Test Your Queen Elizabeth 2 IQ
After millions of nautical miles logged, thousands of Atlantic crossings, and even a stint as a war transport vessel, Cunard's 1969-launched Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) is retiring from cruise service this November. It will be reborn as a floating luxury hotel in Dubai.
And as the noble vessel sails into the sunset, abdicating after almost 40 years as cruising's grande dame, we'd like to take a moment to look back at the liner's storied history. But this time, we'll be asking you to do the research....
Quiz master and regular Cruise Critic contributor Greg Straub has prepared a series of QE2 trivia questions. The most erudite among us will be rewarded royally. Show your knowledge of Elizabeth esoterica and earn a more common, but no less noteworthy prize -- a Queen Elizabeth coffee table book! Three lucky winners will be selected at random from the top scorers to receive a copy of "Queen Elizabeth: Forty Years Famous" by Carol Thatcher.
The quiz will end promptly at 5 p.m. EST on Wednesday, August 13, so don't tarry. First attempt only will be counted.
There are hints scattered throughout Cruise Critic. Visit our features, reviews and U.S. and U.K. message boards.
And don't forget to share your own stories about Queen Elizabeth 2 in our special QE2 Memory Book. Good luck.
