Default Any News on the QE2?

Has anyone heard any news on the future of the QE2?

The last I heard last summer was she was heading to S. Africa to be a
floating hotel while her owners in Dubai delayed her final conversion
and porting at her new island. (However an AP story today says she's
docked in Dubai awaiting conversion)

Since then, Dubai World and Nakheel have started scrambling for
capital to stay afloat - and I've been wondering what is to come of
our beloved QE2.

Hi Mark,

The word on the street is they are looking to unload any and all
assets including the QE2. I also feel your pain.
