Queen Mary 2 – Sundowner Time

By

After last visiting here on Monday 8 April 2013 the RMS Queen Mary 2 will dock in the Port of Port Elizabeth at around 06h30 on Wednesday morning 15 April.

The Queen Mary 2 is scheduled to leave the Port at 18h30 on the same day.

On her last visit the Queen Mary was a huge stately presence in the Port and the queue to gain entrance at the Baakens/ABYC entrance stretched all the way back to the old Jadene Ice Rink.

The deck at the Algoa Bay Yacht Club positively groaned with eager spectators who watched the Queen Mary 2 leave the Port.

Now with the deck at ABYC having been recently closed in the area from which to watch harbour activity has become far more convivial and you would be well advised to make an online booking at The Chartroom Restaurant well in advance for the best seats from which to view the Queen Mary 2 leave the Port.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
