Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Matera, great pic! I have read it was Daniel Craig's insistence on filming a death scene. The first director was replaced early in the process due to his refusal to kill Bond (per his own words). I also think it was a mistake as is Craig's inconsistent portrayal of the character.
  2. Bond's rank in Fleming's novels is Commander and in an interview before the Bond films were made Fleming described his character as a former SOE operative meaning he served in WWII (source Author John Griswold in his book "Ian Fleming's James Bond" and officially approved by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd.).
  3. It is one case in which 007 is incorrect. A seasoned bartender would tell you that shaking it bruises the alcohol so it should be stirred. None the less, I always order it that way and then watch my wife roll her eyes.
  4. Point of fact is that in the films, 007 wears a cummerbund in some but not all the films. He sports one in both Skyfall and Diamonds Are Forever but not in The Living Daylights or Casino Royale. The biggest mistake people make is believing it is a belt instead of the real intent, which is as a decoration for the waist.
  5. The Sunset Bar Deck 15 aft port side is cigar friendly. Eclipse has Sip and Smoke events (bourbons, scotches, and a cigar) for a fee as well from what I understand.
