A CHARACTERISTIC TO BE PROUD OF?
The next time you see a tipsy Brit
onboard you may want to ask them if
they are exercising a “national trait”.
A recent British poll has found that
more than one quarter of English
citizens believe that getting drunk is a
“national trait”.
Other characteristics believed to make
one British include drinking tea
according to 60% of Brits, whilst 40%
said having a “stiff upper lip” mentality
was also decidedly British.
Unsurprisingly, almost half of the Brits
surveyed said that supporting the British
Royal Family was a national trait.
So for anyone feeling a little out of
place onboard any of the cruise lines
hosting a Royal Wedding festivity, all you
need to do is simply sip some tea, swill
some wine and do so in a stoic manner,
and you’ll fit right in.
LOVE A COUPLE OF CUBAN CIGARS?
Cruisers who love to sit back and relax
with a Cuban at the end of a long day
portside will be excited to learn that the
world’s longest cigar is currently being
crafted in Cuba.
The 70 metre smoke is the brainchild
of 67-year old Jose Castelar, who has
been slaving up to eight hours a day for
more than a week in his attempt to beat
his own 2009 cigar record of 43.38m.
PRINCESSES IN PORT.
If you love Disney’s princesses and you
are cruising out of or into Florida, then
you may want to book a pre or post stay
at Walt Disney World.
According to reports, Walt Disney
World Resort is hoping to boost bookings
by converting some of its Port Orleans
Resort rooms into princess-themed
extravaganzas.
Complete with princess-and-the-frog
themed headboards and princess beds,
Aladdin’s bathroom faucets, fibre optic
special effects and Beauty and the Beast
footstools, the ‘Royal Rooms’ will most
likely open between Feb and Mar 2012.
As with most royal tags, the rooms will
carry a premium price (which Disney has
yet to specify).
