Rob -- Hope you do find some of your old ship mates to yap with; meanwhile, your post raises something in my mind. On "the other" fan site, cruisecritic.com, a month or so ago I read a thread wherein someone suddenly was speaking about "the good times" on QE2 back on two-desk aft. Something about rousing times.
I have looked for the thread since, I cannot find it ... but the thought haunts. Another post mentioned that in the original plans for the ship, and into the original build, there was to be a third-class entry or lounge two-deck aft and when the ship went two-class, then converted to a one-class liner, that large space on two-deck was just left .... large.
But "good times", there, rather in the middle of nowhere? When? How?Do you know of any of this? Perhaps you and your lads on then are what gave the poster such good memories?
I've never heard of any pub or cabin crawls in that area. Do you know anything of this?
