to reading every day. We could sense your feelings about the day and you made us all feel like we're right there with you. Bravo! Only wished Heidi were with you... Andrea (and Janet) A Day of Days!! And a beautiful one at that. It couldn’t have happened to a greater guy… YOU!

Your enthusiasm about this day was exactly what i was expecting. Thank you for taking the time to decribe in detail what we were all thinking. Sure sounds like an amazing time. I can't wait to see your pictures tomorrow and hopefully journey on one of these beautiful vessels one day. Hope everything else is going well and good luck flying across the pond. Take care!
