MattInFLL Posted August 11, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I could not get the link to work.. so perhaps this is in there.. but I love the fact that the word POSH comes from an old ship term. Port Outbound, Starboard Home. When traveling to America from the England, the wealthy would want the Port side going, and the Starboard side coming back to ensure sun in the cabin for warmth. So a POSH booking was something to aspire to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Island Lady Posted August 11, 2004 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I knew the term, but didn't know where it came from. Thanks Matt! My favorite term is Berth. My favorite part of planning the cruise and favorite part of the ship is my berth. ;) I love being able to pick it out, do research on the location and just love hanging out on those sunny balconies! I guess you could say that I am a POSH person. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
