Hello! Glad to have found this site. Have long been interested in ocean liners, especially the great QE2. While I never was able to sail on her, I have long lived vicariously through those of you lucky enough to have been aboard.
Got a question for you all. Several years ago I purchased some pre-launch deck plans printed in 1968, which essentially shows her layout at launch time. Looking at four and five decks, there are several "bathtub rooms" scattered amongst the tourist class cabins. To date I haven't been able to find any information about them, and they of course long disappeared from the deck plans. While every QE2 room had an ensuite bath, I know that many of the tourist class rooms had a shower only, so my guess was that these rooms were to provided bathtub facilities for those who wanted a tub bath but were berthed in shower-only accomidations. Doe anyone have any more information about these rooms? Were they still onboard in 2008? Thanks!
