Crowds cheers as Queen Mary 2 arrives in Sydney

[NM]

From news.com.au:

THE ultimate in luxury cruise ships, the Queen Mary 2, has sailed into Sydney Harbour amid much excitement.

The ocean liner is berthed at Garden Island Naval Base at Woolloomooloo and will leave for Tokyo at 1am tomorrow morning.

Aaah, the beautiful QM2. I was on her inaugural world cruise in 2007 (well part of it ie Sydney - Dubai) and there traffic that day was beyond belief. I would have thought the novelty would have worn off by now though with regards to traffic jams etc.

She really is a gorgeous ship, I cant wait to go on her again. I recently came back from part of the world cruise on the Queen Victoria (Cunards newest ship) an although lovely she just isnt a patch on the QM2.

Dreaming of another cruise..

While not quite a cruise I spent 39 days/nights on the Patris back in 1972. A wonderful experience for an 8 year old.

I have vowed to do a proper cruise when I have more time on my hands once I retire in a few years....
