A ‘hideous’ encounter at sea

Writing in the Daily Telegraph today, Sharon Osbourne (left) bemoans the Transatlantic crossing she once made on the Cunard liner QE2 to New York.
It wasn’t the worst holiday she’s had – that, apparently was to the South Pacific island of Bora Bora which she re-named Boring Boring.
She said the sea voyage was an experience she would not want to repeat. “It was hideous. You had to sit at the same table with the same people for every meal. There was no bloody escape.”
That’s actually one of the aspects of cruising which most lines are gradually changing, with passengers more often able to choose when and where to eat .
What concerns me is not so much Sharon’s reaction to the experience, but whether the people who had to share a table with her and husband Ozzie have ever been brave enough to return . . .
