I get yourpont. You are being deliberately disingenuous instead of being clever, and you know it. Do you want to argue semantics? I'm not interested.

THanks! I've been iffy about the Brazilian venue.

I was asking for your opinion. Now I believe I will pass. TY

you can't decide what your favorite is?

FIRst time on NORwegian. WILl be on the Escape. WE have specialty dining reserved in the following reruarants: French Bistro Italian Seafood Tapanyaki (spelling?) Cagney's steakhouse Brazillain What is the best dishes in each venue? what can we expect? ALSo, how is the Supper Club?

I"M sailing first timeon the Escaape transatlantic April 8. I See they have 3 MDR. IS the menu rotation the same each night? Also, I was recently on a Royal Caribbean ship and it was awful on mmany fronts. How are the deserts onboard?

Your example is not a not code, it's a custom. You chose to focus on the semantics. How is it that you have determined fomal dress in the evenings is a unofficial 'code'? I take Cunard's policy at face value. It's quite clear. To suggest otherwise does a disservice to those that attempt to follow the written policy in conjunction with what makes them comfortable.

exactly how do you determine an unwritten rule?

Since you are changing cruise lines, you should expect there to be differences. Dress is one of them. You should be prepared to have two formal nights and the rest as one would wear to a nice dinner out at a fancy restaurant. If that isn't to your liking, then Cunard will likely not be to your liking.

I much prefer the cards over any medallion system.

That's our thought. This is a very special trip. My mother is 88 and unlikely to travel to Europe afterward. Cost is a secondary issue. Convenience and ease of travel is primary.

We're going to Southampton the day before embarkation. Just a habit we have for making sure to accommodate any unexpected issues. We embark 8/11

The car service is picking us up at the hotel in Paris and driving us to the hotel in Southampton. As part of the trip we will be taking the car on the train through the Eurotunnel. We have 3 people, three large suitcases, 3 carry-ons, and two folded walkers. So a very large SUV. The cost is 2000 Euros. (which includes the cost of the train). Still interested in the link?

I've hired a car service for the three of us.

really? If you can not drink it you cannot possess it.
