Jimsgirl Posted March 29, 2009 #28 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Oh dear, wonder where I fit in . Born Welsh (mining valley in what was Glamorgan) Lived in London 30's.40's travelled world until 77, emigrated, became American in 82,lived in Florida since 90. I am am very much a "mongrel" Normally manage to fit in on a cruise , though there are exceptions of course . On QM2 on one cruise sat at table with a very crass German, who delighted in telling the table how he bombed London in l940! Another time had the English Mother from Hell,who amongst her other conversation, informed me I should be ashamed of myself for emigrating. Hope you will enjoy your cruise , and if a passenger is unpleasant just attribute it to low intelligence and bad manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNYC Posted March 29, 2009 #29 Share Posted March 29, 2009 WHEW!!! We had some concerns about booking the Queen Victoria for the June 23rd voyage, but, after reading these delightfully witty and satirical comments, we will be "right at home"! We can mix it up with the best of 'em. I guess we'll have to bring along our own coffee. Booking, booking, booking......... One question...Will the Duchess of Cornwall, be on board? Well, Her picture will be as She is the QV's Godmother. Ouch Jim & Rob:D Jimsgirl, I agree Bad Manners travel too.:eek: Happy Sailing Everyone!

Can you give us a tip as to how you managed to emigrate legally and get naturalised at that age, or did you have relatives there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No534 Posted March 29, 2009 #31 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The hay is very good quality in QG....., although it does require special ordering ;)! Rob/Robin, long time no speak. Hope all is well with you both! Been busy with work here so been absent from the Boards for a while. We are looking forward to our next QM2 trip. As for the OP's concerns, there is NO need to worry, we met such lovely people from ALL countries on our Tandem trip last October without ANY problem, albeit with one transitory exception..... It's your holiday, ENJOY. Cheers.....:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I learned on another site which had an interview with the QM2 Executive Chef Mushy Peas are prepared in the Britannia galley and then sent upstairs to the Grill galley where the Sevruga garnish is delicately added ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
