Welcome to the family Jerry

I personally would like her to have been smaller than she will be, to start with. But as to her style and so forth...well I would love to see some curves, not the containership like shape of the new Vista class ships that are being churned out. She should have character, individuality, sophistication and class (by class, I mean the ambience that QE2 has always had about her). She should have real wood, not formica veneers, Wilton/Axminster carpeting, British made ceramics...bathrooms and crockery alike...basically a purely British feel about her and certainly not a floating Vegas with gawdy colours and lighting.

Make her look like an ocean liner, both inside and out, and not just another floating block of flats
