Cunard Cruisers - How are things where you are ?
exlondoner replied to Host Hattie's topic in Cunard Line
I’ve been thinking about this at length, and it is probably normally right, but I would mention The Lady Vanishes and The Third Man as films that are better than the book, and In a Lonely Place, but the story there is radically changed. -
She is following QV up the North Sea, not that far behind. Will she catch her up to say hello?

My father, who wasn’t an actual Cockney, but did grow up in inner London, in the pleasingly called World’s End, a working class area of Chelsea, genuinely used to talk like that.
-
On current form, I wouldn’t be able to cheat, because I wouldn’t remember!
-
Quite. It is baffling to me that, having had seemingly great success with the singles they’ve retrofitted on the other ships, Cunard decided not to have them in QA from the start.
-
Just at the moment, I should like an ‘I am a moron’ button.

Well, that obviously made a deep impression. Oh dear. Next, I’ll be swearing I’ve never been on a Cunard ship, despite evidence to the contrary. Apologies all round. BTW, I really haven’t had a yearbook since Covid, I’ve just checked. Apologies again. Redfaced of Bournemouth

Lisbon? Now somebody is going to tell me it is Grimsby, I suppose. 🙂
-
Nope, not me. Was there an on line version?
-
Well, there you are. More favouritism for US passengers. 😀 I can’t swear I didn’t, though I don’t think I did.
-
I have just had one too. I think it is my first since Covid.
-
Try the wonderful covered market.
-
Exactly.

Cruising on Queen Victoria with walking difficulties
exlondoner replied to fabnfortysomething's topic in Cunard Line
Obviously a much less important issue, but it always amazes me, when people occasionally say they were astonished to discover after boarding that they were expected to dress up (ie not wear shorts) for dinner. -

Yes indeed. But, on the other hand, the quoted passage does say ‘all guests’ which may well not be what it means. -

This doesn’t accord with the fact it said when I booked that QG passengers would get priority embarkation. They can’t rescind that, if it was promised when I booked. Or is it simply referring to passengers needing assistance? -

Well, I found a section in MyCunard called On Board Needs, which appears to link to it. I don’t know whether it works. -
My problem is the varying meanings of pants. I’m never quite sure what’s going on. 🙂
-
But you have in fact made it too easy for them, by including the rhyming bit. Many would stop at dog. Now I’m off up the apples to have a butcher’s at something.

Another thing we see differently: I enjoy tea in the PG so much more, because there is so much more room on the table, and the comparative levels of the chair and table make dealing with the food easier.

But possibly less forgetful, or less prone to forgetting when convenient. 🙂 -
Are the MDR are all the food menus open? I agree, a (small, of course) glass of wine with the first meal shows the holiday has begun.

When he said he would be on his feet nearly all the time at work, it struck me for a fleeting moment he might be a ballet dancer, but I dismissed the idea. 😀

I was inferring that everyone got access to their cabin on boarding at, say, 11. Of course, if they are not allowed in until1.30, that is plenty of time. Your suggestion that people may not have much hand luggage does not accord with the picture our hero posted of the queue to check in at Barcelona, nor with his statement that there is hand luggage everywhere.
