@ontheweb I refer to the tender dock in questioning whether Prima can use Deck 4 instead of Deck 6 for the much steeper gangway setup, not tendering ... yes, know about the lifeboats onboard aren't approved for tendering. It's in reply to dex's comment & how I watch many struggled with that steep incline, down & up - imagine your parents or grandparents with mobility or joints issues. The Prima ship model is on Deck 17 Fwd just before the GP and or OL, behind the elevators. Regards 😎

Starbucks up the block, not our cup of tea ... after a tall cup of fruity bubble tea, we decided to call it & started to work out way back to the ship. Prima's gangway angle is rather steep ... there's supposed to be gangway on Deck 4, but not used once on this TA. Not, I say, not easy for seniors and anyone with access or mobility challenges to climb that 25+ degree ramp.

It's 75 deg F today here and sunny, feels rather hot. French businesses open briefly in the mid to late morning, then close from 12 to 12:15 for 2 hour lunch, then reopen ... some restaurants only open for 2 to 3 hours in the early evening. Ditto for the shops, we basically looked around near Hotel De Ville & dropped plans to see the St. Joseph Church, worked our way to lunch. More scenic photos, stopped by a local pharmacy and yes, checked out shoes ... with 20% VAT - took a pass & moved on. @The P The 3 ladies did looked but no deal.

@Turtles06 Judith, thanks 👍 and so far so good, it's about 10:45 PM out here on the English Channel with the moon up to our west, starboard side. Coastal England is about 20 nm away only. Nothing yet but the night sky is brighter than usual, clear skies and calm seas. Starlink is working onboard and dial into Station Zebra home base - it's 4:45 PM in NY, all is good.

Ditto, allow me to add ...meeting finally those mysterious CC strangers in person to know they aren't AI bots, the friendship that hopefully will endure, continue and last, until the next cruise 🤗 - 36 hours remaining on this TA. We can and will be on the back channel, sidebar, and direct messaging on top of being on CC. BTW, we're finally able to book the last show, one & only this evening at 6:30 PM 🙄😳🫢🤔😯 to see The Price is Right. If we did not had better things to do, would've rush over to see the "show" again as we did so already on the last TA Let it Go, Let it Go 😉😉😉

Lots of vessels traffic as we head toward the English Channel earlier, another cruise ship in the distance, starboard side - P&O Iona at 30x zoom A pretty sunset heading south on the Channel, England on the distance, going 22 kts. with ETA given on Marinetraffic as 5 AM. Amazingly calm seas nearly all the way on this TA, and not missing a single port of call.
