Cunard. Ah, yes.
Queen Victoria. Ah, yes.
Afternoon tea. Ah, yes.
While cruising the seas on the luxurious, Queen Victoria, Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth, passengers have the opportunity to slip back in time and sip lovely hot tea and nibble on tiny sandwiches and scones. Harpist and violinist will lull you into a state of relaxation and comfort.
It's old-fashioned and divine. Trust me.
I'm telling you, it is so regal and refined it is positively a floating, Downton Abbey. Only thing missing would be the Dowager, also known in real-life as, Maggie Smith.
So, if you step dainty feet onto a Cunard ship, do not miss this elegant experience. If nothing else, being served by waiters in white gloves is worth your time. That is not something you see with regularity, now is it?
And, if you want to impress those pouring and serving, ask for a SKON (scone). I have it on the best authority that is the proper pronunciation of the word. The c becomes k and you sound ever so British.
Well done! -- Pam
