Ah yes Parsman, but when you were invited as a solo passenger, was there a solo lady invited to sit next to you? In other words, are there always equal numbers of males and females in a male/female configuration round the table? In which case, who knows, we might one day get invited if there are two solo males going spare.:)

On my recommendation, a friend and his lady friend sailed on Balmoral and came back enthusing, saying what a lovely ship it was.

They also said how they'd enjoyed being invited to the Captain's table. I remarked how lucky they were and how we had sailed many times on all Fred's ships and had NEVER been invited to the Captain's table.

He replied that as we were two ladies (friends who happen to holiday together)we were never likely to be invited. The Captain's table was for mixed couples only, and two people of same gender are hardly likely to get an invite.

Is this true?? Really?? Surely not.
