I don't want to get onboard and ask directions to the Lido and mispronounce it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudscraper Posted December 30, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks for saving me from embarrassment... :) 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. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManOfBethesda Posted December 30, 2008 #16 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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.

HWH Posted December 30, 2008 #22 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niborHS Posted December 30, 2008 #25 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
