Cunarder's Top Sailors

[sarafinadh]

I got the new Cunarder EMag today and had to smile when I saw the list of especially dedicated Cunardists. I couldn't help but think that at least some of you must be around these halls somewhere ; -)

 

Mrs Maxine Bernstein M411 2,961

Mr & Mrs Petitpren M404 2,187

On my 20 Aug transatlantic crossing the top sailor was a Mr William Fairweather who had a total of 713 days. I've a bit to go yet to reach that...just have 369 to date :(

On our last QM2 crossing one of the top sailors was A DOG!!!

 

Being in the dog-house doesn't seem so bad after all.

 

Regards, Colin.

Colin, If it's the dog houses on the QM2 I would be happy to book cheap fare for my SELF ; -) Pretty Posh!

 

QE2Fan, My mind boggles at over EIGHT years aboard!!

 

But at 8 days x 45 crossings, I would be well into my 90's before I managed to give you a run fer yer money, lol!

 

All I have to do is go to Europe once a year for the rest of my life. I can handle that!

 

And if I ever get to where crossing over AND back is an option I could manage it much more rapidly.... Or maybe two trips a year some years... The possibilities titillate!

Of course the easy way pile up the days at sea is to take a world cruise every year. The hard part about that is getting yourself born into a family with enough money and animosity to banish you to sea for a third of every year.

I've been to a few World Club receptions where some of the high mileage passengers were presented to the captain and believe me they were well into their 90s.

What's the least number of days anyone has been awarded Top Sailor for? I think I've seen around 500 or maybe even less.

Miss Klindt was one of my dining companions on the QV Panama transit in Dec 2011. If I remember correctly, at that time, she had 1800+ nights aboard. She was awarded top cruiser on that cruise. So pleased to see she is continuing her travels and has amassed over 2000 nights.

I am very leased to read Erma Klintz is still cruising. I have sailed with her we had the same table on a world cruise a few years ago. She is a character and I liked her. She must be well into her eighties now so I am very pleased she is sailing as that means she is well.

I have clocked a lot of days up on Cunard by doing world cruises.

I love Cunard for world cruises. I have manage to write about my adventures also as they are so different from regular cruises.
