May 8th 2014: Royal Flush.

A Royal flush: The first ever pictures of Cunard's three iconic liners sailing in formation as Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria make their way to the UK. (Lisbon to Southampton)



To the best of my recollection, none were built in the UK.

How are the mighty fallen.

[drift] This one time, at alcohol camp, I was dealt a straight flush.

Rly (deuces were wild):

If they're part of Carnival now, shall we take bets on which has to turn back first because all the passengers and crew are barfing and crapping everywhere and nothing is flushing any more?

OK, so when do they roll over?



I took the USS Patch, a military troop carrier re-tasked into a passenger liner, across the Atlantic, twice, three years apart as a child. Probably the two most memorable events of my entire kidhood. They were adventures of the highest magnitude. Especially, since they both embraced major ocean events. The first was termed by the crew, "the worst seas we've ever seen" and the second trip was termed, "worse than 'that' crossing 3 years ago".

How bad was it? The seas were so huge only 20 people of 300 came to meals, half the pets being transported died. Both trips took 3 extra days.

That sounds like an adventure all right.
