Thumbs up Queen Mary Meets the Queen Mary 2

Just a head's up -

On Thursday, February 23rd, between 12:30 - 1:30pm, the Queen Mary 2 will meet its sister ship for the first time as it passes through Long Beach. The ships will greet each other with horn salutes.

Should be pretty neat!

I'll try and post some photos and/or video after tomorrow.

Re: Queen Mary Meets the Queen Mary 2

Got to go aboard the Queen Mary 2 as an invited guest today (Travel Agent) to see the Public Areas....WOW, what a beautiful ship....sorry no pics, didn't even think of taking the camera. Would love to sail on her Hawaiian Voyage coming up after this short 3 day cruise. But alas, no possible way, she is one of the most expensive cruises on the high seas!

Re: Queen Mary Meets the Queen Mary 2

no pics, but it was the talk of the town today. it was dead quiet on second street in LB, and couldn't figure out why until i talked to my mom who was roaming around and wound up watching the QM2 meet her predecessor with crazy boat enthusiasts.

The Los Angeles Times has a gallery of 10 wonderful pics, some are taken from a helicopter. Also an article.

Are you talking about a fellow MiceChatter? Or about the ship?

I was going to say, the ship doesn't look that big but I bet its is huge in person. It looks so tall. How long are the Wonder and Magic?
