Yeah I know. That's what we thought. It's definately a punishemnt not a reward. Being thrown in the brig would be preferable to drinking Pol Acker. I pity the poor unsuspecting first-timers who drink it believing it's half decent, but I do suppose you have to learn the hard way!

Dont pity us, I still remember the excitement of getting to cabin, sorry stateroom and seeing a lovely little bottle of fizz in a champagne bucket with loads of ice and a nifty napkin, we were v. chuffed and were'nt expecting it, course didnt know it would make you look like a bulldog licking p*ss off a thistle when you drank it, still we were 'appy.

Chippendales??? Are you kidding??? Be still my heart!! I wonder if they like silver hair??? VERY premature silver of course!!! I could celebrate my birthday on the NOv 10th trip...and do it legitimately too!! Where do I sign up for a visit from Chippendales....of course they don't HAVE to come to the dining room...a cabin visit will suffice :D Wouldn't want them to waste all that energy walking ALL the way thru Britannia you know....:rolleyes:

 

Cheers, Penny

I left an unopened full-sized bottle of Pol Acker in my cabin last month; just couldn't face the thought of consuming it.:p

 

Julia

 

And I wonder how many times it had been left? And will be left in the future?

I gave ours to the cabin steward who smiled and nodded graciously and probably went around the corner and gagged...again!! :rolleyes:

LOL and then LOL again.

 

I usually take one bottle to breakfast for mimosas, then I have to work out what to do with the other two. I tried giving one to the bedroom steward once but even he didn't want it ( smart ).

 

-----edit --- after I just posted this I now see Penny also tried to pass it off the the bedroom steward. Gosh, this stuff is like trying to give ice to an eskimo.

I would pay you, delicate flower of the south, to see your cabin filled with Chippendales dancers. In singles, of course, for your later use....

What?! :eek:

 

Ok, I'll admit, we had our bottle downed before the ship even departed! :D

Hey, it's there, it's free, a cheap buzz for sailaway... I'm easy. ;)

But we made up for it with nightly visits to David's, known to many of you as the Princess Bar. Yum.

Now, would that compel you to get a larger cabin, or.....a smaller, cozier one!? :eek:

 

You want it all in singles, yes? ;)

You can have my bottle in January. I did finish the bottle of wine from my TA.

Alas I know no Wagner

Except Adolf was his pal

I always thought the Ring Cycle

Was an intersection round Pall Mall

 

I like the sound of Cellos

As they trickle onto ice

A strange drink loved by cousins

The ones that don't chase mice

 

And present themselves on CC

As talking cats, and more

As ballroom dancers dancing

Upon the sacred floor

 

Of the QE2 of fame

Of (but not of) Celebrity

It's time to consign this poem(?)

To eternal eternity.

 

Well good Cunarders rich

Not so rich and poor

There's a caterwaullin' buidling

and a scratcin' at your door.

 

Maybe it's Sir Marin

Maybe the obese grey

Maybe it's Lord Stanley

So grand, so fine, so fey.

 

But maybe it's the bar bill

Your bank account to knacker

Maybe you shouldn't order

Quite so much Pol Acker.

 

Hic.

 

Could you please use the word large in place of obese. HRHugeness is largely offended by the "o" word.:p

There was a suggestion that there could be a "Pol Acker" exchange where the dipsomaniacs could relieve the epicures of a dreadful responsibility.

I don't know that the "dipsomaniacs" would be exchanging anything... seems this would be stictly a one-way street.

No. The dipsomaniacs would relieve the epicures of the responsibility of politely getting rid of the bottle. Definitely two way street.

 

You get the PA. I get the room in the cabin. Sounds like a good deal to me!
