  1. OK... if anyone else is on this cruise and looking to lose weight, welcome aboard. I thought it would be nice to have a group where we can support each other and then for those interested, we could meet for a celebratory cocktail aboard the ship.

     

    I have 90 days to lose 50lbs.... it begins now!

     

    I want to lose 10 pounds...this is a great idea, let's cheer each other on!

  2. I know this is an old thread but my father ran the photography studio on the United States from the mid '50's until the ship's last sailing. He always had great stories of all the celebrities and politicians that sailed her. He kept a flat in London so he could save money on hotels while in Europe. He met my mother while in England. My first cruise was as a 6 month old on the Queen Elizabeth but my second cruise, and many subsequent ones, was on the United States. I was a child but to me it was a magical, elegant ship. Every night was elegant night!

     

    Interesting about all the asbestos on board. My father was always fastidious about cleanliness and his appearance. My mother told me after he died that he would smell like chemicals for days after returning home. My father ran the photography studio with two other men. All three of them died of stomach cancer and all of them were in their 50's. I'm pretty sure part of the cancer was caused by the developing chemicals but asbestos may have played a part as well.

     

    It would be a wonderful thing if she were restored.
