A Very British Cruise

A regular passenger called me up yesterday and said they were fed up of all these foreign cruise ships and wanted me to book them a 'proper' British cruise.
Well that didn't take to much thought, P&O instantly jumped to mind or possibly even Fred Olsens.
It was last night though, mulling their request over in bed, I know, I know, I spend too much time thinking about cruising, that it hit me. What had I actually booked them?

A British cruise, that if you follow the corporation ladder high enough is probably American owned;
A ship, definitely manufactured and probably registered in a foreign port;
A dock, to which they will drive to in their German car;
Where they can enjoy an Irish themed bar onboard;
Drinking a French or Belgian Beer;
Followed by a meal in a speciality themed Indian or Mexican restaurant;
To head back to their cabin and chill out on Swedish made furniture;
To watch American shows/movies;
On a Japanese T.V.

Britannia rules the waves indeed!

Oh well, Happy Cruising
