January 9th - At Sea


Oh my gosh!! We happen to be passing by the Queen's Room during afternoon tea....while a flock of white-gloved waiters serve tea sandwiches, positively decadent fruit tartlets and the ubiquitous scones with clotted cream. (And yes, tea and coffee too!) What a dangerous spot this is...way worse than indulgent! We'll be avoiding this...except for VERY special occasions! (Or severe ebbs in willpower...) But it is VERY impressive...and very hard to find a seat with all the Brits on board! We are invited to have cocktails at a reception with the Captain. He acknowledges that Queen Victoria's lack of drawers has become the joke of the cruise so far! (It's true...there isn't a drawer to be found in any stateroom on the ship!) The Captain suggests that we get a raiding party together and sneak over to the QE2 under cover of darkness to steal her drawers! Sounds just a wee bit irreverent!!
