genius behind the design of qe2 was a ship that was able to go on the atlantic in the northern summer so they could do the transatlantic crossings, and then escape the rough weather and the cold winters and go cruising in the winter months. chris frame is a maritime author and qe2 expert. when qe2 was designed, it was in the late 19605 and they actually had a very 1960s—style interior in the ship. when she first entered service, the critics, they really hated the new materials of the ship but what happened was, the travelling public loved it and a whole new group of people started travelling on the qe2. here is a remarkable ocean liner, service, comfort and efficiency. queen elizabeth ii is a vast seagoing complex, capable of accommodating 1,800 passengers on ten passenger decks. at the time she came into service, she had four swimming pools which was considered quite revolutionary. two of them were on deck, two of them were below deck and the idea was, when she was in the atlantic, the weather would be too rough for the swimming pools on deck, you could go down and enjoy the gym fa
