shinyshoes Posted December 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sun shines sweetly in cerulean sky, Ship slips swiftly, silently, smoothly Through sparkling, sussurating, saphire sea.

shinyshoes Posted December 12, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Christmas decrations are appearing as of yesterday, Sunday. Cunard are easing us into the festive season very gently. The odd carol was slipped into the broadcast music beginning about 5 days ago. Last night we had carols from the harpist during dinner. Christmas trees are very plain, just white lights, no gaudy baubles for Cunard. EnRoute to Maderia, wx fine. SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyshoes Posted December 13, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Re the Christmas decorating. It proceeds apace, but the trees have, after all, been decorated with baubles. But the decorators are working to a theme and the trees look really nice. The main tree is going up as I write. All the balustrades and balconey edges have garlands of pine with little white lights. The decorating is not being done by the crew, a special team boarded in St. Martin from an American company. They wear Tshirts saying 'Holiday Decorators'. The big tree is just outside this room and is about 15 feet high. Sorry I can't post any pictures. CWC cocktail party was at 11.30 this am. Dress elegant casual.

I'm getting seriously concerned about your mental health. You are showing disturbing signs and symptoms of catching something that I believe is called "The festive spirit". Dr Jimmy prescribes two bottles of Pol Acker to be downed as rapidly as possible on an empty stomach. That should get you back on restore your pre-frontal "Bah Humbug" cortex to full working order :eek::D J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship's track looks like it was diverted farther south at first and how is coming a bit north. Sounds exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
