0bserver Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Some of the coverage is getting proper cringey now. "Dave will be on the first sailing with his family" But actually, you know what, if it makes them happy then so be it. They're no different from people who queued up for the opening of KFC/McDonalds. They're not really doing anyone harm in the scheme of things. So good luck to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think the cabin boy was called Tom. There's a character called Master Mate though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
