I kept his name ut just went to find it and dont have it any more. I knew it was going to be shown in france ut they didnt mention english tv, hope it ends up on utube or an internet doco file they were everywhere and it would be an interesting program. ps...was a great trip wasnt it... roscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macauley8 Posted August 31, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi Roscoe, yes we had a wonderful trip with so many interesting ports of call not to mention the transiting Panama Canal. We had a great day in Auckland with the afternoon spent in Devonport and a quick visit to the Irish pub on the waterfront before boarding for Wellington. Cheers Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seemed to calm down a lot. We reckon somebody had a strong word with her or put her on some "calm down pills" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone out there have any information re when it might be shown? I have found the email of the film crew. It is contact@night-day.fr . The programme may be called "The Adventures of a Gentleman Voyager. Hope that helps. Perhaps you could post if you find out when and where the series is to be shown on TV ? Best Wishes , Vicki.

ladysail2 Posted June 29, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thank you so much for posting that link. I watched one of the videos and it was great. I'll watch another one later....I'm sure it will be as interesting as the first one. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDBINK1 Posted June 30, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I found the videos interesting. Could have been better if he had done more on the ship and how the passengers interact and form bonds. Still wondering about the story mentioned earlier about some Queen issue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been better if he had done more on the ship and how the passengers interact and form bonds. Still wondering about the story mentioned earlier about some Queen issue?? i suppose enough time has passed, there was a particular passenger and her husband who decided she was "Queen Cunard" and should be addressed as such. She often grabbed the mic and took over presentations until led away by embarrassed officials. There were numerous incidents including her completely removing her clothes in the winter garden one afternoon and changing into a "mumu" (I nearly lost my lunch) and other stories of her and her famous carpet-bag addressing performers on the stage as they were performing. Well known for her outrageous costumes and her penchant for balloons. You had to be there...but she was pretty well known over the ship and was adept at clearing a room...... The producer of the documentary, Simon ALix was a particular subject for her attentions because he was filming and owned a camera, and I think she was stalking him at one stage. Just your typical cunarder really....... Edited June 30, 2015 by roscoe39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
