well about an hour and a half ago (05.30 onward) i got some great snaps of the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth 2 arriving in Southampton and i've rushed home to put them up for ya!
I hope you like, it was a great feeling seeing the QE2 pass as the sun was rising i can tell you
see the Cunard Queens here!
if we're lucky with the weather i should get some more pics tonight as they depart... but the post might have to wait till morning!
have a good day all!

QE2 really makes QM2 look like an appartment block in those pics.
that one was specifically for you aswell - the air conditioning thingy - lol ;-)
It seems that Cunard are keeping them apart, since there are numerous occasions in 2005 when QM2 and QE2 are scheduled to be in the same port one day apart ....once in New York in September 2005, the rest in Southampton.

It's not just you.

sorry about that its a pity in Southampton there arent more places to get decent pictures from different angles - but its all down to the light n stuff
at least its a contrast!!
thanks for the info... it was lucky i got up early because come the afternoon thousands thronged the Hythe side of the water but the QE2 did not pass the QM2 as expected, it was a real shame... interesting what you've mentioned about the 'keeping apart'.
cheers
it was worth getting up for!
Wow, you just discovered this? It has already been the topic of much discussion. Many of us have agreed from day 1 that QM2's aft end is not her most attractive side. As much as I love QM2, she does look like a block from certain angles.
It the aft suites were removed and the decks better tiered, I think QM2's aft end would be far more attractive.... and the aft decks much more user friendly for the passengers.

Her aft is more attractive than 99% (maybe all) other moden mega-ships!
