Monks on skis, now there’s a thought.
-
They also conventionally have different epithets applied even when denoting the same object. I might refer to the same garment as a posh frock or a pretty dress, but not so much the other way round.
-
Yet many of the reviews claim QV is tired and dowdy looking.

Cabot Strait?
-
Of course they do. Equally, they probably want to avoid crushing and crowding in the Grand Lobby, and knowing what people are doing might help with this.
-
Why not?
-
See post above mine.

Why would Alex, whoever he is, be giving a talk during dinner?
-
Yes.

On our 2001 voyage, we had the old one. On our next trip in 2004, we had the new one, so some time in the intervening years. We were told by post, not on board.

Doesn’t that just epitomise Cunard? I thought you were going to say ’after a few minutes’ but of course not, it was ‘after a few months’. Why we love them. 😀
-
Snappers. Our posts must have overlapped.
-
To complicate the issue, mine is AA99999A, so 8 characters in total!

The PG cabins on QM2 are very nice, square shaped, and half as big again as the Brit balconies.
-
A shame they couldn’t fit in a Grills Courtyard which has been so popular in the Vistas.

Is Smart Attire what in the US we call Business Casual?

Very possibly, but more relevant to shore excursions than to my observation, which was about mild aesthetic enjoyment. -
There are cups and saucers in the picture of the Grand Lobby. Could they be counting that?

I’m sure there are quite a number who enjoy the spectacle of formal nights, don’t you think? -
Med and Indian are opposite each other at the back of Deck 9. I assume Al Fresco, also at the back of Deck 9 is equivalent to Deck Grill.
