Queen Elizabeth • Highlights of her five-year career

摘要

Registration When Queen Elizabeth entered service, she was registered in Southampton. Her official number, CBTT, was the same as that used on QE2 (1969-2008) and the original Queen Mary (1934-1967). Cunard were at pains to highlight the historical significance of this, as well as the importance of the fleet being registered in England. However, Queen Elizabeth's registration changed a year later to Hamilton, as the Cunard fleet was reregistered in Bermuda. This move, which allowed Cunard to commence a weddings-at-sea programme, was met by an angry reaction from Cunard loyalists, who took to social media to voice their disappointment that the ships would no longer be registered in England. ZCEF2 replaced CBTT as the official number, but despite the negative media, bookings were unaffected.
