It is a holiday weekend, the Royal Wedding is next week.
Lunch at Kona with Gaz was sublime and the West Palm Beach weather is absolute perfection.
Perfection. Now, there's a word that is...perfect!
Apparently, Cunard thinks our Queen Victoria Captain Christopher, is also perfection for a name change. At least, a title change.
You kids remember how we thought El Cap was pretty groovy and we sat at his table for fine dining and got to hang out on his Bridge? Wait, that sounds like we were stalking him. But, that's another blog.
Wait. Stalking? Remember that he was also our Captain when we crossed the Atlantic to South Hampton on the Queen Mary II? Hm. Yes, another blog.
Well, our shenanigans aside, Cunard floated a Press Release yesterday that Captain Christopher Rynd is now, Commodore Rynd of the entire fleet of vessels.
Here's what they had to say:
Captain Christopher Rynd has been appointed Commodore of the Cunard Line fleet – Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria – the youngest fleet in the industry and The Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World. Captain Rynd assumes the title held by Commodore Bernard Warner who retired from the company on 19 April 2011.

So, get this...we now know a Commodore and on our last evening on the Queen Victoria we got our groove on in the Commodore Club with Mo, Brian, Lucia and Alfonso. Man, you can't shake an anchor without hitting a Commodore something.
Nah, Captain Rynd seems to be the ultimate Commodore and we wish him well.
Now...a few more snaps and words from the Queen Victoria, Commodore Club as we cruised toward, Fort Lauderdale and home.
Lucia, from Miami, tells us how things should be. She and Alfonso were delightful and fascinating. Leaving Cuba behind in 1959, they have some stories to tell.
Beautiful, Mo, has a striking resemblance to, Camilla Wales. Although Mo doesn't have a royal title like the Mrs-Duchess Wales, she is much lovelier. Oh, the Duchess did christen the Queen Victoria, so her photo is hanging around the ship.
Kudos to the Duchess, she got her Prince along with that title.
The voyage was almost over as we had a last toast, but don't leave the blog just yet, there's a bonus (I'm such a giver). A video!!
A word by any other name, it still goes with tea. Don't miss, Mo, of Bath, UK, coaching zany Americans (Gaz and I) on the proper pronunciation of the word...scones.
What?
Sounds easy?
Well, think again, kids!
Stay with us...more British what-have-you in the queue!!
