Not a ginger cosmo is it?

No, I'm not a fan of ginger so I don't think I have tried one.

Looks a bit pale for a normal Cosmo, but that is my second guess.

How about this drink.  A fancy version of a classic. The colour is a hint to the flavour.

 

 

That looks like a sorbet, not a drink.

I seem to have quite a few photos of alcohol! Where was this one taken? I can't remember what it's called though.

Not quite, it's a foam floating on top of the drink.

No, maybe the colour isn't showing up very well, it's a pale purple.

You certainly seem to have much more exciting drinks than Mr. HH

I think it might be a blackberry bellini, taken in the QV Commodore Club.

I may have been on that crossing...or they re-use Christmas trees.

That would be a pleasing thought. But the frill round the bottom looks slightly different.

My photo was from the 2013 Christmas cruise.

Same tree, different year. Mine was December 15, 2017, Westbound TA. I did a December Westbound crossing about three years in a row, returning home after teaching a course in UK or Ireland, depending on the schedule. This is the only picture I have of this specific location, so I can't say whether it is the same tree every year.

Here's a photo I took on one of the current Cunard Queens. As I understand it, this is another item that might no longer be there. What is this treasure, where was it, and if it is no longer there what happened to it?

The bust of Queen Elizabeth II used to be on QE2 and is now in Dubai in the terminal rather than the ship.

Was it on Queen Elizabeth or QM2 for a while ?

That's correct. Where was it located when I took that photo on one of the current Cunard Queens?

Sorry, I think I started to quote your reply before you added "Was it on Queen Elizabeth or QM2 for a while ?"  Can anyone tell us where it was located on one of the current ships in that photo of mine before it was taken back to Dubai?

[Host Hattie]

I would say that carpet looks more like Queen Elizabeth so I'm going for the Queens Room on QE.

[Lanky Lad]

It was in the Queens Room on Queen Elizabeth.  I have a picture somewhere of me meeting the Captain in front of it.

That's correct. That bust of Queen Elizabeth II was located at the entrance to the Queens Room on Queen Elizabeth. I think it was in that niche you can see in the deck plans to the right immediately past "Cunard Place".
