in 2002, I was lucky enough to take a winter transatlantic crossing onboard the legendary QE2, towards the end of her career. However, not all aspects of the experience were great and there was a North Atlantic storm too. You can read my review below.
The QE2 retired in 2008 and eventually became a floating hotel in Dubai.

In December 2025, I stayed at the QE2 hotel in port Rashid, Dubai. This was the first time that I had seen her or been on her, in 23 years. However, once again not all aspects of the experience were good. I’ve written a very long review about it, for you all.
