QM2&QE2

[mjf]

Am I correct in thinking these two Ladies will be in S'Hampton together this coming w/e. If so does anyone know ETA/ETS's.

I have in my mind that early June (5/6?) they would present a excellent photo opportunity but I think I have the wrong dates.

Help/clarification would be appeciated.

I've been told the following, but have no confirmation yet

" Cunard have not confirmed arrival times. At present it would seem 0530 and 0600 <snip> On that basis, they sail at 1700 and 1800 with QE2 passing the QM2 on the berth. However I have heard QE2 may leave at 1500 (she's off for refit)."

According to the Cunard site QM2 arrives at 06:00 and QE2 arrives at 07:00 on Saturday 1st. However I have heard that they were leaving NY together, and sailing back together, and arriving together in Southampton, as this is supposedly QE2's last transatlantic crossing (all heresay thou)

Just out of interest, the Hythe Ferry or Hythe Pier make good viewing places. So does my boat 'cos it's on the Ferry pontoon. The last time QM2 was in, hundreds gathered on Town Quay to watch it leave. Unfortunately at the same time a car transporter ship left dock - completely obliterating the Queenly view.

Thanks for that.

Looks like the Wx might stop play on Sat - theBBC has gone from nice big sun to big rain drop.....

I really wanted to see them together so it might be a car job!
