Top ten ways to tell you’re on a British Cruise ship………………

1. Everyone knows how to (correctly) pronounce Edinburgh, Buckinghamshire, Welwyn Garden City, Loughborough and Gloucester.

2. Tea is a drink and a meal.
3. Everyone has brought at least 5 umbrellas and 3 overcoats, even though the cruise is in the Caribbean.
4. Talking about the weather is a perfectly acceptable way to start a conversation at dinner/in a bar/with a random stranger on deck.
5. You will know what a chav is and how to spot one – “on my cruise ship, how dare they!”
6. You've been referred to as "mate" by at least 500 people, 75% of whom you don't know.
7. You will assume every one in a foreign port is only speaking a foreign language to spite you. You can’t understand why they can’t understand you when you speak loudly and slowly.
8. You will complain loudly and vehemently if there isn’t a kettle in your room.
9. Queuing isn’t something you just do. It’s a way of life.
10. The buffet will be left unattended but they chain the pens to the pursers desk.

This is obviously meant  a bit tounge in cheek, but I'd be intrested in seeing how big we can get the list. Lets see how many more you can come up with here.

Happy Cruising.
