Your best and your worst dinning companions OF ALL TIME!!!!
Hi peanuts,
12 + cruises and going strong. Thankfully, I've never had a truly bad dinning companion (well, there was one, but that was only for one night the second to last night of the cruise, so I don't count that -- she was a drama enthusiast [and how many words have I spent on her for not counting her?]). They have been gentlemen and ladies all!!! We've had some characters, we've had some subdued sleeper types, and we've had some truly life loving dinner pals. Who are your most memorable? Mine was on the Grand Princess. There was me and my pal -- there was a 40+ year old tiny little woman with a crutch whom we nicknamed Marzipan because she was shouting "that's a Marzipan", and the word Marzipan coming out of her husky voice (big bosom) was just an inviting contrast; a retired European couple (she a classical pianist, and he....he wouldn't say; rather, he refused to say); and a nice older couple, antique dealers who ran a newspaper who reminded me of my parents. Our waiter was a hoot, and our assistant waiter was a young woman with a Ph.D. from, then, Russia (the cruise lines paid more, she said) - this was at that time when the Baked Alaskas were on FIRE.....great memories. It wasn't a hopping table but there was a lot of life experience sitting with us, and they were really a joy. |
