Elderly couple Kicked off the QM2

A wealthy Manhattan couple in their 80’s were recently kicked off Queen Mary 2 for getting into a brawl with other passengers which turned into anti-Semitic ranting. Gloria Sher, 82, and her husband, Frederick Evans, 91, are ex-Broadway producers who met aboard QE 2 in the 1990’s. According to the Gawker, Ms. Sher claims her husband is “the illegitimate son of the Duke of Windsor, the abdicated King Edward VIII, as well as a British Knight.” Right.

Ms. Sher claims the couple did nothing wrong and didn't deserve to be put ashore and that, as a result, their lives are ruined. Gawker quotes Sher as saying “mere days into the couple’s $20,000, five-week cruise, they got entangled with an argument at a black-tie dinner with a passenger who told Sher to shut up, and then added, “There are too many Jews on board.” An enraged Sher, who is Jewish, profanely laced into the man.”

 The Captain, who initially planned to kick them off in Quebec City, gave in to their pleading and let them remain onboard until New York, confined to their cabin. Cunard Line issued a statement, “Sir Evans and Lady Sher engaged in multiple incidences of disrespectful and disruptive behavior towards crew members and other guests.”

I'll keep my eye out for the Movie version. If they are producers, it would make for an interesting film.

What an amazing tale

 Too much alcohol involved, I would imagine.   I'm so glad that I'm a happy drunk!

I would usually say there are two sides to every tale but the part stating multiple issues to me means they were way out of line. Too bad really. Hopefully they learned their lesson.

No, I don't think "they learned their lesson". I would venture to say that this is their typical behavior and they "got caught".
