Terrible behaviour on a recent RCI 2 niter

Except, neither of us are from/live in Queensland. And I can assure you, we will party in the most classiest of styles! /quote]

 

Let's get this right , chaps. You cannot have the most classiest. You can have the classiest or the most classy. Need a bit of decorum on Cunard, what?

Fixed that quote thingy for you. ;)

Ok. Let's get this right while we are on the subject. We are not chaps. ;)

Yes, technically correct, although in colloquial use 'chaps' these days is used for both sexes. I feel it's more pleasant than guys, another word that has spread from males to both sexes in general use. So apologies, but is there a good word that can be used when you are unaware of the sex of the author? Folks, you people, fellows ....? Perhaps fellow cruise lovers?

I find that "Hey!! You lot!!" usually works :)

I'm introducing my mum to cruising on a four nighter from Melbourne to Auckland. I hoping there won't be too much chundering, falling down drunk behaviour.

 

 

 

A 4 night repositioning cruise will be different to a 4 night cruise to nowhere. You're less likely to get the hen's & bucks party groups on them.

I've heard and used guys, but never chaps, even to a guy. Folks works just fine. :p
