But he might have thought you would not have known otherwise. In fact we’re it I, I might have been peeved he didn’t come in and wake me earlier. They have a lot to do on embarkation day, and not much time to do it before the next lot of passengers appear, eager to get into their cabin.

No, La Piazza and Coriander are proper restaurant service with tablecloths and waiters etc. And most enjoyable.
-
So aren’t they dinners at KC? Jolly enjoyable anyway.
-
Everyone should be happy.😀

And did you have to be out by 8?

One of the advantages of being on board ship is that trained people and equipment can be got to victim very quickly indeed, compared to most environments on land.

And, when she’s a grandmother, won’t your 9 month old have tales to tell to her grand children - before taking them on the latest transatlantic Cunarder.

I must say I rather like the idea of no jogging. 😀

Seems unlikely as 1988 and 1997 were the same.

Actually, as the programme sort of implies, Remembrance Day is Sunday here. Strictly speaking today is Armistice Day, and not really an occasion, although in the last 20 or so years, the British Legion has tried to encourage a two minutes silence. But it’s not official. -
Our first cruise was 1997, and even then it was as you describe.

A dark suit was acceptable formal wear for years before semi-formal was dropped.
-
There have been quite a number of recent reports of straightforward embarkation at Southampton. So it may well be fine.
-
Nothing more conforming or rule-abiding than a dark suit.
-
That’s good. It certainly wasn’t there on our cruise, so they have sensibly introduced it.
-
Perhaps a missed Norwegian port. But I can remember what they were. Alesund?
-
I thought they did observed tests as well. https://lloydspharmacy.com/pages/covid-19-testing

What about Lloyds Pharmacy?

Well, we were certainly woken by the captain on a Vista to say the alarms had gone off in part of the engine space, and they were investigating. So I’m not sure it is something they are not supposed to say. He woke us again within a few minutes to say everything was fine. Personally, I’d rather be allowed to stay asleep until I have to do something, but some people like to know, I suppose.

It was about the same on our Med. cruise in the summer, but obviously varies greatly between cruises, and can be much less. In any case, a dark suit is irreproachable.
-
We’ve often had a 12.30 time for QG.

Cunard Cruisers - How are things where you are ?

When I was at boarding school, my stomach used to lurch when we drove through the village of Doughton, the last before the school. Coming back and finding that mat on the bed evinces a similar reaction. 😀 -

How nice to have a warm comforting ship to embrace you. -
The order may well be the same, but, unless it has just changed, passengers are disembarking direct from their cabins, rather than congregating in lounges.
-
A dark suit (and tie) will be fine, though you will probably be in a minority, but that won’t be a problem.
