imacruizer Posted October 10, 2008 #255 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Since Penny will be embarking on her "Transatlantic Affair" in just a few days, I thought this might be a good time to share the first "Affair" with new Cunard cruisers. We all look forward to the next edition!!!! Bon Voyage, Penny!!! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a 'once in a lifetime' TA on her in 2006, but we are taking our 5th TA, this time on QV in January! We had never been on a ship before 2006 & Carole Marlow was onboard. When we told her it was our first time on a ship she said "well you've started with the best". Boy was she right. I know QV isn't as majestic as 'our' Mary, but she's still very much a Cunard & beautiful in her own way. Even better, a winter crossing!:D:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM2Dreamz Posted January 7, 2010 #273 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Pat - I know that this is an old thread, but I'm happy to have discovered it. Your writing gift is very rare. Thanks for sharing it - the QM2 is breathtaking when seen through your eyes. I'm off to read all of the "affair" installments.....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkala Posted January 7, 2010 #274 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Penny: You have written all the words and emotions I have felt about the lady..but could not put them to paper as well as you. I also feel in love with her.....and booked a 2nd trip in November 2010. Keep writing Penny...I look forward to your next post..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted January 7, 2010 #275 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I agree, Penny has a way with words, her descriptions are superb, her prose is beyond praise, her writing grabs and involves her readers on many levels. Re-reading this made me realise, all over again, how useful and informative it is. Some of us can’t write anything. Many others, like me, have a go at writing our thoughts and memories down. But Penny shows us how it should be done, with wit, style and deep understanding of her subject. I am so very pleased to see this thread once more, it is a joy to read again.
