Its never to late to nip down to the purser's desk and arrange a QE2 Story get together on board!
Exactly, as Rob says; and Hi!
It's great that you are going to do something for QE2 - specially with Rob's new article and for the 6th Anniversary of her time in Dubai. It's always a great opportunity to dispel any 'stories / rumours' that you might pick up - "Isn't she in Cape Town?' we heard that one, just 6 months ago on board QV!
As well as the Pursers Office, it would be good if you can have a chat with the Cruise Director to see if one of the Team can arrange a few chairs etc at one end of the Golden Lion or the Commodore Club, or the Winter Garden in the daytime for you - you might find that the Social Hostess will join you too.
We usually try and make it for around 12.00 midday after the Captain's daily announcement or 3.00pm, if you do it later, it collides with Afternoon Tea, and later still with drinks for the Early Diners! Much will also depend on what else is happening on board.
A casual meet up like this is probably the easiest at short notice - and if the Cruise Director can send an email round the ship inviting any crew that might be interested, so much the better! (The Cabin Stewards won't come they sleep all the hours they can find, as their hours are so very long). There may or may not be the opportunity for it to go in the daily programme - Once you know the details, word of mouth helps enormously too!
If you can click on this link, and then print off one copy of this link (A4 size), you will find that the Pursers Office will be fine about photocopying say 2 or 3 copies - then you can cut them up and distribute them to anyone you meet!!
https://www.theqe2story.com/features/TQSPublicity.htmlGood luck - and looking forward to hearing how it goes! Please don't feel too dispirited if not many people come - the few that do will love talking about their memories of QE2 - That's what really matters!!
There are very many Ex-QE2 Crew-members on QV!
Enjoy yourselves - have a lovely time on board.
