Beatriz Orejudo of Lantimar, the consignee for HMS Queen Elizabeth during the aircraft carrier's stay in Palma, says that the financial benefit for the island will be enormous. Spending, she explains, is very high, as can be seen from reservations made through her company for the likes of restaurants, exclusive taxi hire and five-star hotels (for officers).

If the state of some of the lads is anything to go by in Palma on Friday night then the bars will be doing well too. Noisy but well behaved. The officers sat nearby to us in one establishment, however epitomised the class divide that still pervades in the navy and military in the UK. Didn’t hear any US voices. Are they keeping the US marines locked up on board? Or are they not allowed to mix ashore? Curious to know. Either way this’ll be more benefit to Palma’s hotels, bars and restaurants than any cruise ship.
