Aboard Queen Elizabeth

Sat 7th March

Formal dress night and cocktails with the captain along with about 50 others in a queue to meet the captain and have a picture taken!! It was great to meet Inga again who recognised us straight away, so we held everybody up chatting about how the family were doing :).


Sunday 8th March about 680 miles from Brisbane traveling at 11 knts parallel to the Barrier reef to Cairns. Temperature outside is hot hot hot!
Got back from lunch today to find an invite to have dinner with the captain on Tuesday evening.... P blown away.

We get into Cairns early on Monday morning where we will anchor off Yorkeys Knob a small town about 5nm North West of Cairns.

We haven't booked any excursions for Cairns as it's our second visit but we will take a tender to the shore to have a walkabout. Turns out we get priority access to the tender.
The extra privaliges this upgrade has given us just keep coming, spent afternoon on private top deck being fed ice cream, juice and then cold flannels. Unfortunatley never to be repeated unless we are lucky enough to get another upgrade in the future.
