In September 2021, Carnival plc contacted us urgently needing some strong parasols for the Boardwalk Cafe on Deck 12 during the refit of RMS Queen Mary 2.

The parasols had to be rust-proof and lightweight but still secure enough to withstand wind and rain on the open deck. The parasols also had to complement their new round tables.

Working with the Carnival Refits & Projects team, we supplied twelve Quattro 3m round red parasols, with specially powder-coated anodized aluminium to prevent seawater rust.

RMS Queen Mary 2 is the only ocean ‘liner’ in the world still in service. She has served as the flagship of Cunard Line since succeeding the QE2 in 2004.

The ‘Four Queens’ are Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the brand new Queen Anne.
