NOTHING CAN STOP A FORMAL DINNER.
Recently a report on the chase between
pirates in the Indian Ocean and the Spirit
of Adventure in January this year, found
that rather than running for cover in a
cold panic, the 350-strong elderly
passenger contingent calmly moved from
their formal dinner to the middle of the
ship and sat down on the floor in full
formal attire.
“Everyone was so calm,” one 73-year
old passenger said.
“The pianist played a bit, but
thankfully not for too long,” she added.
Following an hour-long chase,
Adventure shook off the pirates, and
then according to the report, all
passengers returned to their dining table
to resume their evening’s meal and
entertainment program.
