QE2 checks in to Dubai hotel berth
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
The British luxury cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 arrived in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where it will become a floating hotel moored off an artificial palm-shaped island.
More than 60 naval vessels and private boats met the 70,000-ton ship.
Officials said the ship’s transformation would take two to three years. The Queen’s Room, the captain’s quarters and the bridge are to be preserved in their original form.
