Bon voyage mr gut and family on qm2 to tassie

[NSWP]

For some reason as a solo passenger I received a full bottle of Acker.

According to the Cunard website some balcony cabin categories get a full bottle of Acker. How generous, Lubbly Jubbly.:D

 

Anyway we have US$450 cabin obc, promo and military obc. That will pay for a few bottles of 'house vino' in the mdr and a few ciders up top, of course with a few more $ from us, as you do.

[Pushka]

Full bottle for me as a solo as well.

Most went down the bathroom sink!

 

 

Mine didn't even get that far! Never opened it.

[baycruising]

We had a very nice bottle of Delamotte Champagne in our ice bucket on boarding - and one of those cute little champagne caps that kept it fresh till the next day. About the first time I have not put half a bottle down the sink!!

 

Loved the description from the wine list:

Champagne Delamotte is a small producer of Champagne in the grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is notonly one of the oldest Champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in style and pedigree.

Sounds much nicer than the Pol Acker.

Yes, both times I have been on QM2 it's been a full bottle :eek:

I only got a half when there were two of us first time round. I kept the bottle. Dudded. Or lucky.

[OzKiwiJJ]

Hey, Gut, we just passed you on Solstice.

 

Did you see me waving? ;):p

LOL, I am sure that if you didn't see him, he wouldn't have seen you.:p

Beautiful day in Port Arthur today.

 

Have not met Mr Gut. Seems to be hiding. Shy?

 

Suggest house wines be given a very wide berth. Sommelier even recommended a cheaper wine rather than the house.

Yes, I think you were lucky, just like the Ryanair raffle where you put your business card in the box to win a flight. Everyone reckons that second prize was 2 flights :eek:

 

The weather looked great in Port Arthur for them; hope it keeps up for the Guts and Gae.

[Hawka]

have fun

Havent you people heard of Coca-Cola, makes any drink palatable.

Did Mr Gut attend the CC M&G he organised for Sunday?

 

Of course the Sommelier would recommend better wines, rather than the house wines, try the Chilean wines, they are ok. I bet by now the wine stewards are sick of the Strayans saying...'A giraffe of house plonk thanks mate and I will have some ice blocks in it as well.' As they do.:o Shudder.

 

Anyway overall, hope it is going well on ye olde QM2.

At Port Arthur today

 

It was a beautiful day. Not like last time we were there.

Oh, that is terrible. I hope it does not last (but I do have a range of exotic meds if required).

 

Meet and greet was small, but cream. Had Gae, Helen, Richard and yours truly. Mr Gut was looked for and we missed not meeting him.

 

Oh yes, beautiful day in Hobart. Sydney had better lift its game for Thursday.

May manage to find you next couple of days.

Heres a couple of grabs from cams in Hobart today

From QM2 bridge....the cam is inside so is looking through tinted glass, hence the blue tinge. Looking over to Wrest Point

 

From the Rose Bay High School looking back over the bridge . QM2 would be just out of cam range on LHS. Looks a fabulous day weather wise.:D

Someone has gone missing it seems as just announced.

 

 

Was it Mr Gut & family as he failed to show at our arranged get-together in the Commodore Lounge on Sunday?

Sorry to have missed you Mr Gut!

Gae & Helen
