    I blame Thatcher. Or the parents.

    If they upgrade it with more luxurious cabins and more courteous staff and improve the dining facilities it would make a great prison ship of asylum processing centre.

    Only fair.

    When I moved to America in 1985, we went across on QE2. Five days of luxury - shame I was a bit young to appreciate it all. They cocked up our restaurant booking, though, so they upgraded us to the first class dining room, which was pretty swanky.

    QE2, what a dump, it is owned by the yanks anyway (part of the Carnival group).
