Here’s a timelapse video of QE2 on her final visit to Naples and Malta last week.
I think the colors on the water are beautiful.
Also, there’s a really interesting part in Malta where a ship adjacent to her lets down a life raft and it sails around for a while. It looks quite comical in timelapse!
She’s on her final voyage to Dubai.
Here’s a timelapse video of QE2’s final transit of the Suez Canal.
We’re having problems with Flickr at the moment.
For some reason the folks at Flickr deleted all of the photos we’ve uploaded from here. I’m in the process of getting them to restore them all.
Till that’s fixed, I’ll be recording all photos locally, and will make a searchable database available as soon as possible.
If you’re planning a cruise, and would like to tell the world about your wonderful trip, or any of the places you’ve visited, why not send us a postcard?
I’ll scan the card, and display it here as a permanent record of your cruise. If you include a return address on the postcard, I’ll also send you a postcard in reply.
The address is:

Many thanks to fellow cruise ship lover, Tee, for this info.
The Southampton Daily Echo has published an MP3 ringtone of QE2’s horn. It’s free, and you can download it here.
Hurtigruten Ships cruise some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
They’ve recently upgraded their excellent website.
I’ve fixed ShipWatcher to make it easier for you to view their webcams.
Princess Cruises has launched a new ship “Ruby Princess”.
I’ve added her webcam to ShipWatcher.

A postcard I received Rob Lightbody while he was on his QE2 Mediterranean cruise in August 08.
I’ll never get to cruise on QE2 myself, so someone sending a card to me while they were cruising on her is about as close as I’ll get.
Thanks Rob, for letting me vicariously share a bit of history with you.

A postcrossing postcard from Joey in Norway.
I recently received a postcard from Joey’s cats, so it was a pleasant surprise to receive a postcard from Joey himself.
Thanks, Joey!
I received this postcard today from Kai in Germany, and I thought I would share it with you.
Kai very kindly sent the postcard via Postcrossing – a website that lets you exchange postcards with random people, and make new friends.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive this card, because I think she is such a wonderful ship.
QE2 visited the Baltic in 2004, when this photo was taken by Wolfgang Kromer.
Kai is a prolific postcrosser. He has sent postcards more than 1.1 million kilometres in the last two years, to make him one of the most active members in Germany.
Congratulations, Kai, and thanks once again!
