SakeDad Posted April 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Sorry, but I have been reading MANY posts that have misspelt room/dining room/wine stewards....it is steward NOT stewart or stuart!! I realize spellcheck may not catch this and I was OK for the first 100 times I saw this but I can no longer keep silent!:mad: I am not trying to make anyone feel bad, just trying to get the PROPER spelling of the very special people that make our cruises so wonderful!!:D Sorry....it's a pet peeve:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinknock50 Posted April 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree.....I don't know why all the cabin stewarts don't rise up and protest! I have always had great stewarts on all my cruises. Stewarts are what makes cruising special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomc Posted April 30, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Do you mean the dinning room stewarts? (The two misspellings have become somewhat of a CC joke. Some people can't spell, some can't type and the rest of us do it as a joke.) I assume you have heard of the mustard drill before the ship leaves the dock...

beachchick Posted April 30, 2007 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, if we're going to be picky about it, "misspelt" is not a word. The correct word is "misspelled." beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeinsb Posted April 30, 2007 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yeah! And while we're at it, it's Murano, not Murano's (it's the name of a place in Italy, not the name of some Eye-tal-yun who runs a pizza joint).:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakeDad Posted April 30, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, if we're going to be picky about it, "misspelt" is not a word. The correct word is "misspelled." beachchick You WIN!! I was wondering if anyone would catch that.:rolleyes: As for the original topic I find it amazing and wonderful that there is a whole sub-culture of steward/stewart lovers here and that they are VERY aware of themselves! But I still would love to know the history of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.Oceanlover Posted April 30, 2007 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2007 When we leave our cabin to go to the "dinning" room we let our "stewart" know in case he wants to get started doing our room. After dinner we always take the stairs so we can "loose" a few pounds.;) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 30, 2007 #17 Share Posted April 30, 2007 The first person we look for after barking the boat is our room stuart because we happen to like stewed prunes in our hut in the afternoon. Now, during our last cruise, we had a stuwardes but she had a brother, Stewart, who also was a stuart and well known for stewing prunes Indonesian style (they're called stewatoes). The problem arose after the mustard drill when we were looking for the stewed stewatoes from Stewart, the stuart, the brother of our stuwardes, Stacy. Never did find him:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TV Dad Posted April 30, 2007 #18 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Imagine how insane this thread would become if someone had a steward named Stuart Stewart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 30, 2007 #19 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree with you -- over the years I have also seen many people on various boards use stewart instead of steward. Spell check here doesn't work for me - I am on my own to spell correctly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seago2 Posted April 30, 2007 #22 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I am so used to stewart it doesn't even register. Neither does dinning room (place to have diner). But how does "crusie" happen? It happens all the time, too. "Review of My Nordam Crusie" all the time. why?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
