High Tea on the Cunard Queens : A Light-hearted Look at Life at Sea

This amusing insight into Cunard’s legendary liners begins more than fifty years ago when Paul Curtis joined the original Queen Mary as entertainments officer.Over a Cunard high tea in the Queens Room, Paul recounts the stories of these iconic ships.Then, over a drink in the Red Lion, he shares the tales of the antics of both passengers and crews.The facts are delivered in vivid detail – some of them things you should know and an occasional peep at things you shouldn’t.Simply turning these pages releases a sniff of the sea and a whiff of champagne.Paul has worked, travelled upon or photographed every Cunard Queen ever built.He has an offbeat sense of humour and a keen appetite for the ridiculous.A life at sea can do that to you.
