Nice Pam, she have a wonderful voice. Last time she was in Rotterdam when she departed it felled as if her horn just cut through my body (and you have seen me

) About 2 weeks and she will be here fore the last time.

Greetings Ben.

Yes, Pam, you're right! She has the best voice. We will miss her. Too bad Cunard won't transfer her horn to QM2. In spite of the fact that QM2's horn came from QM, it's a bit of a disappointment by comparison. Thanks for the video Pam.

Great video clip, Pam! Didn't you have one of Oceanic sounding her whistle while departing Barcelona? I believe it as taken from another ship as she passed. Is that clip still around?

Excellent Pam, nothing like hearing her 'voice'; thank you so much for posting this video. I could go to sleep hearing that.

I always loved the deep tone of her horn. QM2's (and QV's) are not nearly as good. I wanted to love QM2's but what a disapointment after hearing QE2's so many times. Would'nt it be wonderful if the new QE had a similar one??

She knew Pam was there and wanted to make her smile after we saw her off at Hythe.

That whistle is what I'll really miss. I can occasionally hear the likes of Oceana from here but in general the QE2 is the only one I have all these decades. I don't want it in a Vista. Should be in something worthy.
