Ah yes, so much dangerous sea air shrinking your clothes.

Luckily the ship has a very good library. I think it sounds pretty blissful, providing the weather is calm, though I can see it’s a huge disappointment for those wishing to visit the Med. ports.

I thought it looked like spinach (which I dislike) and then thought it couldn’t be as it was breakfast.

Goodness, that sounds a bit daring. Did I advance an argument or was it simply that all food is good in moderation, which is undoubtedly true? What is the droopy green stuff?

Bottled water is fine. I suspect milk may contravene various national food safety rules.

Is the man in the top picture a Humphrey Bogart impersonator? If not, why not?

Don’t they have a TV channel for that sort of stuff? I wonder what time it starts on port days? Even earlier, before arrival presumably?

Also says she is arriving on Jan 11, bizarrely.

Last week the flag was a different one. Don’t know my flags, so no idea what.

Absolutely ghastly. Another reason to choose Cunard. 😀

You won’t be made uncomfortable.

It seems to me the only reason for having pineapples on your door is so you can invert them when the mood takes you.

A black suit is fine. If not, M and S is your friend. But, honestly, a black suit is fine.

Which is very fortunate, all things considered.

Actually, stilettos are good because they aerate the lawn. Makes a mess of the shoes though.

I know appearances aren’t everything, but I thought those freshly made while cakes that appeared sometimes on Carnival looked far more inviting.

And is it permanently cordoned off, so you can only look at it?

This may be a naive question, but is it real? And of course the second question, as with gingerbread villages, is why?

Weather looks a bit discouraging. You not going to have another bad weather cruise, are you?

I believe so. Or at about 5 pm on a Friday.

Glad to have caught up with you again. Remember to check out the salt and pepper. It could make or break the cruise.

We clearly live in very different worlds. I should be very disconcerted by the thought that someone who purported to love me wanted to know what I was doing whenever I wasn’t with them. I’m not sure that equates to chatting about Cunard when not on board. I’m not sure what you mean by endlessly, but will take it as a signal to shut up and stop trying sometimes to be helpful for the rest of the week.

Why do you want to know what people and dogs are doing in your absence? Spoils the break. Of course the other way the development of an effective app impinges on everyone is that it would cast a lot of money. In the case of Cunard, an awful lot of money, because they would have to employ two sets of people, the second to correct all the messes made by the first lot. 😀 I should much prefer the money to be spent on other things, such as further improving food quality and choice, perhaps paying some staff a little more, having better value tours, employing quartets rather than trios, etc.

Nothing as academic as that, but we’ve all seen accounts of people who have nothing better to do using cctv to watch stuff that is not in their remit.

Incidentally, I had a random survey from Cunard yesterday, or rather my spouse did, and I don’t think it asked a single question about IT, but that could be because I hadn’t listed it among things that were important to me in an early question.
