Happy 50th everyone!  I'm looking forward to celebrating this event with many of you in two days.  We begin our journey across the pond in a few hours.  Can't wait!!!

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...
First sailed on QE2 in August 2003 aged 6 years old. Last sailed on QE2 in July 2008. Last saw the seagoing QE2 in person from the decks of QM2, on QE2's last Transatlantic crossing (Eastbound tandem) in October 2008. Visited QE2 in her new life, in Dubai, in January 2020 and August 2022.

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.

Indeed Happy 51st QE2.
I work with people who have no idea what QE2 is ! :'(
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

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  ::)
