Passing by the Kota Kinabalu old port, I saw a big cruise ship parked there. It was the
Cunard Lines Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen Elizabeth is the newest liner by Cunard, launched in October 2010 by Queen Elizabeth II.
It was on its maiden World Cruise (5 Jan 2011 to 19 April 2011). The ship is 90,900 mt, with 2,068 passenger capacity, crew of 996, and is 964.5 feet in length (per
Cunard's website). You can even see out of the bridge via the
webcam (right now its showing a view of sepangar bay in the distance)
It totally dwarfed the warehouse at the old port. From the itinerary, the last port of call was Freemantle (Australia) and after the 1-day in Kota Kinabalu, the next port of call is Hong Kong.
From comments on the internet, there was
criticism on the "boxy" rear-end. But it was pointed out that this design gave extra rooms generating USD4 million revenue annually.
The
next world cruise (107 days) departs Southampton Jan 2012.
From the Cunard website, the cheapest fare is USD23,327.75, while the uber-luxury fare is USD83,327.78. Using the cheapest fare, the daily cost works out at USD218 per day, which isn't bad considering its all in (provided you can spare USD23,327.75).
