barnowl1950 Posted March 27, 2013 #501 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Captain David has said it will be fixed today (fingers crossed) - on a brighter note, the sun is coming out in Barcelona now - has rained since yesterday teatime. Oh right.... just been looking at the weather map in Med, looks like you will avoid the rain for the rest of the week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIFE1 Posted March 27, 2013 #502 Share Posted March 27, 2013 See RR posted a drinks menu, is this for this season? Surely they don't want you to pay £1.50 supplement for Gordon's Gin (know its AI included). Thomson having a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISIN LINDA Posted March 27, 2013 #505 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hope you are having a good time MallorcaChap. Whatever the weather it's got to be better than here - it's freeeeezing :( Still, at least no snow to speak of here, unlike Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Cumbria etc !

Rebel Rouser Posted March 28, 2013 Author #509 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Diana, I believe so. Capt. David Thackeray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skioncruises Posted March 28, 2013 #510 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Capt. David Thackeray. Great. I hope he doesn't decide to go on leave when we go at the end of September. I have never listened to a Captain being so passionate about his ship. He must be absolutely devastated to have had the wrong fuel put in the tanks of his beloved baby.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted March 29, 2013 Author #511 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Today the good ship is in Civitavecchia, not sure if she is now on track after filling up with oil and water on her 1st voyage of the season from Limassol then when leaving port in Palma then heading to Barcelona to clean up the problem and spending Thursday at sea rather than Wednesday.

MallorcaChap Posted March 29, 2013 #512 Share Posted March 29, 2013 You are correct with your itinerary assumptions so far RR. We are now back on schedule but will stop at Palamos on the last day instead of Barcelona. Ajaccio has been dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallorcaChap Posted March 31, 2013 #523 Share Posted March 31, 2013 what webcam doesn't show is that it is blowing a gale and is freezing unless you can get out of the wind - which on here is impossible (we've tried) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIFE1 Posted March 31, 2013 #524 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Many thanks Mallorca Chap for your information. Just so we get all questions answered in one go, would really appreciate your feedback. (Thanks in advance) 1. Are you no longer allowed to take on board any a) spirits bought on airplane or ashore (are these taken off you at security check at boarding and given back on last night). 2. Can't believe the surcharge for proper brands is £1.50, last year I think they were 15 p. what are the house brands? 3. Will it be small tins of San Miguel all season (no draft) this may be a positive as some of the draft beer is awful, (Last year on Majesty, think they were drawing it from the ocean). 4. If you buy spirits etc. from the shop on board will these be taken and given back on last night of cruise. 5. What is the pool area like for kids aged 7? Sorry for all the questions, but tried to ask them all on post. Thanks in advance for any feedback:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireAnna81 Posted March 31, 2013 #525 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sounds like south Wales currently, looks lovely, bright and blue with the odd whispy white cloud, damn cold and blowy too. :cool: Happy easter all :D Sent from my GT-I9305 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
