That's the kiddies cinema on that deck plan.

QE2's theatre is a two-level one on the Upper and Boat Decks and sits 529 people.

Pam

indeed she does - straight after she'd dropped off passengers that morning she was moved to the King George V dry dock for work - im not sure of exactly what this entailed... perhaps they were sending a sweep up there?! lol.
