Maybe not having cruets is authentically Japanese?

The original first verse, and this in a movie realised for Christmas 1944: Have yourself a Merry little Christmas It may be the last Next year we may all be living in the past. Judy Garland did say they would have to change it as she couldn’t sing it.

Stornaway? Am I too early for my second guess? Sorry. I’m probably wrong so it won’t matter. 😀

I fear you are failing to get a grip on cruet comparison. I have only seen one pair so far. Have they been the same in all restaurants? Got to keep abreast. 😀

One of the saddest songs ever written.

Good gracious, what is a priority elevator? How many passenger elevators altogether on your giant ship?

Cunard founded 1840, Canada became Dominion 1867.

Vigo?

But doesn’t the fare work out lower? I’m sure someone did an analysis on here quite recently.

Actually, perhaps NY, if you are at the Manhattan Terminal and get to sail down the Hudson. But, as you say, it doesn’t much matter if you have glorious days on Cunard to look forward to.

Good Morning. The food: everything you have had so far has looked elegant, sounded delicious, and, according to you, tasted really good, with very decent sized portions. It all seems far nice than on your trips on Celebrity and Carnival, and certainly as nice as Cunard. How much superior is it to the MDR food? And how much would, say, that lovely meal in 150CP have cost, if you didn’t have the package?

You are not in the US. You don’t need to tip for drinks. You are paying service charge any way.

Very bad form.

A stroll might perk you up. Might…

I hope you have better weather than on your last cruise. Any hope?

That risotto looked really great. The plating seemed much better than Carnival’s or indeed your own. Yum.

Grim. So have people reserved already? How can you be locked out?

A Are those colours to support Ukraine or just coincidence?

I should hate not being able to go straight to my room on embarking to get rid of my stuff.

😀 Well, as you probably know, it contains an enzyme called bromelain, which is a meat tenderiser, and may help with indigestion. Doesn’t do anything for spiciness. And it’s got to be the right way up, of course.

Finish with a banana - very soothing. For some reason that sounds much more exciting than intended. 😀

I love Brussels Sprouts, just not for breakfast, and not if they are remotely overcooked, which is hard with mass catering.

What a memory. The joys of youth. 😀😀

There seem to be a number of repetitions. I had assumed that every meal would be in a different gourmet(ish) venue.

If you don’t pay, I assume you get access to waiter service in the main dining room, which I seem to remember is an impressive room, and a number of buffets. Is that right?
