Favourite Liners and Ships

[Hank Hargrove]

Oriana isn't that bad, but the general consensus is that she is ugly. Definitely not as beautiful as Canberra, though.

I do like Canberra's design.

[Adam Hodson]

I do like Canberra's design.

For some reason the Canberra's design doesn't interest me at all. 

[Alan Snelson]

I can't say I ever found Canberras looks appealing either. I met up with her several times during my time at sea and don't think I even took a photo of her in all that time. I suppose by that stage I had been spoiled by QE2.

I'm not the only one then. For some reason the Canberra has just never appealed to me.

I find Oriana's much more interesting. I do like Canberra, but I understand why you don't like her design.

Oriana's stern doesn't really appeal to me either, however I do think it is a very interesting and original design.

I, too, never found Canberra's looks appealing.  She was dearly loved by many.  But after seeing QE2, to me, all ships pale in comparison.

france- windsor castle - sandnes - uganda

[Anubhav Mitra]

My choice is
Qe2 best ocean liner of all time
Qm2 best ocean liner or ship afloat
Qe was the best ocean liner
But each and every ship has its own character and cant be compared to another.

All Cunarders...!

Do you have any favourites among other lines?

[Anubhav Mitra]

All Cunarders...!

Yes, the Normandie from French line.

[shiploversa]

queen mary  - france and any union castle liner

And if we ponder not having QE2 on the list, simply because shes everyones favourite, how might that adjust things?
If things had gone my way right from my early years id have been cruising on Canberra and a crossing on The Stefan Batory, but dear old QE2 got me and never really let go.
But in later years l now have a very deep admiration for The Queen Mary , and alas the Cunard fleet doesn't get a look in 
Then again l also toyed with a cruise on The Norway.
So maybe why no do another poll omitting our QE2 and see how that affects things.
