4th of July - 2009

So, let's change subjects, shall we... Is everyone going to see Jersey Boys are some of you going to pass on it?

Andy, I think that's enough - please, I'm asking nicely.

Nick and Marina, I will stop for your benefits. However, my opinions should not come as a shock to either of you. And, you both know the points I'm driving home. I will leave this thread now and concentrate on other sailings.

Thank you Andy, we want everyone to feel at home here. We don't need to start this CC type of fighting over here. And, I left you a PM answering your questions. We're good

I sure hope Andy doesnt represent the typical Cunard cruiser....


and just think,the other day I was thinking how nice these boards are........none of the nastiness that one sees on some other boards.......(until now)

Soooooooooosorry,I dont think Im "ball material"............just not into that,but certainly have no problem at all dressing up and staying that way for the night..........

Andy is one of a few types on Cunard but, certainly not the majority type of passenger. Besides, if it was stiff as he'd have you believe, they'd never let me onboard

I wouldn't be so fast to judge me. I've seen those posts you Polar Bears write, you have the ability to shred people in seconds.

Guys, please, enough ok? Everyone put their teeth and claws back in and, let's get things back on track. Andy, I believe you mentioned you'd leave this thread for those sailing, now might be a good time to have it take effect, ok buddy?

Glad you find our group so fascinating to follow......

anyway,Im done with you.......time to see how that foes button works..........you are not going to ruin this for me.......

Im done now,Nick..............lets carry on..........


You know Im in for Jersey Boys...........cant wait to see it.........

Only because it is YOU asking Nick. My apologies to everyone else except the ones who think they know better. And my deepest apologies to Tina for even getting things started in here. You know I want you to succeed, so, I will refrain from posting in here further.

We hope you enjoyed that presentation of "escape from looneyville", we will now take you back to your regularly scheduled programming

Ok, where were we??

Oh yea, about to sing a round of Kumbaya

Essh Ok Kathy, now tell me the plot of Jersey Boys. I mean I know it's Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons but, is the story line that they're on the verge of their big break or does it take us through their career? And what songs can we expect?

Darn if I know...........I just am a fan of the Four Seasons and heard from anyone that has seen it,how fabulous it is!!

Hey as long as there is a link I'm clicking, thanks Kathy

for your listening pleasure as well...

Headed outside for awhile.........too nice to be in............

Ummm, ok, I see you've all met Andy... I apologize, he gets a bit cranky every now and then. Thanks for keeping things in line Nick, I appreciate it!

I've seen Jersey Boys. It follows their career. Each season is a different phase of their career. Pretty cool. Great show!

I can't wait.........thanks Jen!

Well, that was interesting.
I do have to make one small comment, however.
I want to experience Cunard and QM2. The ship looks absolutely beautiful!
I am sure there will be more culture onboard than I am accustomed to in my normal daily life. (but I do know what to do with a bowl of water w/lemon and I'm reasonably sure which piece of silver to use with which dish)
I believe the questions about QM2 are to gain the information BEFORE we step on ship, so that we don't feel immediately out of place and we'll know what to expect when we are there.
How else do you learn, but by asking questions of the more experienced?
Every single person ever cruising on Cunard had a 'first time'.

btw, I was not a "contest winner".


And...I can't wait to see Jersey Boys! Looks like it will be a lot of fun!
Okay...and since I have never attended a show on Broadway - what's the acceptable dress code???? <--yes, I'm being serious!

I would like to say that although I have cruised many different lines I have never been made to feel that I am less then welcome or that I some how do not fit the mold to cruise such & such a cruise line. That is until today when one person felt it necessary to judge the quality of persons that will cruising on QM2 Jul 1, 2009. Since it was stated that it is not based on income or job title how does one decide that someone is not good enough, proper enough or special enough to cruise Cunard. This sure smacks of elitism to me something I find repugnant.

Oh and I promise to leave my corncob pipe back at the cabin with Granny!

Well I'm glad things have calmed down over here. We are really looking forward to the July 1st cruise and meeting everyone. It will be our first chance to cruise with Cunard and we are looking forward to the more elegant stature of the ship.

I saw Andy's comments too. I think judging someone by them asking about the dress code and seemingly based on nothing else, shows his class too. My problem, I admit it, is I'm trying to buy for weighing less than I weigh now, so I can't just walk into a store and try something on. Whatever I buy, will be temporary, as I wouldnt be to goal by then. That's why I didn't want to spend too much and trying to get clothes that can possibly be taken in. It's not a matter of not having been brought up to know which fork to use. I can't wait until I can get into a slinky, sexy formal gown to be honest. I certainly plan to be there way before the Valentine's Soltice cruise. Andy, I think you are missing out meeting us and wish you would come back and join us. We might surprise you.

I admit I too am so looking forward to seeing NYC and the QM2. I'v travelled around most of the 50 states, but the far NE states are the ones I'v neglected.

jane - why are you explaining yourself to someone who could care less what you have to say and i'm sure you could care less if you ever met?
