Cruise booker demands pea-only meals
September 11, 2007
It's Cruise Month in Travel Weekly (did we mention it?) so how fitting that one of the requests in our funny client requests competition is cruise related.
This is from Jodie Elliott at Co-op Travel. There's still time to get your own entries in - the winner gets £50 to spend in Marks and Spencers.
The strangest request I have ever received has to be from two elderly passengers who had booked an Royal Caribbean cruise. For dietary requirements I expected the norm such as gluten free, vegetarian, wheat free, but oh no, imagine my surprise when she requested it to be noted on the booking that her husband only ate peas!As you can imagine when calling RCI to put the request on I did have to point out that in fact this was not a wind up and that the gentleman on the booking did in fact only eat peas! I can only imagine the fun they had on the cruise!

That was funny!
I first thought that green peas is now in-demand...

Levr, you mean you thought the whole cruise industry had suddnely gone green pea crazy? I wrote the headline for this so I'll take the blame.
Luckily it was just that one chap, as far as we know. Niche travel is all very well but I don't think the world is ready for all-pea cruises yet.
