reviewed Queen's Hostess on
Go behind the scenes of historic Queen's Line with Annie Moore, the company's longest continuous employee. This saga traces her career from a Lady Assistant Purser in 1962 to Social Hostess on a 21st Century megaliner. Welcome aboard The Goddess, a Queen's Line ship, and one of the most exclusive ocean liners sailing the seven seas. As the Jet Age of the 1960's eclipses ocean travel, the historic British line's future is far from certain. Annie falls in love with the ship's piano player, who leaves her to find his fame and fortune on dry land. With the help of her friends, Annie travels the world in grand style, if only as part of the hired help. As Queen's Line learns to adapt and build ships for a new generation of travelers, Annie learns to treasure her true friends; sand up to thos who take advantage of her, and realzie that love can be worth traveling the world for.
