...and paper and ink - Cunarder is the title of the publication mailed to World Club members. Previously the title was The Cunarder, but the latest U.S. edition is simply Cunarder titled on the cover. While on page 39, it is referred to as The Cunarder. Clearly, Cunard can't be accused of consistency. -S.

Well, the suits who drive the Carnival brand known as Cunard can, of course, do and say just as they please.

Purser Desk, not Front Office. Fore, aft - not front and back. Port, starboard, not right and left. These are the things long writ in remembrance.

Yes. Sorry, but it's not like they were dressed for dinner on a Cunard ship. Covering the bases, so to speak.
