    I’m no expert either, but enjoy drinking the stuff. It seemed to me a decent selection of wines by the glass, but who knows they may all taste horrid. Bet they don’t. J. B. King of Philadelphia was one of the greatest fast bowlers of the late 19th Century. So now you know something about cricket.

    So minuets and gavottes and stuff? 😀

    Thank you very much for all the wine lists. There is an impressively wide choice of wines by the glass and the packages seem quite generous. Do those packages include the gratuities?

    Interesting. On all my many Cunard voyages, I have never even dreamt of bringing up US politics with US (or any other) passengers. The most controversial topic I ever bring up is cricket with Australians, especially if we happen to be winning.

    You know some of those dishes are so messy, I should have thought you plated them yourself. Look tasty though. 😀
  6. exlondoner
    Much more impressive than the last pair.

    I think there were actually two cruises cancelled by Covid which we were both due to be on. However, luckily, it is all a bit of a blur now.

    I think we were on the same cruise, first time on QV, in a P1. I resolved always to go in QG in future, because the P1 was so narrow and claustrophobic.

    A TV dinner is hardly an advance on a sandwich. 😀

    Of course you want to keep up with the Joneses, but ownership of an automatic washing machine really was transformative for housewives, much more so than other convenience goods. Not for nothing did Hotpoint call their machine the Liberator. It really was.

    So that is quite hopeful really.Maybe Cunard one day…

    And houses full of modern conveniences like automatic washing machines, which we in the UK could only dream of.

    😀😀Actually I do like ginger ice cream, at least when cold so it might be a goer. so, I am imagining light comedies with perfect teeth and perfect children and even a perfect dog. Television did badly for Nixon when he was running against Kennedy, simply because of his uncouth appearance against Kennedy’s burnished charisma.

    What shows did they focus on? Or rather what era?
  15. exlondoner
    Toothache is what it is, but that doesn’t stop it being annoying.😀
  16. exlondoner
    Do the other Carnival companies let you do this?
  17. exlondoner
    Sorry, don’t dance. I understand why it is called silent, I just can’t grasp the point of it. It seems like hot ice cream as an oxymoron. And don’t the headphones spoil your hair, for those who have any?
  18. exlondoner
    Yes, surely they can do something about the bed. It’s so basic.
  19. exlondoner
    I see the Southampton weather was at its best. 😀
  20. exlondoner
    Both I believe, and they sometimes have a mask making activity. But you don’t have to have a mask: most passengers don’t, though more of those choosing to dance in the Queens Room.

    Given that I don’t like pop music or any sort of disco, I suppose it’s inevitable, but this concept still baffles me. I can see it is good for passers-by, as they don’t have to hear the music, and mildly amusing perhaps for the spectators, for a few minutes, but, like gingerbread villages, my main reaction is why? And I hate wearing headphones. 😀

    I assume the menus are standardised across the fleet, or at least the US part of it? Also could you print the wine menu, or the cheap end of it, if it is very long? Many thanks.
  23. exlondoner
    I know the first night is almost the most shambolic, but, given their experience and reputation for quality, you’d think they would be able to organise things so that doesn’t happen, or do they just not care?
  24. exlondoner
    Wonder what?
  25. exlondoner
    Now tinned strawberries are something I’ve never knowingly had, at grandmother’s or anywhere. Mind you, I used to adore bananas and carnation.
