When we were in Halifax it was a magnificent day. Even though it was mid September, it was warm enough for people to be in the park in shorts and t-shirts. The air was perfectly clear and everything was picture postcard perfect.

Yes I am pretty sure it is the Varrezano Narrows Bridge. 12 metres to spear. No where near as close a QM2.

And thanks for posting those wonderful pics Stephen !

I agree 100%, Stephen! The new Epic is not what we have come to expect a cruise ship to be. She definitely isn't a liner!

Did you see Harry's joke picture of the Epic?

There are ships designed to rise above the masses and ships that wallow in the muck. The Queen is the former, the Epic the latter.

She was after all a Queen, and that's what Queens do
