Surely you wear long pants and a jacket when it gets cold.  This is really no different.

I live in Florida, it doesn't get cold 😆.

 

No jacket in Alaska last year except the day I did the glacier excursion.

 

 I do wear long pants at work, but that is back to dress code versus what I would choose to wear.

It could get plenty cold (and windy) enough in the Atlantic on the route QM2 takes. 😀

I bet.

 

I didn't spend much time outside in Alaska except when in port.

 

Today's not an outside day either, with the wind it is quite chilly in Bermuda.

And, for some reason, the air conditioning on Cunard ships can be somewhat erratic, and there have been times when I’ve really needed a jacket in the restaurant.

Mind you, there have been other times when I’ve been desperately hot.

I'll take cold over hot any day. I can always add clothes. When I start taking them off, I get funny looks.

I imagine that is when the pineapples are in season.

I’ve never thought about it in that way, but it could well be.

Halloween decorations gone. 

 

 

Let's bring on the Christmas decorations!

Yes but I had no help remembering to check the salt and pepper and I have no idea if the pasta I ate was correctly labeled.

 

I was so naive then.

 

It would take a cloak of invisibility to make me look fantastic 😆 

 

I know my mom would love a picture though.

We need to get some Mom pressure and guilt to get our friend into a proper tux.

You might, with luck, get him in a tux. I suspect a cummerbund will be a step too far.

I worked retail for many years, and I dreaded the holiday season. Now, I can't wait for Maria Carry to serenade me!

Just think of a Cunard formal night as a job, investigative reporting. 

[jam19872016]

The captain has warned us of more rocky seas this evening.

Most of my jobs have paid me 😅

 

And what if I spend the money, wear the tux, and then they can't even get the logo placement right? My entire trip will be ruined.

That would be a downer, and you would have to complain, charmingly but viciferously.

I’ll bet you could find a tux with shorts in Bermuda…. EM

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 659 with under 10 minute wait.

[jam19872016]

Table ready at 7.

 

I'm surprised I enjoy this menu as I don't like Mexican food but I've enjoyed what I ordered each time.

So a 1 minute wait.  Not bad.

 

I'm hoping to see the nachos.

Not bad at all.

 

Still waiting on first course. I don't think it should be taking this long but I think it's my mom holding things up. I'll find out if the plates of food sitting on the server stand get brought to us when she decides to stop baby sitting her bread course.

[jam19872016]

Nope that wasn't the problem not sure why we're running slow.
