Did I read correctly that the Queen Mary 2 is headed back to Bonaire this Saturday? I hope the photographers out there will get busy, and post some more picture.

Has anyone been on board as a passenger?? It is an ugly boat if I may say so..Mom and my late Dad used to sail Cunard often. They loved the QEII sailing the NY Southhampton route on occassion. I had thought about taking Mom on the QMII someday but after chatting with several passengers in BON and reading a lot, it seems it's not quite up to the Cunard standard...plus any excuse for me NOT to sail on a cruise ship. The first day it came to BON was such fun..the entire island was at the boat at 7 AM...what excitement..

Ann
I have 2 very good friends who sailed on her on her 1st trip. They also do other crusies. Plus others on Cunard. They said it is what sailing is all about, the ease and just everything be done correctly.
