I assume the words ‘of any colour’ apply only to the tie.

So does my May 23 to Dec 24, p. 142.

I think it depends how much of the ship you hope to access. Most, in fact a considerable majority of, men were in DJs on Gala nights on the cruise that ended today. But I didn’t venture into the Lido where things might have looked completely different.

Cunard Newbie Intro + Questions! (We Can't Wait To Sail On The QE!)
exlondoner replied to BeachTunes's topic in Cunard Line
Yes, a day in Pisa could be fairly agreeable and relaxing. A day in Florence will be long, crowded, and frazzling. I would stick to Pisa. -
Every day on a Cunard ship is a special occasion. 😀

Other than a bit of a cough, which I tend to have anyway, I was feeling fine before I was released, so yes I am enjoying my last few days. But the luggage mat appeared on the bed this morning - always a depressing sight.

QV May 2023 Princess Grill Cut-Backs and General Impressions

He did. He said they had made a lot of suggestions to the port authorities. -
My impression is there have been few Covid cases. I have been unlucky, and because I took prompt action, not many people caught it from me, certainly not our restaurant neighbours. But the Medical people have not seemed busy, so I doubt they are dealing with a wave of cases.

They hold let people walk. That would save a lot of coach passengers. As you say it’s not far. -

QV May 2023 Princess Grill Cut-Backs and General Impressions

In the end we didn’t go ashore, because the shuttle bus service was somewhat chaotic and queues were large. But, as the Captain said, it was a maiden call, and they’ve given lots of feedback for improvement. Our neighbours in the dining room, who did go ashore, were quite laudatory, mentioning the extremely friendly people, and an admirable if small maritime museum. -

Don’t forget to visit the library. -
Also, some people want to cross the Atlantic without flying.

And knew their place. Possibly not in a lifeboat.

Cunard Cruisers - How are things where you are ?
exlondoner replied to Host Hattie's topic in Cunard Line
I was liberated in time for breakfast. Such excitement. -
It is gorgeous. Actually too hot to eat on our balcony.

Cunard Cruisers - How are things where you are ?
exlondoner replied to Host Hattie's topic in Cunard Line
My husband has survived six tests, all of which were negative, so was able to have lunch in QG today. I am feeling fine, and should be released tomorrow in time for brekker. We are about to enter the Mersey so there will be lots to look at. -

I find the problem is not finding clothes that fit, but clothes that will still fit after a few nights aboard. -
Incidentally our call at Dun Laoghaire was aborted because sea conditions were too bad for tendering, and we are speeding towards Liverpool where we shall spend the night.
-
No, sorry. Perhaps tomorrow when I’m allowed out.

So what do you call a shirt you wear with a Dinner Jacket? That’s what I think of when I hear the term.
-
Don’t follow this, I’m afraid.

Extraordinarily it doesn’t even give the temp. Most of the info must be available on the bridge, so should be easily transmissible to passengers.

There are two maps, one of the world, the other of the British Isles, and one page showing wind speed and direction, air pressure, ships speed and course, lat and long, and time. Oh, and a page showing a nice picture of the ship, in case you’ve forgotten which one you are on.
