View from our cabin. It was the first morning we woke to sun :-)

We've enjoyed 2 lecture series. -1 on geo history of London & 1 on pop cultural eg Bealtles location

Each evening we return to our room to find a schedule for the next days events.

Might be hard to read the small print but this is a typical daily schedule.

Shakespeare group performing a unique play using bits and pieces of other plays.

One of the speakers was actress Anne Reid, most recently in Last Tango in Halifax & 6th Commandment.

One hallway is filled with tables of games and jigsaw puzzles.

We had a nice cocktail on Friday and toasted friend Leon M for his birthday.

We did not participate in the gala nights but enjoyed seeing others dressed up for them.

When walking laps on the deck you see lots of folks enjoying the sunny side-and no one on other side

We climbed up to the highest decks and looked around. Beautiful views of the ship.

First sighting of another boat on the water as we got closer to land.

The kennel area is on the top deck. About a dozen dogs there, all types of sizes and breeds.

We had a delicious dinner last night in the special Asian style restaurant.

Last night we had our first nice sunset and were lucky to have a fellow passenger take our picture.

A bit more from the Queen Mary.

Attached are a few more photos and descriptions from our time on the ship. Today, we had a day in port in Southampton (will post about that shortly) and tonight we leave for Hamburg, Germany (some passengers disembarked in Southampton, some are continuing on like us, plus more/replacements boarded for the short sailing to Hamburg). Tomorrow is our last full day on the ship.
