[exlondoner]

The lion is always at the top in the Grills. 🙂 Must be what all the extra money is for.

I haven’t any pictures of the dining room. I’ve had a look in the brochure, and it is extremely hard to tell from the pictures there. But I do wonder if the third type is actually china, perhaps with the golden lion emblem on.

Still not too clever with photos, but salt and pepper pots a la QG a couple of years ago.

Looks like the same ones used in third...I mean Britannia.

I really need to do some laundry.

 

Well heading off to the sauna now.

But were they all the same? How can one possibly know?

We are listing to Port side pretty hard right now. I'm almost afraid to take the elevator.

I assume all the outside decks are closed off.

Not a clue as I don't use them. They're table decoration as far as I'm concerned, Britannia or QG!

Cunard, the  egalitarian condiment provider.

Same here. And I think the staff are quite quick to remove them when the savoury courses are done. In fact that may mean the china ones, if not a figment of my imagination, no longer appear. The emblem would have made them too tempting to nick.

Bet the MSC Yacht Club has different ones.

I was surprised they weren't earlier. I would imagine by now they are and for the first time the insides are feeling crowded. 

 

I also keep dropping wifi.

Very slow service today. I wonder if they were not able to staff up for the unexpected sea day.

 

Heavy seas will slow the kitchen and service.

That makes sense.

Outside is still open though very sparsely populated.

 

Small snack.

@Blackjackboss can you give a report on the current salt/pepper shaker situation?

[Essiesmom]

Where are the old time HAL waiters with the yard long pepper mill?  EM

They still have those, in the Grills, at any rate. The mills, not the waiters, necessarily. My husband dislikes pepper, and they have fun frightening him with them - in the nicest possible way.

Still in Britannia as well

I will assess the situation when we go to dinner and report back

As V2 said, the line of egalitarian cruet provision. 🙂
