A good friend of mine very kindly arranged for me to have lunch aboard Cunard's Queen Elizabeth this week. It's a ship I've cruised in before, in beautiful condition and very much to my taste.

| Queen Elizabeth (right) and Regatta (left) at Station Pier, Port Melbourne on 17th. December 2023. |
 |
| The ship has a full wrap around promenade deck, something most new ships no longer have, unfortunately. |
 |
| The main pool. |
 |
| The Croquet Court - I suspect this is more symbolic than anything else. |
 |
| The ship's atrium. |
 |
| The Garden Lounge (Conservatory). |
 |
| The Grill Lounge. |
 |
| The Commodore Club (lookout bar). |
 |
| The Ballroom. |
 |
| The Royal Court Theatre. |
 |
| The English style pub - a very popular lounge. |
 |
| It's interesting to see lots of memorabilia from the transatlantic heydays displayed around this ship. |
 |
| The main restaurant. |
 |
| The two-deck library. |
 |
| Christmas decorations. |
 |
| This beautiful painting of the original Queen Elizabeth is by renowned maritime artist Stephen Card. |
 |
| I wish other companies like Princess had maintained dress standards instead of now allowing ferals a 'dress code free for all' across the entire ship, including in the main restaurants at dinner. |
 |
| Those who insist on dressing like 12 year olds in the evenings are still catered for. |
 |
| My next ship, Oceania's Regatta. I'll be joining her in Sydney this week. |
