If there were rooms that I could be tasked to redesign if QE2 were still in service.. it would be this. The seats with the pinky colors look very dated. I would also cover up the stenciling on the walls. Maybe remove the stripes from the curtain?
Hi Trevor - in many respects, this was typically QE2, a great big part of her charm - other than on board Saga Ruby (ex Caronia), where else would you have found a sense and appearance of 'comfort' like it? !
You would have found this same feel (not 'touch') in very many places, cabins, the Grand Lounge is possibly another case in point - she was forty 40 years old, and changing this QE2 'Feel' almost throughout the ship would have required a complete re-think - then what period might you have copied?
You try the Theatre in QM2 - looks lovely, yes, however the sightlines are bad, the glass at the front, impossible, the bench seating not the best idea - and when I'm in there, I can't understand why, why why, didn't designers consider thinking about QE2's lovely theatre first!
We heard some of the most lovely music in the Theatre - the sound reproduction was better than the loud blare in other ships - and as well as the wall decorations -I just loved the carpet, and the designs on the walls - it was by far better than anything so far seen on the Hotel Version!
I'd give anything to have a QE2 Theatre effect anywhere here at home!!
