Jane is a martyr to seasickness, she swears by Kwells, one before a lumpy sea day, she also finds Sturgeron effective but they knock her out.

They were painting bits of the Grills terrace Sunday, I assume it's a bit like painting the Forth Bridge, once finished it's time to start all over

I only saw yesterday's as we left the ship, but it ll looks to be there, I'll scan it properly when we return home tomorrow so you can judge it better

It does a bit, but all the info that you need is there - I'll scan it properly when I get home

Seems OK again - odd!

Daily programme format change??? This is today's DP for the start of the new Barcelona cruises.

I just had a look in yesterday's (sea day) daily programme and it wasn't on but it was on on all our previous sea days.

I assume it will stay the same as the last two Mondays - Terminal D

Yes but our changeovers aren't a full ship changeover as its a mix of 7 & 14 day cruisers

I've daily programmes from March uploaded on my blog under the daily programmes menu https://blog.rakkor.uk/blog/daily-programme/q208n-northern-lights-march-2022/

There was a sounding of the ships bell and sounding of the ships horn followed by a minutes silence on the QE today at 14:00 GMT to coincide with the Royal Salute.

I had a chat with one of the officers this morning while waiting for the tender and she confirmed that there's nothing definite planned, but they are hoping to resume them soon, obviously there are many values of soon available

That looks mad!

It's my birthday on the 13th and although I'd have liked to spend it on board, my oppo at work wanted the end of September off and since he's been single handedly kept the office afloat while I've been off I thought I out to let him have it. Anyway, so rather than spending it on board we are staying on for a couple of days returning to the UK on the 15th

There are obviously two QEs existing in the universe because this isn't my experience. I'm a firm believer in you reap what you sow, so if you treat the staff with respect they wi return that respect. As for dirty, some areas are getting a bit tired, but never dirty There's a abundance of fresh paint around, I certainly smell it all around deck 4 and the promenade deck where rust is being tackled.

None at all - sorry - apologies to @Lynnewob I stuck my head in on the way to dinner last night, but I couldn't see you and we stopped for a drink post dinner on the off chance you'd come but nope.

Apologies for the delay in publishing yesterday's blog but I was very lazy, plus we'd arranged for an 18:30 pre dinner drinks with our table mates so my routine was all messed up, so much so I forgot my phone/camera so missed out one one of the best sunsets at dinner. Anyway https://blog.rakkor.uk for yesterday's offerings and maybe today part 1 if I don't get too distracted in the Commodore Club by the singer - she's very good!

I'll stick my head in the door on our way to dinner.

Not so much a sunrise as a reflection of one as we were on the wrong side of the ship as we arrived in Valencia this morning

You do get the feeling In some of the comments that traveling Britannia is somehow slumming it, we will be back in Britannia on our next cruise if the second sitting for dinner is back to fixed seating. I find justifying travelling in Grills hard to do.

Jane was very impressed, the food really is good on board this time. I've had a couple of dishes so far that have been just good, but on the whole brilliant.

It's a sea day today, so a relief to have a lie in and a relax with some insights lectures. Dinner last night was excellent with lots of flambé action which you can read about in the blog which I've updated this morning https://blog.rakkor.uk
