Have you asked how he would feel, as a sort of compromise, if you went ahead and booked a single for yourself, as you really want to go and they sell out so quickly and, anyway, prices do tend to rise?

I’d be more worried about novo virus, which is spread through food, than Covid that doesn’t seem to be. In any event they are both ways of ruining your cruise.

I seem to remember it comes with the petites fours since Covid, but it may still be outside with tongs.

I assume it is what we would call crystallised ginger, which I thought Cunard always offered after dinner.

I’ve been on QE2 in the Med, when she was rushing from Gib to Palermo, and the cabin info had her at 31.5 knots for a long while. But the currents could have been very helpful. Equally on QE’s first season, trying to hurry to Le Havre after a delayed departure from Rotterdam, she did 23.9 knots, presumably against the current, The captain said that he didn’t know the ship could go that fast.

And just think of the savings on fuel.

I’m not sure I would trust Cunard on anything to do with geography. I have known them mix up the two Cartagenas.

But you presumably had flights back booked.

Well, as we all know, Quercus does mean oak, so it may as well be a reference to a station in West London.

I had one a few weeks ago.

Not at all?

Or save clanking and just consume the copious booze they have on board - unless you want GM.

On the other hand it does feel like that after all those 23 hour days. 😀

And other forms of formal national dress.

Not for Scots. 😀

I don’t think so. Anyway, Bamboo is pan-Asian, Coriander is the Indian one.

Oh I always enjoy reading reviews, even those that are clearly factually wrong. The negative ones are often hilarious, and the thoughtful ones interesting, even though I have been on the ship a number of times.

I hope you haven’t been reading the recent reviews. Or at least taking them with a huge handful of salt.

If you like gin, there is the Bombay Sapphire distillery near Whitchurch.

Marlow, Bray, Marlborough, none of them too far off course. But won’t you want to sleep? There is a lot to do in Southampton, as well.

Do you mean simply that passengers will simply wear what they fell like, because the dress code is not enforced? It may not follow: though burglars are rarely caught, few of us take up a career stealing from people’s houses. As the text implies, most people want to dress up, and will presumably continue to do so.

Surely a scrum is lots of people in a small space jostling each other. Given that passengers sit at tables why should this be the result of what you assume the policy implies?

Which ship? I don’t think the balcony is larger on any of the current ships. It’s all down to dining and extras.

I don’t think jacket every night applies to any cruises, but most people do in fact wear them, and, depending on the ferocity of the air conditioning, you may wish to, for reasons of warmth rather than style.

My memory says QV too, but they were both here that summer.
