Bloodaxe

Talking of the Beatles, in 1962 I went to see Roy Orbison who was touring the UK, another great singer in my opinion. On the same show was the Beatles who had just released Please Please Me which had made No 1 in the UK.

Yes time does fly, the event I referred to at Ellis Island was in April 2012. I remember it particularly because the cruise prior to our transatlantic was a special one to the site of the sinking of the Titanic 100 years before. There was a display in the Manhattan cruise terminal with lots of information about the survivors arriving in New York.

It's not often I post these days but I do follow along and sometimes cbip in, Your mention of Angela Lansbury jogged me to respond. About 10 years ago we were joining a Transatlantic cruise from New York. Before joining the ship we did a tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. On Ellis Island they were presenting awards to Immigrants who had become famous later in life. We watched the award being made to Angela who had emigrated from England has a child, she was in her eighties at that time.

I can understand why, once on boarding we found ours broken with jagged edges, very dangerous, don't know why the steward had not reported it. They came and rep!aced it once I had reported it.

Unless it has changed recently, it is Famous Grouse.

Quest and Journey had this available, Pursuit didn't, not sailed on Onward.

Lots of people, we have always had a standard balcony on our many Azamara cruises and have at least 50% of our evening meals in the Speciality Restaurants, you can buy multiple packages which are good value even without OBC.

The picture of the Steakhouse really jogged my memory from 30 years ago. A while ago I posted about us missing seeing Sinatra at the Radio City and then managing to see Alan Alfa in a play instead. We then had a great meal in a Steakhouse near the Theatre, could that have been the same one 30 years ago?, I seem to remember that display of Steaks.
