We have been on three cruises and loved it. You don't have to go on a ship that is umpteen storeys high with several thousand passengers. There are plenty of smaller ships around that are small enough to go where the big ships can't. We have been above the Arctic Circle twice.
Surely being told where and when you are going to put unto port - you choose a cruise for the ports of call - well we do at least - and as for having your bags searched on re-embarking so that any illicit booze you bought ashore can be confiscated to make you pay inflated on board prices for drinks - that's news to me.
And the captain's table - you think that with that many passengers everyone gets a chance to do that - think again!
cashman, I'm sure I'm missing something here!
What was special about the 'Imperial Hotel'? Or should I not ask?
I got an invitation to dine at the Captains table on the first cruise I went on, it was pushed under the cabin door, it just said to Mr John Farrer MBE on the envelope, it just so happened that I knew the purser from a buzz up the previous night so I showed him the invite, it appears there was another distinguished gentleman on board called Mr. John Farrar MBE I missed out on the top table for sake of an "e"

Gordon..........It was his local.
used to work on the cruise ship,great job but bloody murder on your day off,as we couldn't escape the bloody passengers,always asking stupid questions like wheres the front off the ship or when do you use the lifeboats,i had an american couple who made my life hell for 2 weeks,always complaining and moaning,so on the last day i got their door key whilst they were at breakfast and put firey jack in their swimwear,they have never moved faster in their lives,thought that they had got a skin infection, one to the lads
Do you think that perhaps you are not well suited for a job in customer services?
It's just a shame he wasn't caught in the act, it would have appeared that he was fondling the ladies swimwear, I wonder what the penalty would have been for a pervert on the high seas?
A damned good flogging? Walk the plank? Perhaps, hung from the highest yard arm?
Na Less Keelhauling would have been better

Perhaps that's what caused this latest capsize then?
The ropes getting tangled up and the crew pulled the ship over?
If so, then the Captain is innocent.
Wonder how many are still missing it doesn't say in the article, must be heart wrenching for those people who still don't know what's happened to family members
