The Center For Disease Control (CDC) performs unannounced inspections, which are conducted twice a year and required for any cruise ship with an international itinerary calling at a U.S. port. Vessels are evaluated proper food handling, preparation and storage procedures, and overall galley cleanliness. Ships’ potable water supplies used in spas and pools are evaluated, as well.

Kid's Program
Play Zone
Younger members of the family and perhaps some adults will not want to leave The Play Zone filled with toys, games and activities. As the younger children delight in the soft play area and ball pool you can be certain that they are in the best of care with our certified Early Years staff.
A range of engaging activities will be thoughtfully prepared by youth staff including sports, arts and crafts and a disco, as well as themed days such as Pirate Day! The teen area, with its computers and relaxed layout provides an ideal setting for older children to meet and make new friends. Adjoining the Play Zone is the outside pool area where the whole family can enjoy themselves.
Please note that children must be a minimum of two-years-old to participate in the Nursery without parental supervision. Children under one-year-old are welcome, provided they are accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.

RMS Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth features many unique Cunard traditions linking her with her sisters, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, and their predecessors. It features all the modern day luxuries Cunard’s guests have come to expect while including features that give the vessel her own style and personality.
QE emerges from drydock after multi-million dollar refit
posted June 20, 2014
A recent multi-million dollar refit aboard Cunard Line’s Queen Elizabeth,
created nine new single staterooms, replaced carpeting, more than 3,000
mattresses, installed 1,200 flat screen TVs, added new awnings on the sun
decks, re-modeled the Lido restaurant and Royal Arcade shopping area, and
replaced a 65 ton alternator.
Other innovations made possible by the refit include waiters with
insulated coffee and tea pots henceforth serving passengers with hot drinks
at all meals, following the refurbishment of the ship’s informal Lido
restaurant. The addition of recessed risers will improve the styling
of this self-service area as well as passenger flows within it.
More generally, carpets have been renewed and large flat-screen TVs
– mostly 32” 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. The creation of a dedicated
studio enables the ship’s photographers to offer high-end portraiture, while
the addition of touch screens in the photo gallery continues the development
of a digital environment in which passengers can more easily find and select
their photos taken by the team.
Shopping in the Royal Arcade on Deck 3 has been transformed: new
Fine Jewelry and Watch shops have opened and the layout, lighting and
overall shopping experience for passengers has been enhanced.
On the technical front, scrubber technology has been installed in
line with the company’s commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.
This involves the installation of a new filtration system for the exhaust
gas from the ship’s engines. In addition, a new alternator has been
installed.

The first Queen Elizabeth was one of Cunard’s greatest ships, and the new Queen Elizabeth reflects her predecessor in interior grandeur, décor and style, but with a modern twist. From the outside, her distinctive black and red livery hints at an experience that differentiates a Cunard liner from a modern-day cruise ship.
This is most evident in the ship’s adherence to liner traditions, with elegant double- and triple-height public rooms on a grand scale, luxuriously endowed with rich wood paneling, intricate mosaics, hand-woven carpets, gleaming chandeliers and cool marbles. Art Deco features pay homage to the original Queen Elizabeth and will allow the new ship to reflect a more civilized era of travel. As successor to Queen Elizabeth 2, the ship will also reflect this great liner through artwork and memorabilia, and its very own “Yacht Club.”
