Boarded QM2 today. The boarding process was somewhat chaotic because the IT system had gone down.  Anyhow, now safely on board. From the little we have seen so far the refit has been a great success. Additionally we have been lucky enough to be allocated one of the fully refurbished/replaced cabins — it’s like getting on a brand new ship. We are expecting to sail at midnight for Port Elizabeth. Tomorrow will be a sea day, so I may not do a posting.

Two pictures: the ship from the city, the city (and Table Mountain) from the ship.
