D.H. is reading out to me the details of cruises - brochure just arrived. We are laughing at the names of the ships - all literary figures. We've just said that there should be a D.H. Lawrence one for newly weds! Any other funny suggestions?

How about 'The Boudicca' - only feisty red-heads allowed to book. May bring slaves ...

The Norovirus because a lot of cruisers seem to go down with it.

The Theresa May, for boats which are weak and wobbly, and that frequently do U turns.

The Marie Celeste, because all the dining tables are empty. Norovirus strikes again!

Slab-Side. MrBaggs tends to refer to huge cruise ships as slab-sided brutes.
