Even with something as minor as a different type of ice cream, I think it is a good idea to ask the meal before, as someone would have to go down to the bowels of the ship to find it. Were you able to do this?
What about check in? In May, as QG (and diamond, if it matters) I started queueing at about 12.30, as instructed, and was not terribly pleased to see the person in front of me, who was not QG, had a check in time of about 2.30. Whatever priority they may have had, that seems wrong.
No, that was the invention of television, a word which, as you know, is half Greek, half Latin, and therefore presaged the end of civilisation, according to the then editor of the Guardian.
I would not choose to be up at such a dreadful time. It was just that it is light so early that it is very difficult to go back to sleep at the moment.
When my husband was a very young man, ballroom dancing was the sort of dancing people did, and in his case how he met girls, I think. It seems to have taken place on very crowded dance floors, with people who were not expert dancers, but just sort of knew what to do. How did they manage?
I occasionally watch the ballroom dancing, so I have some idea how that goes. What about the other sort of dancing which takes place to pop music I dislike? Do people crash into each other doing that? Is there a code of conduct?
Did you omit a not? Are you familiar with Meteora in Greece, where the monks accessed their rocky pinnacles hauled up in baskets? That would do for those in balcony cabins, at least.
Clearly also the designers are believed to endow the lifts with mind reading powers.
It is much easier (if a little claustrophobic for the incumbent) to get a wheel chair in a lift if people come out to let it manoeuvre, then squash back in around it, wouldn’t you say.
Yes, I encountered that a few times - most strange. Then there was the lady who told me, apparently seriously, that on QA alone were the lifts invariably at the opposite level of the ship to the one where she was waiting, as if it were a planned design fault in QA just to spite her.
