"Queen Elizabeth" Cruise - January 2020
On 26 January 2020,
Joy and her sister Dawn embarked on the "Queen Elizabeth" in Melbourne. This was the first time we had sailed on Cunard Line. The ship interior was very "art deco" and had lots of mirrors, particularly in the dining room. The ship is mainly geared to the more mature passenger, with only about 8 children on board. There were not extra activities that young people would be looking for. The night shows were great, ballroom dancing also, and there were lots of quiet sitting lounges. The afternoon high teas were very indulgent.
