Bernice would begin her day walking around the deck of the QM2 three times, as many other passengers would do; as many as there were, the ship would still feel remarkably uncrowded.
Then she would bring me a cup of coffee! Next, a buffet breakfast on deck 7, followed by
checking out the stores on deck 3, before finding some activity like a lecture, or simply exploring the whereabouts of everything else one can do. It is a world unto itself. Afternoon tea at 4 pm and a chance to eat scones with strawberry jam and real cream! Dinner usually at 6 pm. In the end we preferred the buffet offerings elsewhere, one of which was open all night. Then off to
the theatre or the cinema.
looks like a relaxing time...
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether your ship is considered a cruise ship? The routine sounds very much like ours on the Caribbean Line. As you say, it's like an enclosed world. I'm glad you're enjoying Margate so much. Maybe you're a Brit at heart after all!
ReplyDeleteSpoilt for choice:-)
