Don't worry. It will be great (I hope!)
Why wouldn't it be??? See you on the 10th...

Ouch.
On the other hand there are some of us who would likely cheer you up. We can usually be found in the Commodore Club, close to the bar, between 16:30 and 17:00... Give it a try...

I find it far more elegant for him to keep his jacket on and any excuse for me to bring out a lovely--and warm--wrap...

It's being made available only to UK residents (and possibly Germans). My TA checked repeatedly for months.
It just means I get to spend 4 nights between 6th and 10th in London before I board QM2.
It's available in the US... I'll just have to change cabins for four nights...

Does anyone know if the shampoo contains sulfate? I've tried to do a search and couldn't find any info. I think this is something only women care about. :)
"Sodium Laureth Sulfate", followed by a long list of other ingredients..

Detailed information for visitors is here:

I always take with me the name of the ship, the name of the friends I'm picking up or dropping off, with their cabin number, as well as the port map from: http://www.porteverglades.net/includes/media/docs/Port-Map-2009.pdf
The map indicates the numbers of the various berths--they'll know the one to go to when they check the schedule. Incidentally, the schedule won't be updated until about a week before the ship's arrival at the port.
And I make sure the car is emptied of anything not pertinent to the day's trip--it makes the inspection go faster.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question but next January I will be aboard the Queen Elizabeth when she docks at Fort Lauderdale. I am severely disabled and not the most mobile of folks. Fortunately for me my cousin who lives in Florida has suggested she comes down to the ship and meet us.
My question is:
Does the docking area at Fort Lauderdale have gates, is there security and if so will my cousin be allowed to drive in without any type of ticket or pass?
We areplanning ways in which I can get into their vehicle and she can take us out for the day :)
Best wishes
John
I'm not sure what was missing from my answer on the rollcall, but with years of experience driving to Port Everglades, this is what happens: they will have to stop at the gates to Port Everglades, where the security folks will ask them to open the car's trunk/boot, and show identification (Driver's Licence). They will be issued a colored tag to be displayed in the windshield. They will then be allowed to drive to the pier/quay and meet you at the terminal.
I usually check the ships' schedule a few days beforehand to find out the relevant pier, here: http://www.porteverglades.net/about-us/

Everyone DOES look gorgeous!
You will fit right in with any of those three--your main decision now is which one to chose for the Captain's Party, bearing in mind that the official photographers will take your picture with the Captain/Commodore and yes, they're for sale... For Britannia guests, that would be on the night of the Black and White Ball (traditionally the first formal of the cruise/crossing). If I were you, I would pick the red one, which would give a nice contrast next to his uniform...

My first cruise is coming up in January - 7 day eastbound transatlantic Cunard QM2. I know there are 3 formal nights including the black and white ball, but I just can't find a fun formal black gown! I admit, I like color.
At the moment, I think I've narrowed down the other two dresses at least, both from high school proms (I finally fit back into them). One is a one-shouldered floor length gown with a side slit and a very bright pattern. Another is a very simple sleeveless red gown. A third is an ivory vintage 40s wedding gown with a silk short cape. I was considering wearing a sari, but I'm not sure if this would be appropriate.
Are these too informal? I know Cunard is extremely dressy (one of the major reasons I'm so excited!), but I tend to wear very modern evening gowns (vintage dress excluded). Will I come off as too casual?
Even though I can't see the pictures, they sound absolutely perfect! If you are concerned that they may not be formal enough, the right accessories will make all the difference. Look forward to seeing them ON you!

"Not money,

I refer to alcohol.
The screen begins to blur now
And I can't find anything to rhyme with alcohol."
Might I humbly suggest ethanol? cholesterol?
