yes, I live under a rock... how do you pronounce "lido"?

[ViolaSwamp]

Lee-dough

:confused:

 

:o

 

On RCCL that area was called the Windjammer buffet and I don't recall hearing a deck referred to as the "Lido Deck".

 

I don't want to get onboard and ask directions to the Lido and mispronounce it. :p

We`ve just boarded the Veendam for 14 days and went to the Lido as directed. While enjoying lunch, our friend Sharon,a veteran of many cruises on HAL,looks through the glass windows towards the pool.

The word Lido is painted on the outside of the glass so she`s looking at the wording sort of backwards, if you can picture it.

In all seriousness she says,"They now call this restaurant the Jibo".

 

Of course we all laughed until we cried.

For the next 14 days we referred to the Lido as the Jibo.

And the "elevator voice", at least on the Eurodam, mispronounces "Promenadd" as "Promenaid"!

[Stevesan]

And the "elevator voice", at least on the Eurodam, mispronounces "Promenadd" as "Promenaid"!

 

Tomahto, Tomayto - Let's call the whole thing off!!!

[MadManOfBethesda]

And the "elevator voice", at least on the Eurodam, mispronounces "Promenadd" as "Promenaid"!

 

FWIW, the "elevator voice" isn't mispronouncing it; both are correct. In fact, according to my Webster's, promenade with a long a sound is the preferred pronounciation.

[the_dylaness]

Myself and DH always pronounce it as

 

Lee-dough

whoa oh oh ohhhh

 

:D

[MadManOfBethesda]

ROFL!!:D

 

Thanks for the flashback to the 70s!

[usha]

I've always pronounced "lido":

HOGG-TROFF;)

[GeriatricNurse]

Tomahto, Tomayto - Let's call the whole thing off!!!

 

 

 

Tomayto would be correct!

Yes, but Webster's is an American dictionary, isn't it?

I prefer Oxford!

After booking my first cruise on the Ryndam, I spent six months telling everyone I was going on a cruise on the "Rinn-dam". Imagine my surprise when I was welcomed aboard the "Rine-dam". Oops.

[HWH]

Myself and DH always pronounce it as

 

Lee-dough

whoa oh oh ohhhh

 

:D

 

So, going through the buffet line would be the "Lido Shuffle"?

[innlady1]

Tomayto would be correct!

 

You say potato and I say potahto,

You say tomato and I say tomahto....

Potato, potahto...tomato, tomahto....

Let's call the whole thing off!

[niborHS]

It's spelled "throat warbler mangrove", but it's pronounced "Luxury Yacht". Very appropriate for this board. Now the first one who tells me where that is from wins.
