The Cunard super liner and flagship of the Merchant fleet, the Queen Elizabeth, docked in Palma this morning with an estimated 2,000 passengers on board. With her red and black funnels, the house colours of the Cunard line, she made quite a sight on a grey day in the port of Palma.

Also the Queen Elizabeth is only a Cruise Ship and NOT a Liner. As I understand, the only liner afloat is the current Queen Mary. Liners are a lot more sturdy, and can take oceanic storms more easily. QE 2 retired in 2008, and went aground on her last ever visit to Southampton on the Brambles Bank. I was fortunate enough to follow her down the Southampton Water for the QE2's last time of departure before I headed back to Lymington on a boat.
The headline and intro need correcting as the ship is not called Queen Elizabeth II, it’s just Queen Elizabeth or MS Queen Elizabeth. The ship that did have the moniker 2, Queen Elizabeth 2, was retired many years ago and is permanently docked in Dubai as a floating hotel.
