A chuckle--the ship is the VALor, not the VelOUR!

[Kittymama]

I heard from someone "in the know" in Carnival reservations that many TAs, when booking the ship, refer to it as the VelOUR (like the fabric), instead of the VALor (the heroism). We're kind of wondering if that is something of a commentary on today's society--that people just don't hear about things like valor & courage.

 

My sister suggested that it could become a whole new theme for Carnival ships--the Velour, the Suede, the Satin, the Taffeta... (kind of fun to think up names!).

The Flannel :D

[Kittymama]

Wouldn't the flannel be for Holland America? ;->

[Boston6]

Hmmm...the Leather might be a fun ship!

[Bunkie103]

The NYLON could do the Eastern "run". :D

[Brneyznfl]

For those older ships like the Jubilee and the Holiday, how about that awful outdated 70's material called...corduroy! :eek:

The Shag..for 3 day cruises

 

The Brocade- for 8 day

How about satin or leather and lace.

For trhose who are concerned about "nickle and diming," the Polyester!

[JudyAL]

The flannel is the name of the deck on the ships where you can go topless - the flannel deck

What's the name of that stuff that edible underwear is made of?????

:D

[IBEEMOM]

How about seersucker or double knit?

[Kittymama]

LOL guys! I think we should submit this to Bob Dickinson! (LOVE the idea of the "Carnival Edible Undies!")

[Forchunut1]

Here are a few:

 

The Chintz - for those on a budget

The Silk - for those who like their cruises soft and smooth

The Wool - for those who are always cold in the winter

The Chiffon - for those who like to stand at the railing and flutter in the breeze

The Poie de Soie - for those who like fancy words and put on airs

The Cotton - for those who just want to be comfortable

The Velvet - for those who like a little "nap" now and then

 

:D :D :D

[hstrybuf]

These are cute! What's Poie de Soie?

[Forchunut1]

Poie de Soie is a French fabric that is similar to satin and is used for wedding dresses. (I used to have a bridal dressmaking business!)

I suppose that BURLAP is out of the question? I have won several potato-sack races, but will assure you that I will never show up in the dining room wearing DENIM jeans!! (Now, denim capris...possibly) :)

[voyagerfl]

that awful outdated 70's material called...corduroy!

Hey, I'm still waiting for corduroy to make a come back! That and Jeans that are not Relaxed, Baggy or Loose.....

[BLUEICE]

I was also thinking Chiffon but somebody posted it already.

 

 

So now I am thinking about Rayon (?).

 

Cute post LOL at all of them.

[Snowball]

Since we are talking about cruise ships, I guess denim would be out :eek: (or maybe not :p). :D

[jemingway]

How about the Carnival Rubber? It's waterproof and floats(among other things).:D

[vedward]

How about the NAUGA-HIDE ..the look of leather (???!) but easy to clean ..good for high traffic areas ;)
