The QE2 retires to become a hotel in Dubai

The QE2 is on her last voyage from Southampton.

Her next life will be as a floating hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Bea will have to find a new place to live. She has lived onboard the QE2 for the last 14 years. I had often heard of this person, but always thought it was a joke. At 3500 Euros per month, it really is cheaper than many assisted living apartments.

I suspect many cruise lines will begin to experience a decrease in business. Perhaps this is one market segment they really should pursue. There are lots of widows who, like Bea, are tired of keeping house.
