Ooooops. Sorry, not that one, the green one. 🙂

As with the dreaded gingerbread villages which will no doubt appear in December, my only response is ‘Why?’.
-
Completely beyond my comprehension I’m afraid - but I never understood pop music even when young - last year, obviously.
-
It’s also fun to see how far people go back. A WC party I attended had someone with thousands of nights who had started on the first Caronia.
-
Scallops or fillet, not too bad!
-
Yes, that too came across. 🙂
-
That’s a bit quick.
-
Thank you for this report. It seems a shame on such a lengthy cruise that the negatives seem so much to outweigh the positives.

Thank you for all your posts, which have well conveyed the enjoyment you experienced. Such a shame the end was so frustrating. And worse still that the man lied to you about disembarkation. I suppose the thing to do is to make them write it down. -
Cunard dock there and lots of other lines. And, I believe, there’s cheap fuel. UK passengers like it, if it’s an early port of call, because there is a Marks and Spencer, so they can buy anything they’ve forgotten.

It looks as if it may be something to do with Spain. US citizens seem to be having problems crossing that border. Where was you previous port? Next one?
-
That is the joy of it, but I can see why it was not for you. As one who doesn’t eat eggs (not an allergy, just massive dislike), I think having two desserts with custard is not very good planning.

In fact the duck was probably my fault. 🙁 The duck is meant to be cooked to a softness.
-
Duck confit cottage pie is one of my fave lunch dishes, but if you don’t much like duck…

I remember Chengkp75 saying that his hair got greyer by the day, when he was a chief and the ship was in for a refit.

I really wouldn’t bother with Winchester, stay in Southampton. If you really want to live dangerously, take the Hythe Ferry over the estuary and admire the waterfront from there. Then come back at once.

So, if I get this right, there is no cruet egalitarianism on MSC. The YC cruets are different from the MDR. Just what I suspected. 🙂 Morning all.

Sounds ghastly. What an awful combination of circs. All Cunard’s fault, obviously. -

I always used to make mine (the younger ones anyway) stand up, which was by no means universal practice in the school. It was a way of signalling the start of the lesson, and they didn’t seem to mind. -

Very good. We used to have to thank the teacher for the lesson at the end. gratias tibi agimus. I never made my pupils do that. -
How could you resist the duck breast?
-
Much better.
-
Much nicer menu tonight.
-
Too stressful, and not enough time to make it worthwhile to go to London. But there is a maritime museum, an air museum, a Tudor merchant’s house, an art gallery, bits of possibly Roman wall, and excellent chocolate brownies in John Lewis West Quay.

I remember the fiasco, I don’t remember the reason. If it was immigration, I withdraw my compliment.
