Re: The Three Queens in Lisbon.
Thanks for that Delboy as a Cunard fan it was particularly interesting to me.
It's the first time the 3 Queens have been together since June 2012 when they were all in Southampton for the Queens Jubilee, I was there for that one when we boarded QV for a 17 night cruise to the Adriatic.

Re: The Three Queens in Lisbon.
I was in Mayflower park that night as my grandson wanted to see them sail ... I have never been so wet and cold and the fireworks were a haze thorough the cloud and rain.. and to top it all the Red Arrows were cancelled We had decided to stay at the Novotel that night and upon return to the hotel, I had to have a bath to thaw out and also had to throw my shoes away as they were waterlogged (stupid little ballerina style in torrential rain.. no wonder!!!) I am sure you remember it well DQ....!!Dancing Queen wrote:Thanks for that Delboy as a Cunard fan it was particularly interesting to me.

I certainly do Jenni the weather was atrocious although we still did sail away on our balcony with a bottle of champers, we felt we got 'short changed' as we should have had a decent view of the fireworks then QM2 moved into position and completely blocked QV although with the rain and cloud we wouldn't have seen that much.
I wasn't too disappointed not seeing the Red Arrows as I used to live quite close to RAF Finningley and they were there most years at the Air Show, I could sit in my garden and have a wonderful view.
