1“Enough of the Queens,” already. The ambience offends the American spirit. Foppish senior crew members enforce pompous, pretentious and decayed social barriers that conjure up images of impoversihed Irish peasants trapped in their caged class sections as the Titanic slips to its grave; too many for too few lifeboats, what!
Disturbingly elitist attitudes overtake many British clients, their rotting teeth matched only by the vacuous content of accent-encased English that impresses only weak minds.
Laughable, these haughty folks, flaring their nostrils at the more casual and natural behavior of their fellow American travelers, barely conscious of the waste bin where history has properly reposed them.
