Re: Old, Recent, New, Members
I certainly do remember him and for all the wrong reasons. We were once on the same cruise. Self opinionated and egotistical, his table companions didn’t seem very impressed with his superior attitude either.
I remember he wore a pair of brown plastic framed glasses but the two lenses were different shapes. The man looked a fool but it clearly satisfied his ego.

I certainly was uncomfortable with some of his posts.
But QBman, or Cubie. There was a gent.

I wonder what happened to “Dennis the Menace"…I do recall him having some health issues prior to the publication of his ….? Goes Cruising book.

Actually when he wasn't attempting to enforce his superiority on the rest of us he was a mine of information and very helpful to beginners to the cruising world.
Yes I remember Dennis the Menace who was a very amusing poster. I wonder what happened to him?

The problem was that half his "information" was his own interpretation and was totally wrong from the cruise line's version.oldbluefox wrote: 19 Apr 2026, 18:46he was a mine of information and very helpful to beginners to the cruising world.
