What exactly is Pol Acker?

to prevent Cunard passsengers from realising that the "Commodore" is a stand-in from the Purser's Desk because the Commodore is still in bed with Sir Martin".

I never sleep with staff:eek:.

An extremely indignant Sir Martin

Can I use it like Nair in the bath?

No:( It will strip all the skin off your legs and leave you in agony for weeks.

But I will try to keep up my end of the statistics real soon, I promise!

Good girl!!

P.S. Re" Work. It's what I have to do in able to afford to be able to do what I LOVE to do.

I hear ya. I keep a postcard of QE2 tacked up on the wall in front of my desk as a reminder of why I keep working.

Nina,

It is fine if you do not expect it to be excellent Champagne. If you accept it as what it is (cheaper Cava rather than Champagne), you will be fine.

We always drink out cottle on the first sailaway. Just make sure it is cold.

(By the way, why has your screen name changed?)

It's not Cava any more than it's Champagne. It's a fizzy blended French wine. I do owe it an apology though:o It is a wine that's been made fizzy by the traditional method and not carbonated. (That doesn't stop it tasting horrible though:D )

No. It's not Cava. It's not Champagne. It is swill, pure and simple.

Now, now, Matthew. Come off the fence. Say what you mean. :)

What is so irritating is that they could undoubtedly get nice methode champenoise fizz for the same price they must pay for that stuff - or perhaps they are paid to take it away???

Not unique to Cunard:

Don't think I would want to pay $24 a bottle.

Best wishes, Stephen.

Pol Acker is to champagne what Carnival is to cruises.

Interesting statement since CARNIVAL owns Cunard. By the way, I'm sure CARNIVAL thanks you for all the money you give to it.

Quite so, when hardly anyone can bear to drink it when it is free. This will go top of my list of restaurants in Oregon to avoid, if I ever go there. Eeek.

Matthew

Isn't Cunard still owned by Carnival? Maybe they don't serve it on Carnival due to the fact they like their passengers!:D

Flame on!

Nina,

 

(By the way, why has your screen name changed?)

Apparently, I was not abiding by the codes of CC. I can put my agency name in my sig and am encouraged to do so in order for other posters to know who they are talking to but didn't realize when I created my screen name that it is not to contain the agency name. I travel for the ambiance of different locations so I thought AmbianceTraveler was appropriate. (Also why I picked it for a business name) Obviously, the Admin did not think so. It's ok though, I do not mind abiding by the rules at all once I know better what they are and am only sorry I was not informed sooner of my mistake.

Didn't know Cunard was a budget cruise line ... guess price doesn't always equate to quality, eh? Think I'll stick to the REAL champagne served on NCL and Carnival. (Moet)

Two more converts! We can have a party!

Matthew

Actually, it is a safety device. If you have to abondon ship and are stranded on an uninhabited island, you are supposed to dump out the contents, write a message, place it in the bottle and toss it into the sea. Just one taste will tell you that you are not supposed to drink the stuff.

Where do I start?

I don't want a "fun" ship.

I do want a ship where people expect to dress for dinner.

I don't want a ship that looks like a block of flats.

I do want an ocean liner.

I don't want to be on a ship where idiots treat the lifeboat drill as a game.

I do want to go on a ship where adult converstation is the main entertainment.

And that's just for starters.

You forgot

Sit in a lounge chair and drool all day (in between my naps)

Watch the walker races instead of the hairy chest contest.

Is the Cunard forum being boarded?

SHOUT THE GUARDS, REPEL THE ADVANCE!

(sorry, back to the POL subject.)

I have Cruised with a lot of Cruise lines , including RCCL and Carnival !

Cunard is still head and shoulders above them all, IMHO ! ;)

Why to you come over to the Cunard board, to spy? You already know all Cunard people are overdressed, stuffy, old greybeards who are so darn snobby they wouldn't recognise a good hairy-leg contest if it can-canned right under their nose. What more is there for you to know?

Unless, of course, you secretly are intrigued with the mysterious libation that is Pol Acker....;)

Started a new thread on the subject...
