Another 'Happy Anniversary' to QE2

and, if you need more - here's another!!


Guessing that it would be too much to ask Dubai whether they'd consider running videos we've collected here on a public large screen in the Foyer...?

Happy 51st QE2!

We will have to wait and see what Dubai do to mark the occasion, having said that it's late afternoon in Dubai already...

Maybe they'll give a 51 second blow of her whistle, with the press in attendance... And maybe they won't...

Maybe Dubai did arrange a cake today for those onboard the ship

She did get a birthday cake for her 45th when Captain Cooper was in charge.

As it turns out Dubai have marked the occasion with a post on Facebook and Instagram.

Edit: Sorry, just realised I duplicated Rob's post  ::)
