Cruise Liners

Thanks JB for a very interesting post about some of your experiences with cruise liners. We certainly agree when considering what some of the modern slab sided monstrosities look like. I've been watching a TV programme about the Billion Pound cruise ship Ugh!. The old tramp steamers that my father served in when I was a kid before the war had more grace. The only thing to compare with modern cruise liners are the abortions called car transporters. The only cruise ships I like the look of are the Fred Olsen ships, at least they still look like ships. Hurtigruten still have some reasonable looking ships, but they cannot really be called cruise ships, as they are carrying out a commercial function as well as a few passengers. I must say though, whatever they look like I am sad when any ship has to go to the breakers. All the best, Nerys

I doubt if they still have Beriozka shops in Russia any longer, I do have lasting memories of them in Moscow and Leningrad. There was a big one at the river end of Red Square if I remember correctly as well as in most hotels. They died out long ago in Romania, chiefly remembered there as a source of illegal money exchanges and a place to buy coffee to give to friendly Romanians, Oh! the tales of the Dollar shops, I could go on for hours. However, I digress Fleet, your message re vodka has been received and fully understood. Cheers, Nerys
