  1. I bet. Probably an unpleasant sight too. (Sorry just couldn’t resist.)
  2. Rather a boring menu, unless you really like pork, and I have found the pork fillet didn’t have much flavour.
  3. The views forward from the QM2 Library are unparalleled, and a distraction from any book.
  4. This is a nice time of year for Rome, but, honestly, how much can you do in a day?
  5. The Daily Programme for the next day appears in paper version on your bed every evening. Don't know for sure about my voyage, but can’t imagine it is that useful. You won’t lose your husband, unless you want to, the ships are not that big, and anyway he’ll magically reappear at meal times.
  6. I know someone who took two different sized dinner jackets etc. on a world cruise.
  7. I’ve just looked it up. Looking out for them will certainly enliven my next cruise, though given the age and decrepitude of so many Cunard passengers, I’m not that hopeful.
  8. Don’t see many forest berries either. I’m sure it’s nice though, but possibly a little dry.
  9. Did you have the butler unpack for you? I never know how people find anything in those circs.
  10. Does this have a double meaning I don’t know, or do you mean upside down cake or perhaps pineapples from Australia even? I too lead a sheltered life, just not to the extent of expecting everything - or, indeed anything - to be perfect. 🙂
  11. Well that is something. I read a review of the QM2, by someone whose entire cruise was utterly ruined, largely because the roasted pineapple had been served cold. They said it was the worst cruise they had ever been on. I agree that warm is better than cold, but really…
  12. Never used one, but many people do. A major traffic snarl up would affect Cunard tours too, so the ship would wait.
  13. Sounds just like here. It may also mean the roads may be particularly clogged. Half day wine tour? With lunch?
  14. It is Bakewell, after the Derbyshire town, shortcrust pastry with some jam and an almond custard filling.
  15. No, it won’t. Southampton has a heavy rain warning for Friday morning. Sorry.
