U12RD04 Posted June 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am contemplating using Cunard's White Star luggage forwarding service to get our luggage to the Queen Mary 2 from our home in Minneapolis in August 2009. Has anyone had experience with this service? Does the luggage really get to your stateroom on board or do you have to claim it somewhere in Brooklyn at embarkation time, not a happy prospect.

milkcow Posted June 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Expensive but super wonderful and well worth it. Luggage lands in your cabin. Great if you are spending an extra day in New York: no hassle with the extra stuff, with hotel porters, taxis, or port luggage handlers.

U12RD04 Posted August 4, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Made in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, a Pink Gin contains gentian and a dash of 'pink'. 'Pink' referring to the Angostura bitters, a dark red extract of gentian and spices. This is typically an English way of drinking and enjoying gin. Also called Gin and Bitters, the Pink Gin cocktail was created by the Royal Navy. They created the drink in order to make Angostura bitters more enjoyable. The Royal Navy used the bitters to treat medical conditions in sailors; furthermore, it was also used to treat seasickness. The Recipe This recipe serves 1 1 measure gin 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters Coat the sides of a chilled martini glass with the Angostura bitters, add chilled gin and serve. The Recipe This recipe serves 1 1 measure gin 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters Coat the sides of a chilled martini glass with the Angostura bitters, add chilled gin and serve. Cheers!
