Rare Lionesss Posted November 24, 2017 #501 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We saw The Queen once.....alas....from afar.(Great photo!) If you look very closely at the third window to the right of the green overhang on the palace, that is me and my DH waving from the guest bedroom. Boy one day when I am D+ I wonder what room I will get. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted November 24, 2017 Author #509 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Boy did my status pay off yesterday. I got a huge meal. Turkey, roast beast, all the trimmings, two helpings and dessert. Plus, and this is the best part, we were seated at a table with all the big shots. Amazing services from a great waiter. I'm totally going to give her special mention when I fill out my review, even though I did give her an extra tip on top of the all ready included gratuity.

Domino D Posted November 26, 2017 #513 Share Posted November 26, 2017 This is us flaunting our D+ status at the Queens Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. That is a great photo. Wish you all had worn your Complimentary Robes, but I assume you did not want to upstage the Queen. Probably the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted November 26, 2017 #515 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Question...I saw Trump pardoned Wishbone and Drumstick. Do you think we should pardon a couple of turkeys? If so, what should the pardon entail? Discuss. I like the concept, but shouldn't we pardon Lobsters on Formal Night? We could name them Diamond and Superior, grind a little pepper on their heads and throw them back in the ocean. We would then of course make an announcement promoting our benevolence. This would likely mean that some lower status cruisers would only be able to get imitation crab meat in the shape of a lobster tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel we were in had a breakfast buffet, where they had this machine on which they expected me to make my own waffles. Ridiculous. Luckily there were some C&A Gold status staying there as well. Once they saw my robe and lapel pins, they prepared my breakfast. I let them take pictures holding my pins. I know it seems inappropriate,but it is the holiday season, and they were duly respectful.

Or Britania of the Seas as she is known now. I believe ER has achieved pinnacle status and even the Corgies are D+. They sure do add some genuine hazards to the mini golf course. I know this because one of the Royal scoopers used to follow me around the poop deck when I was a child/lowly diamond. She still writes to me when they leave 2 ply by accident :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
