| Cunard's new Queen Elizabeth arrived at Dubai
on her first world cruise on Friday (April 1, 2011) and for her first
ever meeting with her namesake, the now-retired Queen Elizabeth 2, the
longest ever serving Cunarder. |

| Once docked the two ships exchanged a whistle
salute. A skeleton crew remains aboard QE2 for maintenance while it
awaits the planned conversion to a floating hotel and entertainment
center. There was no official contact between the two since Cunard no
longer owns the older vessel. You'll note the name "Cunard"
has been removed from QE2. |

moored nearby in Dubai. |
