    I shall be interested to see how much she's been altered from my last cruise in 2008.
    Last time I saw her, in December 2016, the conversion still hadn't started.

    Before lockdown I used to fly over her fairly regularly and often wondered what would become of this fine lady.
    I shall have to work out a VPN to watch the programme.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that first episode. Nice to see the old girl is being looked after so well. So far...they seem to have blended any modernisation with great respect to her final interiors as a 'Cunarder,' and of course, she is much better off in that climate, rather than rotting here awaiting funds that would probably never come. Good job Dubai! Looking forward to future episodes :)
