They paid a tip to a member of the staff, and voila, the nausea disappeared. <br /><br />Where did you come from by ship? I have seen photos of my husband as a little boy on the El Misr, sailing from Czechoslovakia via Marseilles in the early 1950s. He remembers nothing, but his older sister remembers the five of them sleeping in one little room.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-58375887623447697682017-11-13T13:51:46.197+11:002017-11-13T13:51:46.197+11:00yes I am with the anti cruise people I am afraid ....yes I am with the anti cruise people I am afraid . Its not being able to get off that worries me and also the frequent outbreaks of viruses . I must say though that immigration to Australia by ship was great . It gave people a chance to learn some English and get used to the whole idea . I do have fond memories of that excursion but to do it fro pleasure I am not so sure ???memhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520080648914042943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-1550075584391514502017-11-08T11:34:50.689+11:002017-11-08T11:34:50.689+11:00Andrew

This was worth much more than I earn in a year :(<br /><br />And don't forget, wealthy families also had to pay for their maid's and chauffeur's cabins in second class as well.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-47822736873211761322017-11-08T11:25:37.798+11:002017-11-08T11:25:37.798+11:00CherryPie

But The White Swan achieved at least one great success, rebuilding the Olympic’s dining room in original shape and allowing the public to enjoy it.

They have thousands of fantastic photos, but sadly I can't remember where my coloured versions come from. <br /><br />I love cruising and would happily live out my retirement on board a ship with a very large cabin. But you and my beloved might be brothers; he won't even travel the 12 hours on board the ship to northern Tasmania.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-52454147945961067322017-11-08T09:54:23.811+11:002017-11-08T09:54:23.811+11:00Such a waste, with all that grandeur going to the ...Such a waste, with all that grandeur going to the bottom of the ocean.

There were lavish displays of everything from menus, crockery and cutlery to bed linen. The exhibition also showed personal belongings including toys, weapons and jewellery. <br />One chilling aspect was the card they handed you as you entered. It showed the name of either a passenger or crew-member and a few personal details. As you exited the exhibition there were two huge wall charts where you searched for the name on your card. One chart showed survivors and one listed all who perished. There could be a real sense of loss if your card was that of a victim.<br />Thanks you for your detailed description of how the wealthy travelled - before they were all rendered equal.<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s endemic Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-6466602638422977532017-11-07T19:25:47.167+11:002017-11-07T19:25:47.167+11:00Hello Hels, You do not explain where these photos...Hello Hels, You do not explain where these photos are from--are they from the movie set? Grand as it was, I still would not like the idea of spending such a long time on any boat. (Of course, the Titanic trip was drastically cut short, but certainly that is not my meaning.) Today people use the word "cruise" as a symbol of ease and luxury, yet to go on any cruise would be a nightmare for me. Rowboats and canoes are more my style.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
