HMS Queen Elizabeth 2 is the most celebrated craft afloat and one
of the greatest technical achievements of the 20th century. In her
construction and maintenance are involved almost every science,
profession, and trade known to civilization. On her bridge stand
officers, who besides being the pick of the Royal Navy, have passed
rigid examinations in all studies pertaining to winds, tides,
currents, navigation, and the geography of the sea.
For 91 days, author Bernard M. Patten, M.D., sailed around the
world on this ultimate cruise ship. What was it like onboard this
most luxurious of luxury liners? "Marvelous, simply marvelous," he
assures the reader with obvious enthusiasm that spills off every
page.
Determined to give the reader the complete QE2 experience, Patten
and his wife, Ethel, roomed in progressively better accommodations,
moving level by level from the least expensive class ("Mauritania
5") to the Penthouse Suite, which included their own butlers,
Geoffrey and Paul. Along with the Pattens, readers will experience
every deck, every restaurant, and every level of luxury that this
incredible ocean liner has to offer.
Whether you're a cruise buff, or planning your own stay aboard this
fabulous ship, or just want to take a trip in your imagination on a
cold rainy night, Cruising on the Queen Elizabeth 2 will provide
you with interesting information, entertaining stories, and ample
pleasures.
