Thread: QE2 25th June 2008

I am off to Norway on QE2 on the 25th June 2008, anyone else coming?

Hi Lankey
I'm also on the cruise, what excursions are you doing

I am only planning on the rail one from Flam. I have been to Geiranger before and done the trip up the mountain, which was very good. This time I will just look around the town then get back on the ship. I will do my own thing in Bergan and Stavanager. Are you planning on doing any of the excursions?

Here are some pictures of my last visit to Geiranger in 1997. I hope the weather is as good this year.

You always have the best pictures, Stephen! Thanks for sharing again.

Char, this is lovely pictures..I almost get home sick here

Thank you for posting them Stephen.

Andew, you asked about tours. I would recommend you the overland tour from Hellesylt to Geirnager. The landscape is stunning, you will love it!!!

As for when you are sailing out the fjord, you should stand all the way on top as possible and just take in the breathtaking vistas!!!!!!!

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your pictures they are excellent we really appreciate you taking the time to do it , I can see you are a seasoned cruiser. Do you have any advice on getting the best out of theQE2 as it is our first time on board? We are also doing the Flam railway trip, and up the venicular in Bergen, plus the mountain hike from H / G. however the weather is a concern ,

Which grade are you in? The Crystal Bar is a lovely place for a pre-dinner drink and you should at least pop into the Princess Gill Bar, on 1 deck, it's one of the only rooms that is still as it was in 1969.

If going into the theatre you get a much better view from the upstairs, but don't sit on the front row, as you can't see.

5 WEEKS TO GO

I wish I was sailing that soon, Stephen! I still have 143 days to wait.

We need to find more Cunard cruisers! There just aren't that many here yet.
