New Cunard Queen Elizabeth Transformations

Queen Elizabeth has undergone recently a multi-million pound dollar refit, creating nine new single staterooms, laying more than 25,000 square metres of carpeting, replacing more than 3,000 mattresses, installing 1,200 flat screen TVs, adding new awnings on the sun decks, re-modelling the Lido restaurant and Royal Arcade shopping area, and on the technical side, replacing a 65 tonne alternator.

It has taken over 20 days, 950 contactors worked with the ships staff to complete the work in May and June.

The single staterooms measure 159 to 162 square feet, with features including:

• Ideal central location, mid-ships in close proximity to the social areas of the Empire Casino, the Royal Court Theatre and the Queens Room
• Small double beds with generous width of more than 47”
• Large windows giving plenty of natural daylight and excellent views (outside staterooms only)

New carpets have been renewed and large flat screen TV’S mostly 32 inch or above – have been installed in all passenger staterooms, Sun awnings have been erected on the open area near the Lido pool at the stern on Deck 9 and on both sides of the Grills Upper Terrace area near the top of the ship to offer more shade out on deck.

Shopping on board has been transformed given passengers a better shopping experience.

I was on her in May and though she was a very beautiful and grand ship and agree some areas needed a little TLC but overall I thought you was very grand, so can’t wait to go back on her and see the changes that have been made.
