Another Live from thread - Queen Victoria Greek Islands
exlondoner replied to rakkor's topic in Cunard Line
Also, the vocative, so you could use it to address a passing girl. Always useful. -
All true, and lines such as MSC, NCL, and some others I can’t remember, seem to have much more distinction, yet Cunard is the one people get put off, because it has a class system.

That is a delightful thing to say. I must admit I’m not sure I’d be terribly humorous if my luggage had ended up in the harbour. But I spent a whole career making pupils find Latin grammar amusing (and memorable), so I’ve had plenty of practice. -
As V2 said, the line of egalitarian cruet provision. 🙂
-
Isn’t Singapore one of very few ports outside the US where everyone has to do immigration? I believe they are very efficient, though.
-
They still have those, in the Grills, at any rate. The mills, not the waiters, necessarily. My husband dislikes pepper, and they have fun frightening him with them - in the nicest possible way.
-
Are you implying that somehow there might not be?🙂

Yes, I’ve seen some pictures. Absolutely dire, particularly if one has to travel. -

Yes, the weather down here is much better than feared. -
Bet the MSC Yacht Club has different ones.
-
Same here. And I think the staff are quite quick to remove them when the savoury courses are done. In fact that may mean the china ones, if not a figment of my imagination, no longer appear. The emblem would have made them too tempting to nick.
-
I assume all the outside decks are closed off.
-
But were they all the same? How can one possibly know?

Wretched for you. -
As early as that? I usually find a sip or two of cabin g+t helps concentrate the mind. In any case, the choice diminishes as the cruise progresses, as I have to choose from what still fits.
-
I haven’t any pictures of the dining room. I’ve had a look in the brochure, and it is extremely hard to tell from the pictures there. But I do wonder if the third type is actually china, perhaps with the golden lion emblem on.
-
Apart from anything else, I can’t imagine owning that many clothes. Or even half that many.
-
The lion is always at the top in the Grills. 🙂 Must be what all the extra money is for.
-
I don’t know what angle you photographed the plate from, but, whatever it was, it doesn’t look as if the Cunard emblem is at the top. You need to get on to that as well! 🙂 I don’t know how it works, but wouldn't you think that, as the staff who were going ashore are obviously still on the ship, they would be happy to postpone their day off? But maybe they do need a rest.

So that’s what gateau opera looks like. For some reason I’ve never had it, but will next time. Hope the pineapple was the expected temp.
-
Did the Captain say when he expected the weather to improve?

A miserable end to what seems to have been a splendid cruise. When were you eventually allowed off? -
I like it when you get tiny waves in the bath. As you see, I don’t need major excitements.
-
At least it explains the omission of Ajaccio. Was it going to be a tender port? We docked there when I went.
-
Too many waves.
