It’s high tea on the high seas as the MS Queen Elizabeth arrives to drop anchor in Southern California starting in May.
The British are coming! The British are coming! But unlike the cause of Paul Revere’s legendary midnight ride in 1775, this arrival from across the pond is a welcome sight. Shine two lanterns, too, because the English are again coming by sea.
A book on the long-scrapped RMS Queen Elizabeth and Long Beachs own RMS Queen Mary is displayed on the newer QE. Proper, dapper, cultured, worldly — all the stereotypes Americans bestow on the British — are well accounted for on the Queen Elizabeth, a stately, 2,092-passenger vessel that, like the ship’s namesake monarch, looks fab for her age. Not that the Cunard ship is all that dated at 12 years old.
Brilliant as all this sounds so far, let it be known that the Queen Elizabeth isn’t for everyone, nor does it want to be. Just as London’s Harrods department store or “The Crown” on Netflix aren’t meant for the masses, the Cunard brand exists for clientele that can afford and appreciate or at least adapt to a lifestyle as different from mainstream megaship cruising as Cook’s California Champagne is to Dom Perignon.
