The Queen had no drawers!

When Cunard Cruise Lines introduced it’s brand new Queen Victoria ship there was a design flaw in the passenger cabins. There were not enough drawers (only 4 to be exact) for passengers. So the tongue and cheek humor of the British prevailed and they spoke of the new ship as ‘the Queen without her drawers’.

Now I find that very funny but I can understand the steady stream of complaints from passengers about not having enough drawers for their knickers. This seemed especially to distress those with the need for the extra storage because they were on long cruises, such as a world cruise.

Cunard has released information that they are adding more dresser drawers to each cabin to help passengers with all of their storage needs. I guess until then, all passengers will just have to grin and bear it with the traditional British stiff upper lip!
