Queen Elizabeth Cruise Ship, Arriving in Cairns Harbour on 22 Oct 2024.

@shipsintropicaloz Cunard Line cruise ship, Queen Elizabeth, arriving in Cairns Harbour on 22 Oct 2024. The ship is a Vista-class cruise ship and was built in Italy from 2007 to 2010. She has 16 decks (12 of which are accessible to passengers) and capacity for 2,092 passengers - 2,547 passengers and more than 900 staff/crew. Queen Elizabeth evokes the glamour of yesteryear including formal dining and ballroom galas. Yet, she also provides expected modern conveniences like computer lounges and plenty of shopping opportunities. With decor redolent of the 1930s, and many art deco interior touches, there's no neon or glitz, and there are few gimmicks. Instead of water slides and high-tech nightclubs, this Cunard ship cashes in on a nostalgic heritage with ballroom dancing, lawn bowls and afternoon tea in the Garden Lounge.
