Why the snarky sarcasm? As I said in my previous post, I like to play dress-ups, I think it's fun. I understand it's not for everyone though. To each their own, respect to all.

Which is why I am attracted to Cunard! I love playing dress-ups, always have. But I don't want to take the pretense to the ultimate re-enactment of course.

Thank you Mrs Peel. I am so looking forward to sailing on an ocean liner!

Hello, just joined Cruisecritic today, booked on QM2 from Fremantle to Sydney in Feb 2024. I too am NOT abstemious and have just hit up my credit card for US$1400 for two of us for our ten-day voyage ("voyage" sounds more Cunard than "cruise") just in case the rumours are correct. SO looking forward to sailing! Thanks for all of your tips and advice

Hello, new contributor and only two-time sailor here. Goodness there's a lot of knowledge on this site, thank you! As for "near alcoholic", well if the cap fits I'll wear it, just while I'm on holidays. We are booked on QM2 from Fremantle (Perth) to Sydney in August 2024: I am SO excited! We are getting the drinks package because I don't want to think about checking my onboard account and getting distracted or feeling guilty about how much we have poured down our throats. I will be happy with wines by the glass with meals, very satisfied with British bubbly, enjoy a couple of cocktails each evening and have one or two resuscitative good coffees each morning. You only live once! Many thanks again for sharing all your wisdom and experience.
