No way, English and Irish irony allowed.

Boarding went like a breeze. We turned up just after 1pm and were onboard 10 minutes later. Apparently boarding actually commenced at midday although the documentation still states 2pm. We still had to do the health form but that was it. Checkin was done in the Venetian Lounge.

 

Norman is here and for the whole voyage, also met Tom Harrison again who is on for a few days. Barbara joins just before we leave this evening and Frank is going to be here for the Bergen event.

Now this was a huge shock, I haven’t seen this stuff in my suite since about 2010! I just hope it’s not another cost cutting measure.

What about Welsh?

[drron29]

Maybe Welsh but it is likely there will be some bonza Aussie slang at times.😉

Not until they get their own alphabet!

We've got 3 more than you to choose from and that's after we've booted out K,Q,V,X and Z! All the silly letters (Unless you play Scrabble)!

Sorry, I don't understand. Are you pleased or not?

My guess is not?

They do tend to palm you off with that muck (which is very good for getting mud off your boots) unless you specify Pommery. Personally, my favourite is Taittinger.

I thought Mr. Silver liked Blue Top.  Maybe I’ve been wrong all these years.

Ok, but how would I know if it was snarky?

I hate this stuff unless it’s adulterated with something useful like brandy

Oh dear Stumbles, you know me not at all.

It turned out to be either a Butler failure or a complication of re-booking at 2 weeks prior to departure. I sort of favour the former as 2 of my three very simple requests were not completed prior to retiring last night.

We have just moved to a mainly westerly course and entered the Skagerrak. The wind is whistling at 30 knots outside my veranda door.

Trust me, Mr. Silver, nobody is more disappointed in me than myself.

[Silver Spectre]

SS and sartorial elegance, not. At breakfast this morning in La Terrazza, we have geriatric baseball boy and his close neighbour, an elderly Japanese gentleman who appears to be wearing a tartan tea cosy.
