Solent Girl

We sailed onQueen Victoria for 28 nights in June this year. The Cunard Singers and Dancers had just joined the ship, it was theirfirst contract, some had not even been to sea before!

I can honestlysay that they were the best theatre group we have ever experienced on any ship;we have nearly 300 nights cruising under our belt, with six different cruisecompanies.

They were youngand enthusiastic, very professional, well-co-ordinated and could definitely singin tune. We felt they were West Endstandard and their performances had standing ovations we had not seen before onany other cruise.

Their contractwas to run until January 2019 – can this possibly be the same group you arereferring to?

I would be interested to know if you resolved the mini bar issue. With the Silver drinks package in your DV stateroom did you receive any alcohol and was it replenished?

Safarigal and Roscoe, I have very much enjoyed reading your excellent blogs to date, thank you for taking the time to post.

We board in San Francisco for the voyage back to our home town of Southampton and feel that we are already there with you.

Enjoy the rest of your time on our favourite ship. :-)

I rarely post here, but felt I had to congratulate Solent Richard for his good deed, especially as I met him and his wife for the first time yesterday! Well done to all involved. :)

Thank you for posting the pictures Stewart, love your suite!

I remember seeing him around the ship and I think we sat at the next table to him in the restaurant for lunch one day.

Hope you enjoyed the cruise as much as we did - till the next time :)

PS Did you 'win' the Cunard flag at the silent auction?

Such a shame - we were on the Queen Victoria's cruise to the Canaries in November and would loved to have met him; had we known he was on board.

We have followed his many cruise adventures over the years and have chuckled at his humorous writing.

Missing your blogs Jim, come back to us

Brilliant blog, we have so much enjoyed hearing about your and your fellow bloggers adventures.

We enjoyed a wonderful cruise on the Mariner, which ended as you joined the ship in Istanbul and feel that you have extended our holiday by three weeks!

Thank you so much for taking us along with you. :)
