  1. First the landing arrangements arrive, which is slightly depressing, and then one comes back from breakfast to find the luggage mat is in the bed, and one knows it will soon be over, which is considerably more depressing.
  2. Looks cracked to me. And, if one worries about these things, a health hazard. Shouldn’t be out.
  3. Which is pretty indicative of how many airlines view their passengers.
  4. I’m sorry, I’ve just realised that sounds awful. I should have said boarding, not loading. They are passengers, not cargo. 🙂
  5. And table cloths, clichéd ones, admittedly, but still table cloths.
  6. None of us think the ship is going to sink, and it probably won’t. But shipping companies are bound to plan on the basis it might. Imagine if it did, and there were too many wheelchair users for the crew to find and evacuate. Imagine the gripping headlines: ‘Disabled passengers abandoned and left to drown by heartless cruise line.’
  7. It will probably be fine, though, if they haven’t started loading, you may be made to wait outside until the crowd in the terminal thins out.
  8. Try Cunard for excellent libraries, and nice places to read.
  9. Just to be certain, while you were negative, were you allowed to use the bars and restaurants?
  10. I too much prefer cold toast and butter, but I would just like the bread to be thicker and have more character. The stuff you usually get for toast is very feeble.
  11. I once asked for thick toast at breakfast in the QG, and was surprised when our lovely waiter looked less than enthusiastic. That very day we went on the Ship’s Tour, and I discovered just how many flights of stairs the unfortunate waiter had to trek down to get it. I have never asked for it again, though I must say the toast is one of the least good things in QG.
  12. .But don’t they sometimes do this simply to avoid arriving early. As, for instance, between Cherbourg and Southampton, as another ship may be using the space or some such.
  13. I think there are a number of people who go on Cunard just to complain about the food, when they have inventoried the rust patches. Cruet monitoring needs a higher level of sophistication of course.
  14. Cruise ships are not usually totally 100% booked up. They always leave a few empty cabins to cope with plumbing catastrophes and the like.
  15. If you look at the Cunard reviews, some (not all) people have been saying the same thing for years.
  16. Can you get them to move you? A cabin that can’t guarantee sleep is ludicrous.
  17. When I went to a talk by a couple of officers on one of the Vistas, they said they always took on water at every port where they could.
  18. So we hope the processing plant doesn’t break down in mid Atlantic. In fact we hope very much.
  19. If that little kitten hasn’t found its way home, I fear you may be doomed. 🙂
