Selfloadingcargo Posted January 27, 2009 Author #151 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Stick around Jamie, it gets better! Jimmy I admit.., this is not what we expected, but excellent harmless fun nonetheless! Ok then, we're looking forward to our trip, now I'm not going to mention tips, ;) but we do like a table for two, are the Maitre d's in the Grills as uptight as has been mentioned? We can't stand snobbishness or greasy palms! :eek: J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted January 27, 2009 #152 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have a question, Grizzly. Do you truly call men's dress shoes, black leather pumps? I have never heard a gentlemen's shoe referred to as a pump before--it has always been women's high heels. Perhaps it is another difference in the two languages? Gail, shhhh!! We don't want everyone to know that Gari wears high heels. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorchester Posted January 27, 2009 #154 Share Posted January 27, 2009 David, may I call you David, (we have not after all been introduced,) I could not agree with you more. I must take up your point about the tailor though because anyone walking abroad with trousers as you have described obviously does not HAVE a tailor and must, perforce, purchase Pert a porter. Standards dear chap, standards on an ever quickening downward rush.Garik. Gari. It would appear that there is a possibility that you may have misconstrued my reference to Tailor. It is patently obvious that I was referring to Mr. George Tailor. It appears that this chap Tailor designs really cheap and shoddy clothes, and retails them under a label bearing his first name (George), via a national UK supermarket chain. As it reduces his production costs to manufacture only one length of trousers, he chose 'long'. Alas the poor misguided souls who purchase his products believe that they are purchasing the latest line in fashion. Thus one frequently sees such individuals displaying grossly ill-fitting garments with apparent smugness and complacency, in the sadly mistaken belief that they are wearing a mode élevée garment!

Nor are the maitre'd's uptight! Just be sure to check your table arrangements when you get on the ship and if they are not what you want, go immediately to your maitre'd and they will correct the arrangements for you. And please, no $50 tip upfront! ;):rolleyes:;) And you will find that your journey will be filled with wonderfully nice fellow passengers and crew members!

And if there is any hesitation to get the table you desire pull out the $50 bill. Remember you spent good money to go on this trip and another $50 to get the table you desire is a small price to pay.

You certainly don't need more than that to get what you want in the Britannia Restaurant. On the other hand, if you are in doubt, flaunt whatever you have--but remember, a little of it, will go a long ways!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
