On 12 August 2015, the QE2 was observed to have been moved from her berth within Dubai Dry Docks, where she had been since January 2013, to a more open location within Port Rashid. On 17 November 2015, QE2 was again moved within Port Rashid, to the former cruise terminal. It was not known whether these recent moves are connected with any of the publicly known plans regarding the ship's fate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theqe2story.com/forum/index.php/topic,7066.0.html|title=Positions of QE2 since 26.11.2008|website=www.theqe2story.com}}</ref>

Between May and August 2016, observers noted that the ship's lifeboats were lowered and stored on a nearby car park. Following this, the lifeboat [[davit]]s were removed in September, giving the ship an altered profile on her boat deck. Subsequently, the wooden decking was removed from the deck and replaced by synthetic block flooring.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theqe2story.com/forum/index.php/topic,7341.0.html|title=Lifeboats/Davits Removal 2016 and Discussion After That|website=www.theqe2story.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://maritimematters.com/2017/01/hotel-ships-and-qe2-preservation-versus-practicalities/ | title=Hotel Ships and QE2 – Preservation versus Practicalities| work=Maritime Matters &#124; An archive of Maritime Matters 2006-2018| date=20 January 2017}}</ref>
