I think it depends how much of the ship you hope to access. Most, in fact a considerable majority of, men were in DJs on Gala nights on the cruise that ended today. But I didn’t venture into the Lido where things might have looked completely different.
Other than a bit of a cough, which I tend to have anyway, I was feeling fine before I was released, so yes I am enjoying my last few days. But the luggage mat appeared on the bed this morning - always a depressing sight.
My impression is there have been few Covid cases. I have been unlucky, and because I took prompt action, not many people caught it from me, certainly not our restaurant neighbours. But the Medical people have not seemed busy, so I doubt they are dealing with a wave of cases.
In the end we didn’t go ashore, because the shuttle bus service was somewhat chaotic and queues were large. But, as the Captain said, it was a maiden call, and they’ve given lots of feedback for improvement. Our neighbours in the dining room, who did go ashore, were quite laudatory, mentioning the extremely friendly people, and an admirable if small maritime museum.
My husband has survived six tests, all of which were negative, so was able to have lunch in QG today. I am feeling fine, and should be released tomorrow in time for brekker. We are about to enter the Mersey so there will be lots to look at.
Incidentally our call at Dun Laoghaire was aborted because sea conditions were too bad for tendering, and we are speeding towards Liverpool where we shall spend the night.
There are two maps, one of the world, the other of the British Isles, and one page showing wind speed and direction, air pressure, ships speed and course, lat and long, and time. Oh, and a page showing a nice picture of the ship, in case you’ve forgotten which one you are on.
