One should always take off one piece of jewelry before walking out the cabin door for the evening... that's why wearing the largest diamond possible is the wisest choice!!! As far as tiaras are concerned - only colored stone are acceptable during the day (unless you are Princess Margaret or Liz Taylor or a drag queen w limited funds). It is quite acceptable on Cunard to find one on the floor the morning after a gala still wearing a tiara....and hopefully ones pants!!! I always wear one of my tiaras at home- the check out people at the grocery store always ask to try mine on & never reject the expired coupons I thrust upon them!!!(I just say my butler messed up again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the stars." from Now, Voyager (Bette Davis & Paul Heindred), partly set on a cruise ship. I think that film sparked my fascination with cruising. Ooops, of course it's there! Phew. I should hope it's there. Great line from a wonderful movie. My mother loved that movie. I wonder if that's where she got her desire to cruise. Wish I'd thought of that question while she was still here. My interest in cruising came from hers. We saw Mom and Dad off, and I KNEW I wanted to cruise. One night at dinner on QE2, we were doing the "desert island" thing--if you could take only 5 movies, what would you choose? My five all included ships--Now Voyager. Sabrina (the original), An Affair to Remember (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr), Shall We Dance (Fred and Ginger) and I can't remember the fifth one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD@SEA Posted August 28, 2023 #105 Share Posted August 28, 2023 This quote sums up all that is important in LIFE - whether onboard a luxury Liner or on land - "Always remember two things: I love you and the name of the bank." Molly Brown - from the movie - "THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN" I would like to add to that "& the combination of the safe" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
