[William Dean]

No, sorry I dont, way too easy!:p[/quot

 

 

Could it be...........Margaret Thatcher???

 

 

You mean the Milk Snatcher?

No. I have not heard that expression before, and I have no idea what it means.

Goes back donkeys years, from when she stopped, as Minister of Education, School Milk.

Oh. Thanks for explaining.

William, it is use crying over stopped milk, you know.

I am wondering if I am going to have to buy a full length "ball gown" for the formal nights....I have numerous lovely tea length dreassy dresses that I think will be fine, but don't want to look rediculous when everyone else is wearing full length. Any info on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

 

You do not have to. No one will be holding a gun to your head whilst you are dressing for a formal night.

 

If you want to buy one then go ahead and do so. Not every floor length evening gown is expensive, there are more economical options.

 

Here are some ideas for you.

 

Red can be very striking.

 

If short is your thing then this is something I'd suggest.

 

This sketch is beautiful and I'd start here.

I'm sure they wouldn't be rude and ignore me.

 

Really? :eek: We are talking Cunard shoreside here aren't we? :confused:

OMG what is a tea length dress?

The closest thing I have to a dress is my dressing gown!

Maybe I could tart that up.

I've got black slacks, smart tops. shopping trip cancelled due to shoulder operation and in a sling until the day before we leave, I guess I'll give you all something to complain about, but I'll have a damned good time anyway, are you brave enough to join me?????

 

I was there last week, enjoyed the cruise and a TA. I do not own a gown, and would not buy one unless a spouse is wearing a TUX.

Hi Real PM. No, I think William Dean was referring to Margaret Thatcher...he was explaining one of her sobriquets.

Hi cferro. Glad you enjoyed your voyage. With respect, we differ in that even my spouse decided not to wear a tuxedo on formal nights, I would still wear a gown. And if I decided not to wear a gown, my spouse would still wear his tuxedo. It would not be a problem if either of us decided not to adhere to the dress code, but happily the dress code is one issue with which we do not disagree.

 

BTW, on more than one occasion, tablemates who travelled solo dressed in gowns or tuxedos. I personally that found quite charming, in addition to appreciating their unabashed respect for themselves and others :)

 

Cheers,

Salacia

Salacia, have you ever worn the Tuxedo whilst your spouse sported a nifty little Gown, I was just pondering alternatives. :) It would make a memorable photo opportunity.

It sure would make for an interesting photo opportunity. But which of us would get to hold the teddy bear?:D

[capnpugwash]

Did you mean, the teddy, bare?? I have nothing really that I can say.

It would definitely be only the teddy bear photographed in a teddy, bare. I certainly wouldn't want to add to the congestion around the ship's photographers :eek::D

Well there is the wonderful "Le Smoking" for us girls , ie tux, thanks to YSL I think. Wore it once, never had so much male attention! :)been too scared to sport it since.

 

Cap'n - trying P&O in Aug 11, wish us luck x

Hi Bishpam Boo. Heck, girlfriend, if you got it, flaunt it! Wear that YSL Womens Tux in good health and enjoy the attention. :)

 

Question: what kind of shoes do you wear with a tux on board? (Stiletto heels don't work for me while at sea.)

Bev, I am sure that you and Paul will enjoy yourselves, We always go with P & O at Christmas and it is great, a little different to Cunard and perhaps a step down but that aside it is good. Which ship are you on and where are you off to?
