I remember visiting Watts Watts 'Wendover' in New Zealand in the 50's she had a Pool Table in the 'Games Room', memory may have got the name wrong but she was a Watts Watts vessel, one of a series of four very nice looking ships

Re: UK's Largest Cruise Ship.
Saw here in Southampton n our way down the river, not too keen on the color scheme. Saw a video about two years ago about the pool table when she was being built. Very nicely furnished and well appointed by the look of her.


Happy daze John in Oz.

I was on the Weybridge, another Watts Watts boat as saloon steward, she also had a pool table aboard ( and stabilisers).
