QE2 Directory of Services from 2008
« on: Feb 28, 2016, 06:29 PM »
In response to Rob's encouragement, I have scanned the contents of the Directory of Services from the final 2008 season.

Due to the seriously poor broadband service (contradiction in terms) I have, I will need to post just a couple of pages at a time to avoid the upload timing out.

Here goes . . .

Thanks Pete for scanning and posting the QE2 Directory of Services from 2008.  This certainly brings back memories of what was onboard ship and is a good piece of memorabilia. 
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Absolutely fascinating reading! I think it's probably the first time I've actually read it!
Passionate about QE2's service life for 40 years and creator of this website.  I have worked in IT for 28 years and created my personal QE2 website in 1994.

I read through the pages while I was waiting for the scans to complete - and most of it was new to me too!
Nobody ever reads the instructions!

Just wondering, How many of you read the hotel blurb when you check into a hotel, surely at least some of the information is looked at or glanced upon...?

Rarely! Also, once you have been to somewhere a couple of times, you think you know enough to not bother reading any more.
Anyway, here's some more to not bother reading . . . .

Who now hasnt admitted to having an attack of hunger pangs in the small hours and called room service for a BLT, side of fries and Glass of milk. I confess it was one of my things l did quite a lot, the Midnight buffet had long since gone, and in truth it was only ever a snack and breakfast would be a great many hours away and the propsect of being without was quite a thought.
 And if you were "entertaining" in the wee small hours you just added the "for two" please and ensured the night stewart got a slightly larger tip.

On my last Med cruise it struck me l was over doing things when the voice at the other end asked me did l want my usual...

Then there was the last time ever for me on the final crossing, l did the washing up of the dishes and everything ended up in the suitcase. It was among a few of us a hot topic . :-[
