NSWP Posted January 22, 2018 #76 Share Posted January 22, 2018 LOL We always at least say bonjour and Merci beaucoup - that's about the extent of my high school French retention. :D The French in France and in French Territories around the world can get a little aggro re people using the English language, as can the French Canadians.

GUT2407 Posted January 23, 2018 #77 Share Posted January 23, 2018 LOL We always at least say bonjour and Merci beaucoup - that's about the extent of my high school French retention. :D But that seems to be all they want, a basic attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banzaii Posted January 23, 2018 #78 Share Posted January 23, 2018 But that seems to be all they want, a basic attempt. I agree. We have even had people tell us 'no speak English' until we try to dig out enough French to get our point across very poorly. Thing is you know they can understand us just fine so poor are our attempts at French! :D That's why we learnt to start with a big smile and a bonjour!

Rinalouise Posted January 23, 2018 #81 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I did on my Christmas cruise. Mostly because the temps on the islands were 30-35°c plus awful humidity. One island I’ll always skip because I can’t swim well (or snorkel for that matter) is Mare. Honestly I didn’t mind staying on the ship in aircon. No queues for buffet food nobody in pools or spa baths hardly anyone at trivia contests and nobody in the arcades! It also gave me the opportunity to find a quite open space to work on my choreography for my Lip Sync Battle.
