Re: Women at sea
Did a visit back to the UK way back when, Stayed in a B&B in Conway run by two ex Stewards from Cunard, They had thousands of postcards from people who had stayed there thanking them for their stay, don't know how many knew what they were, but me my wife and Sister and brother-in-law where looked after as if we were royalty.

Re: Women at sea
One voyage on the Windsor the main 'Gay' community would not allow the peak steward into their cabins.
One section of crew accommodation held a number of first class wingers that voyage, more maybe than usual.
They said the peak steward would not keep their cabins to the standard they wanted.
Recall him in the crew mess saying he was quite happy about that as the place stank of old perfume and never knowing who he would find in bed when he did his early morning calls.
You may recall the cry.
'Hands off cocks on with socks'


Happy daze John in Oz.
