Social Climbing

Janet is trying on her crown and holding up an invitation to the Chief Engineer’s Party to be held in the Captain’s own lounge. How POSH is that. The invitation was wangled by Lillian who sits next to me at dinner and is a gold member of the Portunus Club. You get to be a gold member after you’ve spent the equivalent of a small house (actually it’s probably a medium one at the moment) on P&O cruises. Lillian is a sprightly octogenarian who ‘often has an Officer on her table’. P&O still take customer satisfaction very seriously.

  1. There's a kind of smug look on Janet's face here !! Think that we will have to get an upgrade on Aurora in order to be invited to one of these knees up's !! Hope it was enjoyable. Keeping an eye on the webcam - sometimes we see cruisers ! Weather has looked good.
