Took these shots with a compact Canon Power Shot SD900 camera on February 4, 2007 when the ship came to San Francisco.

Perhaps even more "wonderfully shot" if taken just a few steps towards the water to eliminate people and other distractions???

Looks a lot better than those slab sided tower block cruise liners!

I recall that Cunard makes the distinction between it’s “ocean liners” and “cruise ships.” The implication, of course, is that the “Queens” are real ships that can handle oceans while the other lesser types can only float around the Caribbean with lots of vacationers.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to take a cruise on the QMII some years ago, and I was on deck with a nautical GPS as we left port one evening. I watched the readout in amazement as this huge ship steadily accelerated up to 25 knots over the course of only a few minutes. Impressive.

Supposed to take a ride on her this summer. New York to Halifax and points in between including Boston for fourth of July fireworks.

Yes it was an end of an era and seeing it up close was a great experience.
